| Abstract [eng] |
The most usual option to stabilize dark matter (DM) is a Z2 symmetry. In general, though, DM may be stabilized by any ZN with N ≥ 2. We consider the way that ZN is a subgroup of the internal-symmetry group G of a model; we entertain the possibility that ZN is the center of G, yet G is not of the form ZN×G′, where G′ is a group smaller (i.e., of lower order) than G. We examine all the discrete groups of order smaller than 2001 and we find that many of them cannot be written as the direct product of a cyclic group and some other group, yet they have a non-trivial center that might be used in model building to stabilize DM. |
