Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter and Leptogenesis in Left-Right Symmetric Theories

Abstract

Left-Right symmetric theories solve the strong CP problem and explain the small Higgs quartic coupling at high energy scales via the Higgs Parity mechanism, which forces the Higgs quartic coupling to vanish at the Left-Right symmetry breaking scale. They also predict three right-handed neutrinos; one may be stable and provide dark matter, and another may decay and explain the baryon asymmetry of the universe through leptogenesis. For the dark matter abundance to arise from freeze-out, the required range of the Left-Right symmetry breaking scale is $10^{10}$-$10^{13}$ GeV, in remarkable agreement with the energy scale at which the Higgs quartic coupling vanishes. The allowed parameter space can be probed by the warmness of dark matter, precise measurements of the top quark mass and QCD coupling constant by future colliders and lattice computations, and measurement of the neutrino mass hierarchy.
