We study a model of neutrino and dark matter within the framework of a minimal extended seesaw. This framework is based on $A_4$ flavor symmetry along with the discrete $Z_4$ symmetry to stabilize the dark matter and construct desired mass matrices for neutrino mass. We use a non-trivial Dirac mass matrix with broken $mu - tau$ symmetry to generate the leptonic mixing. A non-degenerate mass structure for right-handed neutrinos is considered to verify the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe via the mechanism of thermal Leptogenesis. The scalar sector is also studied in great detail for a multi-Higgs doublet scenario, considering the lightest $Z_4$-odd as a viable dark matter candidate. A significant impact on the region of DM parameter space, as well as in the fermionic sector, are found in the presence of extra scalar particles.

We study a model of neutrino and dark matter within the framework of a minimal extended seesaw. This model is based on $A_4$ flavour symmetry along with the discrete $Z_3times Z_4$ symmetry to stabilize the dark matter and construct desired mass matr ices for neutrino mass. Five-zero textures are imposed in the final $4times4$ active-sterile mass matrix, which significantly reduces free parameter in the model. Three right-handed neutrinos were considered, two of them have nearly degenerate masses which help us to achieve baryogenesis via resonant leptogenesis. A singlet fermion (sterile neutrino) with mass $simmathcal{O}$(eV) is also considered, and we are able to put bounds on active-sterile mixing parameters via neutrino oscillation data. Resonant enhancement of lepton asymmetry is studied at TeV scale, where we discuss a few aspects of baryogenesis considering the flavour effects. Possibility of improvement in effective mass from $0 ubetabeta$ in the presence of a single generation of sterile neutrino flavour is also studied within the fermion sector. In the scalar sector, the imaginary component of the complex singlet scalar is behaving as a potential dark matter candidate and simultaneously the real part of the complex scalar is associated with the fermion sector for sterile mass generation. A broad region of dark matter mass is analyzed from various annihilation processes, and the VEV of the complex scalar plays a pivotal role to achieve the observed relic density at the right ballpark.
We study $S_{4}$ flavor symmetric inverse seesaw model which has the possibility of simultaneously addressing neutrino phenomenology, dark matter (DM) and baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU) through leptogenesis. The model is the extension of the standard model by the addition of two right handed neutrinos and three sterile fermions leading to a keV scale sterile neutrino dark matter and two pairs of quasi-Dirac states. The CP violating decay of the lightest quasi- Dirac pair present in the model generates lepton asymmetry which then converts to baryon asymmetry of the universe. Thus this model can provide a simultaneous solution for non zero neutrino mass, dark matter content of the universes and the observed baryon asymmetry. The $S_{4}$ flavor symmetry in this model is augmented by additional $Z_{4}times Z_{3}$ symmetry to constrain the Yukawa Lagrangian. A detailed numerical analysis has been carried out to obtain dark matter mass, DM-active mixing as well as BAU both for normal hierarchy as well as inverted hierarchy. We have tried to correlate the two cosmological observables and found a common parameter space satisfying the DM phenomenology and BAU. The parameter space of the model is further constrained from the latest cosmological bounds on the above mentioned observables.
We investigate an interesting correlation among dark matter phenomenology, neutrino mass generation and GUT baryogenesis, based on the scotogenic model. The model contains additional right-handed neutrinos $N$ and a second Higgs doublet $Phi$, both o f which are odd under an imposed $Z_2$ symmetry. The neutral component of $Phi$, i.e. the lightest of the $Z_2$-odd particles, is the dark matter candidate. Due to a Yukawa coupling involving $Phi$, $N$ and the Standard Model leptons, the lepton asymmetry is converted into the dark matter asymmetry so that a non-vanishing $B-L$ asymmetry can arise from $(B-L)$-conserving GUT baryogenesis, leading to a nonzero baryon asymmetry after the sphalerons decouple. On the other hand, $Phi$ can also generate neutrino masses radiatively. In other words, the existence of $Phi$ as the dark matter candidate resuscitates GUT baryogenesis and realizes neutrino masses.
We explore the possibility of a single generation of $keV$ scale sterile neutrino ($m_S$) as a dark matter candidate within the minimal extended seesaw (MES) framework and its influence in neutrinoless double beta decay ($0 ubetabeta$) study. Three h ierarchical right-handed neutrinos were considered to explain neutrino mass. We also address baryogenesis via the mechanism of thermal leptogenesis considering the decay of the lightest RH neutrino to a lepton and Higgs doublet. A generic model based on $A_4times Z_4times Z_3$ flavor symmetry is constructed to explain both normal and inverted hierarchy mass pattern of neutrinos. Significant results on effective neutrino masses are observed in presence of sterile mass ($m_S$) and active-sterile mixing ($theta_{S}$) in $0 ubetabeta$. Results from $0 ubetabeta$ give stringent upper bounds on the active-sterile mixing matrix element. To establish sterile neutrino as dark matter within this model, we checked decay width and relic abundance of the sterile neutrino, which restricted sterile mass ($m_S$) within some definite bounds. Constrained regions on the CP-phases and Yukawa couplings are obtained from $0 ubetabeta$ and baryogenesis results. Co-relations among these observable are also established and discussed within this framework.
We construct a neutrino mass model based on the flavour symmetry group $A_4times C_4 times C_6 times C_2$ which accommodates a light sterile neutrino in the minimal extended seesaw (MES) scheme. Besides the flavour symmetry, we introduce a $U(1)$ gau ge symmetry in the sterile sector and also impose CP symmetry. The vacuum alignments of the scalar fields in the model spontaneously break these symmetries and lead to the construction of the fermion mass matrices. With the help of the MES formulas, we extract the light neutrino masses and the mixing observables. In the active neutrino sector, we obtain the $text{TM}_2$ mixing pattern with non-zero reactor angle and broken $mu$-$tau$ reflection symmetry. We express all the active and the sterile oscillation observables in terms of only four real model parameters. Using this highly constrained scenario we predict $sin^2 theta_{23} =0.545^{+0.003}_{-0.004}$, $sin delta = -0.911^{+0.006}_{-0.005}$, $|U_{e4}|^2 = 0.029^{+0.009}_{-0.008}$, $|U_{mu4}|^2 = 0.010^{+0.003}_{-0.003}$ and $|U_{tau4}|^2 = 0.006^{+0.002}_{-0.002}$ which are consistent with the current data.
