Scotogenic dark matter stability from gauged matter parity

We explore the idea that dark matter stability results from the presence of a matter-parity symmetry, arising naturally as a consequence of the spontaneous breaking of an extended SU(3)⊗SU(3)L⊗U(1)X⊗U(1)N electroweak gauge symmetry with fully gauged B-L. Using this framework we construct a theory fo...

Description
Summary:We explore the idea that dark matter stability results from the presence of a matter-parity symmetry, arising naturally as a consequence of the spontaneous breaking of an extended SU(3)⊗SU(3)L⊗U(1)X⊗U(1)N electroweak gauge symmetry with fully gauged B-L. Using this framework we construct a theory for scotogenic dark matter and analyze its main features.
