Common origin of radiative neutrino mass, dark matter and leptogenesis in scotogenic Georgi-Machacek model
Abstract
We explore the phenomenology of the Georgi-Machacek model extended with two Higgs doublets and vector fermion doublets invariant under . The symmetry is broken spontaneously while the imposed symmetry forbids triplet fields to generate any vacuum expectation value and leading to an inert dark sector providing a viable candidate for dark matter and generate neutrino mass radiatively. Another interesting feature of the model is leptogenesis arising from decay of vector-like fermions. A detailed study of the model is pursued in search for available parameter space consistent with the theoretical and experimental observations for dark matter, neutrino physics, flavor physics, matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe.
.1 Introduction
Evidences from cosmology and astrophysics claim that about a quarter of the Universe is made up of dark matter Aghanim:2018eyx . However, the nature of dark matter remains unknown as the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics fails to provide a viable dark matter (DM) candidate. Despite being celebrated as the most successful theory after the discovery of Higgs boson at collider experiments, various theories beyond the SM are proposed in order to explain the dark matter. Simple extensions of SM with DM candidate are probed considering the stability of dark matter is protected by an additional discrete symmetry (such as or etc.). Apart from the dark matter, the origin of neutrino mass also remains unexplained by the SM of particle physics despite various neutrinos oscillation experiments has confirmed that neutrinos are massive PhysRevD.98.030001 . This discrepancy in SM also calls for theories beyond the SM. Neutrino masses can indeed be generated by various see-saw mechanisms Minkowski:1977sc ; GellMann:1980vs ; Mohapatra:1979ia ; Schechter:1980gr ; Mohapatra:1980yp ; Wetterich:1981bx ; Schechter:1981cv ; Hambye:2003ka ; Antusch:2007km ; Foot:1988aq ; Chen:2009vx at tree level with new heavy fermions and scalar fields, which can also generate matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe through the leptogenesis mechanism Fukugita:1986hr ; Buchmuller:2004nz ; Buchmuller:2005eh ; Davidson:2008bu ; An:2009vq . There are alternative ways to generate neutrino masses and matter-antimatter asymmetry where neutrino mass is generated radiatively via loop involving right-handed neutrinos Ma:2006km ; Kashiwase:2012xd ; Kashiwase:2013uy ; Hugle:2018qbw or new fields Lu:2016dbc ; Cao:2017xgk ; Zhou:2017lrt ; Gu:2018kmv ; DuttaBanik:2020vfr ; Lineros:2020eit , which can also provide viable dark matter candidates.
Among various extensions beyond the SM, two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) is one of the most simplest extensions where an additional scalar doublet similar to SM Higgs doublet is added HABER1979493 ; HALL1981397 ; PhysRevD.41.3421 ; Branco:2011iw . In conventional models of 2HDM, the newly added doublet is assumed to be odd under a symmetry which is broken spontaneously after electroweak symmetry is broken. After spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) doublet scalar fields obtain vacuum expectation values (VEVs) and mix up, resulting new physical Higgs particles. In the present work, we explore the phenomenology of a 2HDM extended Georgi-Machacek (GM) model Georgi:1985nv ; Chanowitz:1985ug ; Gunion:1989ci . In the GM model, new scalar triplets with hypercharge and are added to the SM scalar sector in a way that the electroweak -parameter remains unaffected by simply assuming both the triplets develop same VEVs after spontaneous breaking of symmetry Hartling:2014zca ; Chiang:2015kka ; Chiang:2015rva ; Chiang:2018cgb ; Das:2018vkv . The hypercharge triplet in GM model also produces tiny neutrino masses at tree level. We propose an extension of the GM model with an additional scalar doublet and new vector-like fermions charged under symmetry. After spontaneous breaking of the symmetry, both the doublet scalar fields develop VEVs resembling the usual 2HDM (which breaks symmetry of the model) while the triplet fields and vector fermion doublets remain protected by the imposed which constitutes the dark sector. The neutrino mass generation at tree level via triplet field is prohibited. However, new vector-like fermions provide a window to radiatively generate neutrino mass in one-loop level. In addition, the lightest neutral scalar particle arising from mixing between triplet fields being charged under the remnant , is stable and serves as a dark matter candidate. Finally, CP violating decays of heavy vector fermions can explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe via leptogenesis. With new scalar and fermion fields the modified GM model is referred as scotogenic Georgi-Machacek (sGM) model.
The paper is organized as follows, we firstly describe the sGM model in detail. The phenomenologies of the model are then performed with considering various theoretical and experimental limits. Study of leptogenesis within the model is presented in the next section. Finally we conclude the paper.

