A framework unifies dark matter stability and proton decay via residual Z4 symmetry from U(1)B+L breaking, with one-loop proton decay mediated by TeV-scale dark sector particles whose masses correlate with proton lifetime.

Models with Peccei-Quinn symmetry and vector-like quarks realize one-loop proton decay through the operator u_R u_R d_R e_R while preserving a residual Z2 that forbids tree-level decay, yielding testable axion-photon couplings and an axion-accompanied decay mode.

One-loop proton decay from Peccei-Quinn symmetry
