We discuss the mass splitting between the the top and bottom quarks in a technicolor scenario. The model proposed here contains a left–right electroweak gauge group. An extended technicolor group and mirror fermions are introduced. The top-bottom quark mass splitting turns out to be intimately connected to the breaking of the left–right gauge symmetry. Weak isospin violation occurs within the experimental limits.

Abstract Multi-component dark matter scenarios are studied in the model with U(1)X dark gauge symmetry that is broken into its product subgroup Z2 × Z3 á la Krauss-Wilczek mechanism. In this setup, there exist two types of dark matter fields, X and Y, distinguished by different Z2 × Z3 charges. The real and imaginary parts of the Z2-charged field, XR and XI, get different masses from the U(1)X symmetry breaking. The field Y, which is another dark matter candidate due to the unbroken Z3 symmetry, belongs to the Strongly Interacting Massive Particle (SIMP)-type dark matter. Both XI and XR may contribute to Y’s 3 → 2 annihilation processes, opening a new class of SIMP models with a local dark gauge symmetry. Depending on the mass difference between XI and XR, we have either two-component or three-component dark matter scenarios. In particular two- or three-component SIMP scenarios can be realised not only for small mass difference between X and Y, but also for large mass hierarchy between them, which is a new and unique feature of the present model. We consider both theoretical and experimental constraints, and present four case studies of the multi-component dark matter scenarios.

Using the notions of gauge symmetry and gauge connection on ordinary superspaces, we derive a class of generalized supertranslation algebras in the case of N = 1, D = 2 Euclidean superspace with a U(1) gauge group. This generalizes the ordinary algebra by inclusion of some additional bosonic and fermionic operators which are interpreted as the generators of the U(1) gauge symmetry on superspace. The generalized superalgebra closes only for very particular configurations of the gauge connection superfield. This provides a unified framework for a variety of generalizations of the ordinary superalgebra such as its central extension and its noncommutative deformation found in an earlier work.