One interesting aspect of the choice is that it forbids interaction terms and in Eq. (5) and the soft breaking term in 2HDM potential (Eq. (6)). However new interactions in Eq. (5) are allowed with coupling which play significant role in generation of neutrino mass, as we will show later. The symmetry is broken spontaneously as the doublet fields , acquires VEVs. However, triplet fields in the potential expression of Eq. (5) preserves the symmetry ( and following Table 1) and does not acquire any VEV. Therefore, this remnant symmetry provides feasible candidates for dark matter arising from the mixing between neutral components of triplet fields in the model. After spontaneous breaking of symmetry we get new physical scalar in visible 2HDM sector and a dark sector originating from triplet scalars. The neutral scalar particles and singly charged particles of the triplets and mix with each other and provides two neutral physical scalars and two physical charged scalars in dark sector. However, since the VEV of field is zero due to the residual symmetry , the neutrino mass is vanishing at tree level in the model. This issue can be resolved by the newly added vector-like fermions which also respects the unbroken symmetry.
Gauge invariant Yukawa interactions of the fermions with triplet scalars in the present framework are given as

We will later show that these new interaction terms provide necessary ingredients to radiatively generate neutrino masses in one-loop.

Vacuum stability
We adopt the criteria of copositivity of symmetric matrices to get the conditions of vacuum stability Chakrabortty:2013mha . Only the quartic terms in the potential should be considered, since these terms dominate at large field value. It is to be noted that vacuum stability conditions don’t give any constraints to couplings and . This is because we can make these couplings positive by applying a phase rotation of a field or field redefinition. We parameterize the fields as,

In addition, scalar and fermion couplings must also remain within the perturbative limit for which following conditions must be satisfied

Neutrino mass
The neutrino masses are generated via one-loop diagram as shown in Fig. 1. The Yukawa interaction terms in Eq. (7) and scalar terms with and appearing in Eq. (5) are responsible for generation of light neutrino mass. The symmetry in the model assures that two different scalar doublets are necessary in order to generate tiny neutrino mass in one-loop.
Neutrino mass in the present model can further be realized as self-energy corrections. However, there will be contributions from two different diagrams involving neutral scalars and charged scalars as shown in Fig. 2. The expression of neutrino mass is given as

It is to be noted that, in the present scenario if the mixing angle between neutral physical scalar , then mixing angle between charged scalars () also becomes zero. The conditions for which those mixing angles become zero are

We consider vector fermions to be much heavier than scalar particles , and further assume , . With the above simplified choice, following Eqs. (14), (17) and Eq. (20) we can rewrite the neutrino mass matrix elements as

Theory and Phenomenology of the sGM model
Electroweak precision test observables
We consider the generalised form of GM model (Eq. (5)) since it is well known that custodial symmetry in GM model is broken at the one-loop level by hypercharge interactions Gunion:1990dt ; Blasi:2017xmc ; Keeshan:2018ypw . After symmetries of the scalar potential breaks of spontaneously, symmetry is partially conserved by triplet scalars and both and triplet fields remain inert. At this stage (after SSB), Higgs doublets and new inert triplets doesn’t have any impact on parameter and is satisfied at tree level. However, one-loop corrections parameter to parameter must be taken into account which can also be obtained in terms of due to new scalars and fermions. Firstly, let us consider the contribution from new fermions within the model. For a single generation of vector doublet fermions, there will be new contribution to parameter which is given as Cynolter:2008ea

