Introduction
The mystery of Dark Matter (DM) is one of the biggest open questions in science [1{4].
Despite the fact that its existence has been ascertained at several distance scales of our
universe, its nature has not yet been resolved and the Standard Model (SM) fails to account
for it. The need to extend the SM goes beyond the DM problem, due to the existence of
{ 1 {
important open questions connected to neutrino masses, the cosmological baryon-number
asymmetry, in ation and reheating. Besides, from the theoretical side, the SM fails to
explain the existence of (just) three fermion families as well as the origin of the observed
parity violation of the weak interaction. The purpose of this paper is to study how an
extension of the SM addressing these two issues, while hosting a viable DM candidate.
The minimal left-right symmetric model based on the SU(3)C
for the origin of parity violation in the weak interaction, neutrino mass generation as well
as a framework for dark matter [11{15].
By the same token, models based on the SU(3)C SU(3)L
U(1)N gauge group, for
short 3-3-1, o er plausible explanations for the number of generations and a hospitable
scenario for neutrino mass generation as well as implementing a viable dark sector [16{
20, 20{24]. Hence it is theoretically well motivated to build a model where both groups
are described in a uni ed way.
Indeed, models have been proposed in the context of the SU(
3
)C
SU(
3
)L
SU(
3
)R
gauge group [25{42]. Since they are based on a three copies of the SU(
3
) non-Abelian
group, it has been coined the term trini cation. The motivation for trini cation lies in the
uni ed description of both strong and electroweak interactions using the same non-Abelian
gauge group, while incorporating nice features of both left-right and 3-3-1 gauge groups.
Fully realistic models unifying left-right and 331 electroweak symmetries have, in fact, been
recently proposed using a ipped trini cation scenario with an extra U(
1
)X factor [40, 41].
In this paper we focus on an interesting question, namely, can we build a model
preserving the nice features of the left-right and 3-3-1 symmetries while naturally explaining
the origin of the matter parity and dark matter? We argue that, using the gauge principle
to extend the trini cation framework, there is a compelling and minimal solution
incorporating dark matter and realistic fermion masses. Such a ipped trini cation setup is better
motivated because inherits the good features of both left-right and SU(
3
)L
U(
1
)N
symmetries and, in addition, elegantly addresses the origin of matter parity and dark matter
stability in the context of 3-3-1 type models [43{55], while generating fermion masses with
a minimal scalar sector. Indeed, it su ces to have one triplet ( L), one bitriplet ( ), one
sextet ( R) to generate realistic fermion masses, as opposed to earlier versions where
another bitriplet was necessary [39, 40]. In order to ensure left-right symmetry further copies
of the scalar multiplets are required. Thus, a minimal version of trini cation with exact
left-right symmetry requires one bitriplet ( ), two sextets ( L and
R) and two triplets ( L and R).
The rest of this paper is organized as follows: in section 2, we introduce the model with
the gauge symmetry and particle content, focusing on the particles with unusual B
L
charges. We nd the viable patterns of symmetry breaking and show that W -parity is a
residual gauge symmetry which protects the dark matter stability. In section 3, we identify
the physical elds and the corresponding masses. In section 4, we discuss the dark matter
phenomenology. Finally, we summarize the results and conclude this work in section 5.

Trini cation is a theory of uni ed interactions based on the gauge symmetry SU(
3
)C
SU(
3
)R, the maximal subgroup of E6 [25{27]. When multiplied by an Abelian
group factor, U(
1
)X , we have the ipped trini cation [40, 41],
alternative motivation is that it can be achieved from the minimal left-right symmetric
model by enlarging the left and right weak isospin groups in order to resolve the number
of fermion generations and accommodate dark matter (cf. [39]).
The electric charge operator is generally given by
which re ects the left-right symmetry, where TnL;R (n = 1; 2; 3; : : : ; 8) and X are the
SU(3)L;R and U(1)X generators, respectively. Note that

values dictate the electric charge of the new fermions present in the model.
As usual, the baryon minus lepton number is embedded as Q = T3L + T3R + 12 (B

can be easily shown that all triangle anomalies vanish, since both SU(
3
)L or SU(
3

match the number of fermion generations to be that of fundamental colors, in agreement
with the current observations [58]. This choice of fermion representations is the minimal
for a ipped trini cation [25{27].

