We study the possibility of simultaneously addressing neutrino phenomenology and the dark matter in the framework of inverse seesaw. The model is the extension of the standard model by the addition of two right handed neutrinos and three sterile fermions which leads to a light sterile state with the mass in the keV range along with three light active neutrino states. The lightest sterile neutrino can account for a feasible dark matter(DM) candidate. We present a S 4 flavor symmetric model which is further augmented by Z 4 × Z 3 symmetry to constrain the Yukawa Lagrangian. The structures of the mass matrices involved in inverse seesaw within the S 4 framework naturally give rise to correct neutrino mass matrix with non-zero reactor mixing angle θ 13 . In this framework, we conduct a detailed numerical analysis both for normal hierarchy as well as inverted hierarchy to obtain dark matter mass and DM-active mixing which are the key factors for considering sterile neutrino as a viable dark matter candidate. We constrain the parameter space of the model from the latest cosmological bounds on the mass of the dark matter and DM-active mixing.
We study [Formula: see text] flavor symmetric inverse seesaw model which has the possibility of simultaneously addressing neutrino phenomenology, dark matter (DM) and baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU) through leptogenesis. The model is the extension of the standard model by the addition of two (RH) neutrinos and three sterile fermions leading to a keV scale sterile neutrino DM and two pairs of quasi-Dirac states. The CP violating decay of the lightest quasi-Dirac pair present in the model generates lepton asymmetry which then converts to BAU. Thus, this model can provide a simultaneous solution for nonzero neutrino mass, DM content of the universes and the observed baryon asymmetry. The [Formula: see text] flavor symmetry in this model is augmented by additional [Formula: see text] symmetry to constrain the Yukawa Lagrangian. A detailed numerical analysis has been carried out to obtain DM mass, DM-active mixing as well as BAU both for normal hierarchy as well as inverted hierarchy. We try to correlate the two cosmological observables and found a common parameter space satisfying the DM phenomenology and BAU. The parameter space of the model is further constrained from the latest cosmological bounds on the observables.
In this paper, we construct a model with the help of modular symmetry in the framework of minimal inverse seesaw [ISS(2,3)]. We have used Γ(3) modular group which is isomorphic to non-Abelian discrete symmetry group A 4 . In this group there are three Yukawa modular forms of weight 2. Through this model, we study neutrino masses and mixing for both normal and inverted hierarchy. Use of modular symmetry reduces the need for extra flavons and their specific VEV alignments, as such, minimality of the model is maintained to a great extent. Along with A 4 symmetry group, we have used Z 3 to restrict certain interaction terms in the Lagrangian. Further we calculate the effective mass to address the phenomena of neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ).The values of effective mass is found to lie within the bound (m ef f < 0.165 eV) as predicted by different 0νββ experiments.