(33) |
In the present work we include three vector fermion doublets. However, since vector fermions do not mix with each other and mass of charged and neutral fermions are degenerate (i.e.; for a single generation), the contribution .
Let us now discuss how electroweak precision observables modify in presence of new scalars. In case of 2HDM within alignment limit , contribution to parameter reads as He:2001tp ; Grimus:2007if ; Grimus:2008nb

where
(35) |
From Eq. (34), it can be concluded that vanishes for or . Therefore, if one considers above conditions, new contribution to parameter will arise from triplet scalar fields and only. It is to noted that, in the present formalism there exists mixing between neutral and charged components of the triplet fields, which must be taken into account to calculate . Considering the effects of mixing, additional contribution to parameter is

In the above Eq. (36), and where . Using the above expression, bounds on the mixing angles or mass splittings between scalar particles can be obtained in the present model. We use the value PhysRevD.98.030001 to constrain the model parameter space.
Collider bounds
In this section, we briefly discuss collider constraints on different visible and dark sector particles of the model. LEP excludes a new charged scalar of mass less than 80 GeV from charged scalar decay into and final state Abbiendi:2013hk . Similarly bound on charged fermion mass is 101.2 GeV Abdallah:2003xe ; Achard:2001qw from the decay of charged fermion into final state. Let us now consider the bounds obtained from LHC. In the present model we have singly charged scalars and one doubly charged scalar in dark sector. These particles can contribute to the Higgs to diphoton decay process. The decay rate for the process is given as

Using the latest and future constraints from LHC on the signal strength Aaboud:2018xdt ; Sirunyan:2018koj , masses of charged particles in our model can be constrained. It is to be noted that for heavier masses of charged inert scalar particles with mass around TeV, one can safely work with 2HDM constraints. In the present framework, we consider only one Higgs doublet couples to the SM sector which resembles the standard type-I 2HDM. For type-I 2HDM, Higgs signal strength does not provide any limit on with alignment limit . However, deviation from the alignment limit puts stringent bound on for type-I 2HDM Arcadi:2018pfo ; Khachatryan:2014jba ; Aad:2015gba ; Bauer:2017fsw . Apart from Higgs signal strength measurement, the most stringent bound on charged scalar mass comes from flavor physics when the decay is taken into account Amhis:2016xyh ; Arbey:2017gmh . It is found that for all types of 2HDM including type-I 2HDM, inclusive decay excludes charged Higgs mass below 650 GeV for Arbey:2017gmh . Therefore, in the present framework, with the alignment limit , we conservatively work with following conditions

Dark Matter
As mentioned before, the lightest neutral scalar or can serve the role of dark matter candidate in the model. We implement the model in LanHEP-3.3.2 Semenov:2008jy and calculate relic density and direct detection of the dark matter using micrOMEGAs-4.3.5 Belanger:2001fz . We use the dark matter relic density observed by PLANCK Aghanim:2018eyx and constrain the model with the dark matter-nucleon scattering cross-section limits from direct search experiments XENON1T Aprile:2018dbl ; Aprile:2015uzo and PandaX-II Tan:2016zwf ; Cui:2017nnn .

Apart from 2HDM parameters (as in Eq. (45)), there are dark sector parameters in the model. We consider the following parameters to be independent parameters which constrain the dark sector in the present formalism which are given as
(46) |
With the above choice of parameters the mixing between charged scalar particles () becomes a dependent parameter. Masses of other scalars in dark sector and are also obtained using these free parameters. Moreover, we consider the case where the mixing between the neutral scalar particles satisfy the following condition . For simplicity we also work with the following condition , , and . With the above mentioned choice of scalar mixing, we consider a parameter space depending on the choice of and in order to obtain a viable DM candidate in our model. We tabulate how the choice of couplings determines whether DM is neutral or charged as shown in Table 2. It is to be noted that our conclusion in Table 2 is independent of the choice of couplings and . Therefore, in the present work, we consider only six relevant parameters to explore DM phenomenology, are given as
(47) |
As observed in Table 2, we exclude the case with and values. Therefore, we are left with two cases, I) neutral DM candidate is represented by and II) DM is represented by . We will discuss both the cases separately in details in this section.