L and L have been added to ensure
the left-right symmetry, but they do not play any role in our phenomenology because the
VEV of these elds are neglible hence contributing neither to gauge boson masses nor to
the spontaneous symmetry breaking pattern.1 Therefore, for simplicity hereafter we ignore
the VEVs of L; L, keeping only the VEVs of R; R, denoted omitting the subscript \R".
We now discuss what types of spontaneous symmetry breaking patterns one may have in
our model.

Indeed, 033 transforms under U(

which is invariant if !0 = (m + 1+3k2q ) with k = 0; 1; 2 : : :. Choosing k = 0, the residual
symmetry coincides with WP after spin parity is included and taking m = 3. Lastly, note
that the hypercharge is

Another possible breaking pattern takes place when assuming that the symmetry breaking
of the left-right and SU(
3
)L symmetry occurs at the same scale, i.e. w; w0
. Therefore,
we have only one new physics scale and the gauge symmetry is directly broken down to
that of the SM as,

W -parity are collected in table 1. Notice that the B L charge for the new particles depends on their electric charge, i.e. on the basic electric charge parameter q, with W parity values P

supersymmetry. Generally, assuming that q 6= (2m

Since the W -charged and SM particles are uni ed within the gauge multiplets, W
parity separates them into two classes,
Normal particles with WP = 1: consist on all SM particles plus extra new elds.
Explicitly, the particles belonging to this class are the fermions, a, ea, ua, da, the scalars,

It can be easily shown that W -particles always appear in pairs in interactions, similarly
to superparticles in supersymmetry. Indeed, consider an interaction that includes x P

1
)(6q+1)(x y) = 1 for arbitrary
q which is satis ed only if x = y. Hence, the elds P + and P
are always coupled in pairs.
The lightest W -particle (often called LWP) cannot decay due to the W -parity conservation.
Thus, if the lightest W -particle carries no electrical and color charges, it can be identi ed
as a dark matter candidate.
From table 1, the colorless W -particles have electrical charges

and therefore three dark matter models can be built, corresponding to q = 0; 1.3 The
model q = 0 includes three dark matter candidates, namely, a lepton as the lightest mixture

Before closing this section, it is important to notice that the fundamental eld
carrying W -parity (P +)2, leads to self-interactions among three W - elds, if it transforms
nontrivially under this parity. However, its presence does not alter the results and
conclusions given below. See [39] for a proof.

is introduced
in this minimal framework, coupling the third quark generation to the rst two, there are
no such soft-terms for arbitrary values of the
parameter, since its X-charge is nonzero.
Thus, both the Higgs doublets contained in
would be light as their VEVs are in the weak
scale. In order to avoid light scalars, the triplet
is included in this work instead of in
order to generate viable quark masses and mixings.

Scalar sector
Since W -parity is conserved, only the neutral elds carrying WP = 1 can develop the VEVs
given in (2.12). We expand the elds around their VEVs as
The scalar potential can be written as V = Vmin + Vlinear + Vmass + Vint, where Vmin is
independent of the elds, and all interactions are grouped into Vint. Vlinear contains all the
terms that depend linearly on the elds, and the gauge invariance requires,
1)-charged + Vm2qa-scsharged, which are listed in appendix A.
Vmass consists of the terms that quadratically depend on the
elds, and can be furhter
decomposed as Vmass = VmAass+VmSass+Vmsiansgsly-charged+Vmdaosusbly-charged+Vmq-acshsarged+Vm(qa+ss1)-charged
The rst mass term includes all pseudo-scalars A1; A2; A3; A4; A5. From appendix A,
we see that A1; A5 are massless and can be identi ed to the Goldstone bosons of the
righthanded neutral gauge bosons, ZR; ZR0, respectively. The remaining elds A2; A3; A4 mix,
but their mass matrix produces only one physical pseudo-scalar eld with mass

The VmSass term contains all the mass terms of the scalar elds, S1; S2; S3; S4; S5, as
shown in appendix A. The ve scalars mix through a 5 5 matrix. In general, it is not easy
to nd the eigenstates. However, using the fact that u; v
w0; w; , one can diagonalize the
mass matrix perturbatively. At leading order, this matrix yields one massless scalar eld,
H1 = pu21+u02 (uS2 + u0S3), and a massive scalar eld, H2 = pu21+u02 (u0S2
uS3), with
6w02 + 2 2w2 . The H1 eld obtains a mass at next-to-leading order,
mH1 ' O(u; u0), and is identi ed with the standard model Higgs boson. The remaining
elds, (S1; S4; S5), are heavy and mixed among themselves via a 3

