We propose an extension of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model in which the gauge group $SU(2)_L$ is promoted to $SU(2)_1 \times SU(2)_2$. This framework naturally includes a viable dark matter candidate and generates neutrino…

We propose a two-loop radiative neutrino mass model based on the modular $\Gamma_4 \simeq S_4$ flavour symmetry supplemented by a discrete $Z_3$ symmetry. After spontaneous modular symmetry breaking, a remnant $Z_2$ symmetry guarantees both…

The scotogenic scenario provides an attractive approach to both Dark Matter and neutrino mass generation, in which the same symmetry that stabilises Dark Matter also ensures the radiative seesaw origin of neutrino mass. However the simplest…

We investigate the potential of a minimal Scotogenic model with two additional scalar doublets and a single heavy Majorana fermion to explain neutrino masses, dark matter, and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. In this minimal setup,…

We propose the first scotogenic neutrino mass model with gauged lepton number $U(1)_L$, which is spontaneously broken by three units $\Delta L=3$ down to a residual discrete gauge symmetry $\mathbb{Z}_6$. The latter guarantees that…

Generalized CP symmetry of order 4 (CP4) is surprisingly powerful in shaping scalar and quark sectors of multi-Higgs models. Here, we extend this framework to the neutrino sector. We build two simple Majorana neutrino mass models with…

If the leptoquarks proposed to account for the intriguing anomalies observed in the $B$-meson decays, $R_{D^{(\ast)}}$ and $R_{K^{(\ast)}}$, as well as in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $(g-2)_\mu$, can be embedded into the…

We systematically study and classify scotogenic models with a local U(1) gauge symmetry. These models give rise to radiative neutrino masses and a stable dark matter candidate, but avoid the theoretical problems of global and discrete…

We show that the scotogenic dark symmetry can be obtained as a residual subgroup of the global $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry already present in Standard Model. We propose a general framework where the $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry is spontaneously broken…

We construct a scotogenic neutrino mass model introducing large $SU(2)_L$ multiplet fields without adding an extra symmetry. We have introduced extra scalar fields such as a septet, quintet and quartet where we make the vacuum expectation…

Scotogenic is a scheme for neutrino mass generation through the one-loop contribution of an inert scalar doublet and three sterile neutrinos. This work argues that such inert scalar doublet is a Goldstone boson mode associated with a gauge…

We propose a model based on modular $A_4$ symmetry containing a dark matter candidate, realizing radiatively induced neutrino mass at one-loop level. One finds that stability of dark matter candidate can be assured by nonzero value of…

We build an $S_4$ model for neutrino masses and mixings based on the self-complementary (SC) neutrino mixing pattern. The SC mixing is constructed from the self-complementarity relation plus $\delta_{\rm CP}=-\frac{\pi}{2}$. We elaborately…

The scotogenic model is a well motivated scenario that provides both an explanation for neutrino masses and for dark matter. We focus on a real scalar dark matter candidate in this model, produced through standard thermal freeze-out. We…
