Connecting Radiative Neutrino Mass, Neutron-Antineutron Oscillation, Proton Decay, and Leptogenesis through Dark Matter

Abstract

The scotogenic mechanism for radiative neutrino mass is generalized to include neutron-antineutron oscillation as well as proton decay. Dark matter is stabilized by extending the notion of lepton parity to matter parity. Leptogenesis is also a possible byproduct. This framework unifies the description of all these important, but seemingly unrelated, topics in physics beyond the standard model of particle interactions.