Dark matter
Despite the multitude of evidence for the existence of dark matter in our universe, its nature
remains a mystery and it is one of the most exciting and important open questions in basic
science [2]. In this work, we will investigate the possible dark matter candidates in our
model and discuss the relevant observables, namely relic density and direct detection cross
section. Indirect detection is not very relevant in our model because we will be discussing
multi-TeV scale dark matter, a regime for which indirect dark matter detection cannot
probe the thermal annihilation cross section [59]. In this section we will brie y address the
possibility of scalar and fermion WIMP dark matter. First we note that, in some limiting
cases, it is very similar to the one present in 3-3-1 models [43, 44, 47, 51, 60, 61]. As a result
we opt for a more sketcky presentation here, primarily aimed at establishing the viabiblity
of the present scenario, rather than covering it in full generality. Our main goal in this
section is to illustrate our reasoning concerning the origin of the dark matter stability in
a uni ed framework involving 3-3-1 and left-right symmetries, by simply showing that we
have do viable dark matter candidates.
i.e.
=
and a scalar H10;2.

That said, we have seen that the W -parity symmetry is exact and unbroken by the
VEVs. Thus, the lightest neutral W -particle is stable and can be potentially responsible
for the observed DM relic density. For concreteness we will study the model with q = 0,
p13 . The neutral W -particles include a fermion Na0, a vector gauge boson X10;2,
Suppose that H20 is the lightest W -particle (LWP). It cannot decay and can only be
produced in pairs. The scalar dark matter has only s-wave contribution to the annihilation
cross-section. Hence, the dark matter abundance can be approximated as
where h vreli is the thermally averaged cross-section times relative velocity. As our
candidates are naturally heavy at the new physics scale, the SM Higgs portal is inaccessible.
The main contribution to the cross-section times relative velocity is determined by the
direct annihilation channel H20 H2 !

H1H1 or mediated by new scalars. In the limit
w; w0
u; u0, the interaction between H20 and H1 is approximated as
LH20 H1 =
2u2 + 1(u2 + u02) c2
It can be shown that the new Higgs portal gives a contribution of the same magnitude as
the one above. Therefore in our estimate it is enough to consider only the H20 H2 ! H1H1
0
contact interaction. The average cross-section times relative velocity is

Thus, the dark matter candidate H20 reproduces the correct relic density,
for scalar couplings of O(
1
), and using the fact that 2=(150 GeV)2 ' 1 pb. Furthermore,
the above condition implies
mH2 < 2:66( 1 + 2) TeV < 67 TeV;

dark matter mass may be in the range few TeVs to 67 TeV, depending on its interaction
strength with the SM Higgs boson.
The detection through low energy nuclear recoils constitute a clear signature for dark
matter particles. Since no signal has been observed thus far, stringent limits have been
derived on the dark matter-nucleon scattering cross section [62{70].
In the scalar dark matter scenario, this scattering takes place through the t-channel
exchange of a ZL0 and a heavy scalar H01. This scenario is similar to the one studied in [50],
where it has been shown that one can obey direct detection limits from the XENON1T
experiment with 2 years of data for the dark matter masses above 3 TeV, while reproducing
the correct relic density. We emphasize that our goal here was simply to show that we do
have viable dark matter candidates, rather than investigating in detail their
phenomenology. In fact, the latter is substantially more complex than found in previous 3-3-1 models.
However it su ces to exemplify the viability of our dark matter candidates under certain
assumptions.
Let us now assume that the LWP is one of the neutral fermions denoted by N . The model
predicts that N is a Dirac fermion. The covariant derivative (i.e., gauge interactions)
dictates the dark matter phenomenology. The dark matter might annihilate into SM particles
via the well known Z0 portal with predictive observables [53, 71]. The relic density is
governed by s-channel annihilations into SM fermions, whose interactions are presented in
appendix B. Assuming that the mixing between the gauge boson ZL0 and the other gauge
bosons to be small, which can be achived by taking
w; w0
u; u0, one nds the relic
density to be achieved either by annihilation into fermion pairs, or into ZL0ZL0. The role of
ZR is analogous to ZN in the 3-3-1-1 model [51], which is not discussed further. In gure 1
we show the relic density curve in green.
4.2.2
Direct detection
The dark matter-nucleon scattering is mostly driven by the t-channel exchange of the ZL0
gauge boson. This scattering is very e cient since it is governed simply the couplings with
up and down quarks without much freedom. Taking into account the current and projected
sensitivities on the dark matter-nucleon scattering cross-section, one can conclude that the
dark matter mass must lie in the few TeV scale, as already investigated in [61]. Notice that
this conclusion holds for a Dirac fermion (the possibility of having a Majorana fermion
has already been ruled out by direct detection data [61]). The Majorana dark matter
case leads to an annihilation rate which is helicity suppressed and therefore the range
of parameter space that yields the correct relic density is smaller compared to the Dirac
fermion scenario, only ZL0 masses up to 2:5 TeV can reproduce the correct relic density in
the ZL0 resonance regime.

