Dark matter and flavor changing in the flipped 3-3-1 model

The flipped 3-3-1 model discriminates lepton families instead of the quark ones in normal sense, where the left-handed leptons are in two triplets plus one sextet while the left-handed quarks are in antitriplets, under $SU(3)_L$. We investigate a minimal setup of this model and determine novel consequences of dark matter stability, neutrino mass generation, and lepton flavor violation. Indeed, the model conserves a noncommutative $B-L$ symmetry, which prevents the unwanted vacua and interactions and provides the matter parity and dark matter candidates that along with normal matter form gauge multiplets. The neutrinos obtain suitable masses via a type I and II seesaw mechanism. The nonuniversal couplings of $Z'$ with leptons govern lepton flavor violating processes such as $μ\rightarrow 3e$, $μ\rightarrow e \barν_μν_e$, $μ$-$e$ conversion in nuclei, semileptonic $τ\rightarrow μ(e)$ decays, as well as the nonstandard interactions of neutrinos with matter. This $Z'$ may also set the dark matter observables and give rise to the LHC dilepton and dijet signals.

Phenomenology of the simple 3-3-1 model with inert scalars

The simple 3-3-1 model that contains the minimal lepton and minimal scalar contents is detailedly studied. The impact of the inert scalars (i.e., the extra fundamental fields that provide realistic dark matter candidates) on the model is discussed. All the interactions of the model are derived, in which the standard model ones are identified. We constrain the standard model like Higgs particle at the LHC. We search for the new particles including the inert ones, which contribute to the $B_s$-$\bar{B}_s$ mixing, the rare $B_s\rightarrow μ^+μ^-$ decay, the CKM unitarity violation, as well as producing the dilepton, dijet, diboson, diphoton, and monojet final states at the LHC.

Flavor changing in the flipped trinification

The flipped trinification, a framework for unifying the 3-3-1 and left-right symmetries, has recently been proposed in order to solve profound questions, the weak parity violation and the number of families, besides the implication for neutrino mass generation and dark matter stability. In this work, we argue that this gauge-completion naturally provides flavor-changing neutral currents in both quark and lepton sectors. The quark flavor changing happens at the tree-level due to the nonuniversal couplings of $Z'_{L,R}$, while the lepton flavor changing $l\rightarrow l'γ$ starts from the one loop level contributed significantly by the new charged currents of $Y_{L,R}$, which couple ordinary to exotic leptons. These effects disappear in the minimal left-right model, but are present in the framework characterizing a flipped trinification symmetry.

Investigation of Dark Matter in the 3-2-3-1 Model

We prove that the $SU(3)_C\otimes SU(2)_L \otimes SU(3)_R\otimes U(1)_X$ (3-2-3-1) gauge model always contains a matter parity $W_P=(-1)^{3(B-L)+2s}$ as conserved residual gauge symmetry, where $B-L=2(βT_{8R}+X)$ is a $SU(3)_R\otimes U(1)_X$ charge. Due to the non-Abelian nature of $B-L$, the $W$-odd and $W$-even fields are actually unified in gauge multiplets. We investigate two viable versions for dark matter according to $β=\pm1/\sqrt{3}$, where the dark matter candidates can be fermion, scalar, or vector fields. We figure out the parameter spaces in the allowed regions of the relic density and direct detection cross-sections. Additionally, we examine the neutrino masses induced by the seesaw mechanism along with associated lepton flavor violation processes. The new gauge boson searches at the LEPII and LHC are discussed.