Before we discuss the DM phenomenology, we first consider the model parameter space in agreement with parameter results. We consider a set of parameters following Table 2, a) with varying in the range of and b) with varying in (). The above choice of parameters corresponds to first (third) row of Table 2 resulting as the DM candidate. Since parameter depends on the mass splitting, we observe that it is independent of the choice of sign of couplings mentioned in Table 2 and thus we ignore the second row of Table 2. We further consider two different values of neutral scalar mixing angle and vary mass within the range 200 GeV to 2 TeV. With the above choice of parameters, one can easily derive masses of other dark sector particles and also the mixing angle between charged particles. Using the bound on parameter, in Fig. 3(a) we plot the allowed range of mass splitting against derived following Eq. (36) for . From Fig. 3(a), it can be easily stated that, larger values of mass splitting are allowed for smaller values of mixing angle. It is to be noted that for small mixing , triplet scalars are almost decoupled from each other which allows larger mass splitting values compared to the case with larger mixing . One can also notice that as the mass is increased, mass difference of charged particles reduces and tends to become degenerate. Decrease in mass splitting enhances the possibility of co-annihilation of dark matter particles which can contribute to dark matter relic abundance. In, Fig. 3(b), we calculate the allowed range of parameter space for the same set of mixing angles and couplings for . We observe that larger values of constraints the model parameter space significantly allowing lesser values of mass splitting in agreement with the bound on parameter. This is intriguing because of the fact that mass splitting between particles depends on both and vacuum expectation values.
Case:I, dark matter
In this section we study DM phenomenology for the case when DM is represented by candidate and resembles the candidate of triplet. We work with the conditions set by Table 2 for this purpose.

In Fig. 4(b) the variation of dark matter direct detection against DM mass is depicted for same set of parameters and compares with the experimental bounds on DM-nucleon scattering cross-section with PandaX-II and XENON1T. It can be observed that changes in the mixing angle does not affect DM relic density very much and a 1.2 TeV dark matter candidate is in agreement with the relic density bound from PLANCK (red horizontal lines in left panel of Fig. 4). However, with increase in the mixing angle, the DM direct detection cross-section tends to decreases considerably. Therefore, large mixing angle is favorable for a viable DM candidate in the present framework.

Fig. 6 shows the variation of DM relic density against DM mass for three different values of for and . Other parameter are kept fixed at same values as considered in Fig. 4. In Fig. 6 we observe that as changes from -0.05 to -0.5, relic density plots changes significantly which allows a range of dark matter mass from 1.2 TeV to 1.7 TeV that is in agreement with PLANCK results. Increase in value results in increase in mass splitting between charged and neutral eigenstates and . With increased mass splitting, contribution from co-annihilation channels decreases which reduces DM relic density for a given mass of DM as observed in Fig. 6. However, no significant change in DM direct detection is observed for changes in coupling .

Finally, we consider changes of couplings and , and study how these couplings affect dark matter phenomenology. It is found from the study that couplings and does not alter DM relic density significantly but can affect the DM direct detection cross-sections. This is obvious since, these couplings allow Higgs portal interactions with SM sector particles. However, since gauge interactions and co-annihilation channels dominate over Higgs portal interactions, these couplings are less sensitive to DM relic density. For the purpose of demonstration, we consider , and couplings etc. used in previous set of plots shown in Fig. 4-5. From Fig. 7, we observe that changing value of from , does not affect direct detection results significantly. However, for the case an increase in DM direct detection is observed when compared with the case . Therefore, we can conclude that enhances DM-nucleon scattering cross-section in the present framework.
It is to be noted that for DM candidate () there exists another region of parameter space with positive values of as mentioned earlier in Table 2. We have found that the results for the region with positive also follow similar behaviour as obtained in Figs. 4-7. Hence, DM phenomenology for the case with are not shown in this work.

We observe that, even DM candidate is -like, with different values, DM mass versus relic density plots does not undergo any significant changes and 1.2 TeV dark matter satisfies DM relic density. However, significant changes in DM mass versus DM-nucleon scattering cross-section plot can be observed with changes in values as depicted in Fig. 8(b). It is clearly shown that with increasing , the DM direct detection cross-section gains large enhancement. This is quite different when compared with the case of DM case presented in Fig. 4(b).