4.2.3
As for collider bounds, LHC results based on heavy dilepton resonance searches with
13:3 f b 1 of integrated luminosity exclude ZL0 masses below few 3:8 TeV [61].
This is
very important because in light of this bound, the Majorana dark matter case has already
been ruled out, since the entire parameter space which yields the correct relic density in
within the LHC exclusion region.
In light of the importance of this collider bound we took the opportunity to do a
rescalling with the luminosity to obtain current and projected limits on the ZL0 mass in
our model for 36:1 f b 1 and 1000f b 1 keeping the center-of-energy of 13 TeV, using the
collider reach tool introduced in.5 The limits read mZL0 > 4:2 TeV and mZL0 > 5:7 TeV,
respectively. These bounds can be seen as vertical lines in gure 1. We emphasize that other
limits stemming from electroweak precision or low energy physics are subdominant thus left
out of the discussion [72, 73]. In summary, one can conclude that our model can successfully
accommodate a Dirac fermion dark matter in agreement with existing and projected limits
near the ZL0 resonance. Once again, our discussion clearly shows the present of a viable
dark matter candidate. We stress that, in full generality, the phenomenology of our model
is substantially more complex than presented in previous literature. Here we only consider
simple benchmarks, for which a detailed study of the dark matter phenomenology has
nnlo68cl.LHgrid.
already been performed earlier, hence we have not repeated it here. A complete study of
the phenomenological implications of our model lies beyond the scope of this paper and
will be taken up elsewhere. Nevertheless, our results su ce to establish the consistency of
our dark matter candidates.
Finally, let us give a comment on the possibility of vector gauge boson dark matter. In this
case one assumes that the LWP is the gauge boson X10. It can annihilate into SM particles
via following channels,
X10X10 ! W1+W1 ; ZLZL; H1H1;
c; llc; qqc;
where
X10X10
e
; ; , l = e; ; , q = u; d; c; s; t; b. However, the dominant channels are
! W1+W1 ; ZLZL. Our predicted result is similar to the one given in [45]. The
dark matter relic abundance is approximately given as
X1 h2 ' 10 3 mm2X2W1 :
Since the annihilation cross section is large and it is dictated by gauge interactions, the
abundance of this vector dark matter is too small. In the context of thermal dark matter
production, the vector dark matter in our model can contribute to only a tiny fraction of
the dark matter abundance in our universe. A similar conclusion has been found in [43].
One way to circumvent the vector dark matter underabundance is by abdicating
thermal production and tie its abundance to in ation, where the in aton decay or the
gravitational mechanism would generate the correct dark matter abundance [55]. Alternatively,
we mention that vector DM could be just part of the overall cosmological dark matter
within a multicomponent thermal dark matter scenario.

Conclusions
We have proposed a model of ipped trini cation that encompasses the nice features of
left-right and 3-3-1 models, while providing an elegant explanation for the origin of matter
parity and dark matter stability, which follows as a remnant of the gauge symmetry. The
model o ers a natural framework for three types of dark matter particles, which is an
uncommon feature in UV complete models. One can have a Dirac fermion, as well as a
scalar dark matter particle, with masses at the few TeV scale. Both scenarios reproduce the
correct relic density, while satisfying existing limits, in the context of thermal freeze-out.
As for the vector case, thermal production leads to an under-abundant dark matter. We
have also discussed other features of the model such as the symmetry breaking, driven by a
minimal scalar content, but su cient to account for realistic fermion masses. In summary,
we have presented a viable theory of ipped trini cation able to account naturally for the
origin of matter parity and dark matter.
