In a Z4 fermion-scalar dark matter model, strong first-order electroweak phase transitions and gravitational wave signals occur only in the thermal two-component regime with Mψ < MS < 2Mψ or the decay-driven WIMP-FIMP regime with MS > 2Mψ after dark matter constraints.

abstract
We analyze one-loop vacuum stability, perturbativity, and phenomenological constraints on a complex singlet extension of the Standard Model (SM) scalar sector containing a scalar dark matter candidate. We study vacuum stability considerations using a gauge-invariant approach and compare with the conventional gauge-dependent procedure. We show that, if new physics exists at the TeV scale, the vacuum stability analysis and experimental constraints from the dark matter sector, electroweak precision data, and LEP allow both a Higgs-like scalar in the mass range allowed by the latest results from CMS and ATLAS and a lighter singlet-like scalar with weak couplings to SM particles. If instead no new physics appears until higher energy scales, there may be significant tension between the vacuum stability analysis and phenomenological constraints (in particular electroweak precision data) to the extent that the complex singlet extension with light Higgs and singlet masses would be ruled out. We comment on the possible implications of a scalar with ~125 GeV mass and future ATLAS invisible decay searches.

Hybrid string-bounded domain wall networks from sequential U(1)_F and Z2 symmetry breaking generate a GW spectrum with a unique low-frequency slope that future detectors can observe and an MLP surrogate can characterize for fast SNR inference.
In a complex singlet model with dimension-five Yukawa couplings, current electron EDM bounds already restrict part of the parameter space where gravitational waves from CP domain wall collapse would be detectable.

Strong First-Order Electroweak Phase Transition and Gravitational Waves in a $\mathbb{Z}_4$ Fermion-Scalar Dark Matter Model
In a Z4 fermion-scalar dark matter model, strong first-order electroweak phase transitions and gravitational wave signals occur only in the thermal two-component regime with Mψ < MS < 2Mψ or the decay-driven WIMP-FIMP regime with MS > 2Mψ after dark matter constraints.