In Fig. 10, we repeat our study following Fig. 6 by varying from 0.05 to 0.5 for and keeping the rest of the parameters unchanged as considered in Fig. 8. Similar to the case of dark matter in Fig. 6, here we also observe large changes in DM relic density which predicts that DM can have mass around 1.2 TeV to 1.6 TeV. This can be explained by the rise in mass splitting between dark sector particles which causes reduction in DM annihilation cross-section happening from DM co-annihilation. Note that, for different values of , DM direct detection cross-section remains unchanged similar to the case of dark matter.

Similar to the study of dark matter phenomenology performed in Fig. 7, we investigate the effects of and in Fig. 11 on DM-nucleon scattering cross-section. As we have mentioned before, due to the effects of gauge annihilations and co-annihilation of dark matter candidate, these couplings are not significant to DM relic abundance. Looking into Fig. 11, we conclude that dark matter direct detection results remains almost unaffected with change in sign of from positive to negative. However, for the case , there is significant enhancement in DM direct detection cross-section when compared with the case , which can be probed by next generation DM direct search experiments and constrain the available model parameter space.

It is to be noted that apart from the region of parameter space considered in Table 2, there also exists another region of available parameter space as given in Table 3 for . However, the DM phenomenology does not alter significantly for negative values of neutral scalar mixing and results are similar to cases discussed in Figs. 4-10. Therefore, we will not discuss the combination of parameter space mentioned in Table 3.
Therefore, DM phenomenology of 2HDM extension of inert GM model suggests that a viable TeV scale dark matter can achieved within the framework. Since the masses of dark sector particles are around few TeVs, their contribution to the process is negligible compared to the contribution from and fermion (top and bottom quarks) and thus can be ignored safely. In other words, conditions described in Eq. (45) for type-I 2HDM remains unaltered.
Lepton flavor violation

In Fig. 13(a), we present the variation of vector fermion mass with Yukawa couplings imposing the condition for neutrino Yukawa couplings. The mass scale of light active neutrino mass is derived using Eq. (29) for and with assuming a hierarchical structure of vector fermion mass . We further consider mass of different inert scalar TeV, following results from Fig. 6 and Fig. 10, consistent with relic density, direct detection, parameter and collider constraints on dark matter. From Fig. 13(a), we notice that for Yukawa coupling ranging from , mass of vector fermion varies within the range GeV. Using the allowed range of and Yukawa coupling values, we plot the corresponding decay branching ratio against , as shown in Fig. 13(b). It is clearly observed that within the specific range of , decay branching ratio is negligible compared to the experimental limit TheMEG:2016wtm . Therefore, lepton flavor violation do not impose any stringent limit in the present framework.
Leptogenesis in sGM model
Apart from the generation of one-loop neutrino mass and providing a feasible candidate for dark matter, the scotogenic GM model can also generate lepton asymmetry which can explain baryon asymmetry in the Universe (BAU). In the present model, heavy vector-like fermions can decay into leptons and triplets. A net asymmetry in lepton number can be generated from the CP violating decay of heavy vector-like fermions.
The net amount of asymmetry generated from CP violating decay of VLF’s coming from its decay into leptons with two different scalar triplets are expressed as

We now investigate the possibility whether the present model can generate the required BAU. In order to do so, we first consider Yukawa couplings and mass of vector-like fermions that will provide sub-eV light neutrino mass. For this purpose, we use the allowed and Yukawa coupling parameter space derived in Fig. 13(a) for neutrino mass scale eV. Moreover, the Boltzmann equations for lepton asymmetry used are valid only when the condition for narrow width approximation in Eq. (62) is respected. It is found that the washout and transfer of asymmetry becomes significant for Falkowski:2011xh . To circumvent this issue, we further restrict the allowed vs parameter space in Fig. 13(a) with the condition . In Fig. 14(a), we present the variation of vector fermion mass against the narrow width approximation parameter using the neutrino mass constraints from Fig. 13(a). The upper limit for narrow width approximation is represented by the red horizontal line shown in Fig. 14(a). With the given range of neutrino mass scale eV, Fig. 14(a) provides an upper limit on vector fermion mass for which narrow width approximation and the Boltzmann equations (Eqs. (58)-(59)) for lepton asymmetry remains valid.


