Unified Framework for Matter, Dark Matter, and Radiative Neutrino Mass

Abstract

The well-studied radiative model of neutrino mass through $Z_2$ dark matter is shown to be naturally realizable in the context of SU(6) grand unification. A recent new proposal based on U(1)_D dark matter is similarly accommodated in SU(7). Just as the proton is unstable at the scale of quark-lepton unification, dark matter is expected to be unstable at a similar scale.
