We formulate a predictive model of fermion masses and mixings based on a $\Delta(27)$ family symmetry. In the quark sector the model leads to the viable mixing inspired texture where the Cabibbo angle comes from the down quark sector and…
Motivated by the observed ratio of dark matter to baryon mass densities, $\rho_D/\rho_B \simeq 5$, we propose a theory of dark-color unification. In this theory, the dark to visible baryon masses are fixed by the ratio of dark to visible…
The class of `Asymmetric Dark Matter' scenarios relies on the existence of a primordial particle/anti-particle asymmetry in the dark sector related to the baryon asymmetry as a way to address the observed similarity between the baryonic and…
A TeV-scale Higgs doublet can acquire a tiny vacuum expectation value via its small mixing with the standard model Higgs doublet. Ones then can realize a testable Dirac neutrino mass generation through the sizable Yukawa couplings among…
It is known that the cosmological baryon density ($\Omega_{\rm{b}}$) and dark matter density ($\Omega_{\rm{dm}}$) have strikingly similar values. However, in most theories of the early Universe, each density is explained by separate…
We discuss a model based on a hidden $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry in which neutrino mass is induced at two-loop level by effects of interactions among particles in hidden sector and the Standard Model leptons. Since neutrino mass is suppressed…
We show that both the baryon asymmetry of the Universe and the dark matter abundance can be explained within a single framework that makes use of maximally helical hypermagnetic fields produced during pseudoscalar inflation and the chiral…
We study a model of neutrino and dark matter within the framework of a minimal extended seesaw. This framework is based on $A_4$ flavor symmetry along with the discrete $Z_4$ symmetry to stabilize the dark matter and construct desired mass…
We propose a novel mechanism to realize two-component asymmetric dark matter of very different mass scales through bound state formation and late freeze-in decay. Assuming a particle-antiparticle asymmetry is initially shared by SM baryons…
Recently a new dynamical symmetry breaking model of electroweak interactions was proposed based on interacting fermions. Two fermions of different SU(2) representations form a symmetry breaking condensate and generate the lepton and quark…
I suggest an extension of the SM by introducing a dark sector with the local $U(1)_{D}$ symmetry. The particles in the dark sector bring about the new physics beyond the SM. In particular the global $B-L$ symmetry is violated just above the…
Status of the discrete symmetry approach to explanation of the lepton masses and mixing is summarized in view of recent experimental results, in particular, establishing relatively large 1-3 mixing. The lepton mixing can originate from…
We propose a mechanism for cogenesis of baryon and dark matter (DM) in the universe via the Affleck-Dine (AD) route. An AD field which breaks the lepton number symmetry, leads to the generation of lepton asymmetry by virtue of its cosmic…
Many models of dark matter scattering with baryons may be treated either as a simple contact interaction or as the exchange of a light mediator particle. We study an alternative, in which a continuum of light mediator states may be…
We present an effective field theory describing the relevant interactions of the Standard Model with an electrically neutral particle that can account for the dark matter in the Universe. The possible mediators of these interactions are…
To explain the dark matter and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, the parameters of the $\nu$MSM (an extension of the Minimal Standard Model by three singlet neutrinos with masses smaller than the electroweak scale) must be fine-tuned:…
We argue that neutrino mass and dark matter can arise from an approximate $B-L$ symmetry. This idea can be realized in a minimal setup of the flipped 3-3-1 model, which discriminates lepton families while keeping universal quark families…
Low-scale supersymmetry breaking in string motivated theories implies the presence of O(100) TeV scale moduli, which generically lead to a significant modification of the history of the universe prior to Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. Such an…
We study the phenomenology of choosing a minimal set of effective operators simultaneously generating the dark matter relic density and matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. Neutrino masses are obtained in a specific case of…
We study a scenario in which the baryon asymmetry is created through Hawking radiation from primordial black holes via a dynamically-generated chemical potential. This mechanism can also be used to generate the observed dark matter…