Using the allowed range of values obtained from Fig. 14(a) and Yukawa coupling from Fig. 13(a), we solve Boltzmann equations Eqs. (57)-(59) and evaluate the amount of lepton asymmetry in the present formalism. As to obtain the limits in Fig. 13(a) and Fig. 14(a), taking the condition we get and . Therefore, for , lepton asymmetry generated from Eqs. (58)-(59) will be equal, i.e.; . In Fig. 14(b), we plot the total lepton asymmetry versus using the available parameter space obtained for aforementioned values. Horizontal red lines in Fig. 14(b) exhibit the value required to generate observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe. For demonstrative purpose, in Table 4, we tabulate lepton asymmetry for few sets of benchmark parameters obtained from the solutions of Boltzmann equations for leptogenesis. We observe that for benchmark set-I, yield of lepton asymmetry is above the required amount of matter-antimatter asymmetry. On the other hand, for benchmark set-II with eV, net lepton asymmetry successfully generates observed baryon abundance. However, set-III result in Table 4 suggests that yield fails to explain baryon asymmetry in the Universe.
It is worth mentioning that solution to Boltzmann equations in this work is based on the assumption that the Universe is radiation dominated at the era of leptogenesis. However, this situation can alter if one considers a modified thermal history of Universe DEramo:2017gpl . Recent studies Dutta:2018zkg ; Chen:2019etb ; Mahanta:2019sfo ; Konar:2020vuu reveal that non-standard cosmological effects (such as a new scalar field active near the temperature ) on leptogenesis can reduce the effects of washout significantly and enhance the yield of by one or two order depending on the new parameters. We expect similar changes in lepton asymmetry if non-standard cosmological effects are taken into account. In such scenarios, benchmark set-III of Table 4 can also explain matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. Therefore, non-standard leptogenesis scenarios can relax constraints and broaden the available model parameter space considered in the model. However at lower temperature TeV, the non-standard effect is completely washed out and Universe becomes radiation dominated. Therefore, thermal freeze-out of dark matter remains unaffected and hence dark matter phenomenology discussed in the work remains unharmed.
Conclusions
In this work we present a study of common origin of neutrino mass, dark matter and leptogenesis by extending Georgi-Machacek model with two Higgs doublet and new vector fermions. The composition of Georgi-Machacek model includes two additional triplet scalar with different hypercharge along with the SM Higgs doublet. Although the GM model preserves custodial symmetry and can generate neutrino mass in tree level, the model cannot account for a stable dark matter candidate. We consider a scalar potential invariant under . After spontaneous breaking of symmetry, symmetry of the potential remains conserved by triplet fields and vector fermions. The symmetry in the potential provides necessary quartic interactions that generate neutrino mass at one-loop upon mixing of neutral and charged scalar of and triplet. Thus a residual symmetry ensures the stability of neutral scalar originating from the mixing of scalar triplets which serves the purpose of dark matter resulting a scotogenic Georgi-Machacek (sGM )model. Moreover, the sGM model also exhibits feature of leptogenesis, capable of generating matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe from decaying vector fermions.
We put constraints on the model parameter space from various theoretical and experimental observations, such as vacuum stability, dark matter relic abundance, dark matter direct detection cross-section. Detailed study of dark matter phenomenology reveals that the model predicts a TeV scale dark matter candidate. In the present model, matter-antimatter asymmetry originates from CP violating decay of vector-like fermions. Using the limits from light neutrino mass, we found that massive vector fermions around GeV can produce the experimentally observed baryon abundance. We have also observed that lepton flavor violation do not impose any significant constraint in the model parameter space. Therefore, a simple extension of Georgi-Machacek model with two Higgs doublet and heavy vector-like fermions accompanied by can provide answers to the puzzles of dark matter, matter-antimatter asymmetry in a single framework with radiative generation of neutrino mass.
