It has recently been pointed out that the underlying symmetry of dark matter may well be $U(1)_\chi$ (coming from $SO(10) \to SU(5) \times U(1)_\chi$) with the dark parity of any given particle determined by $(-1)^{Q_\chi+2j}$, where $Q_\chi$ is its $U(1)_\chi$ charge and $j$ its spin angular momentum. Armed with this new insight, previous simple models of dark matter are reinterpreted, and a novel idea is proposed that light seesaw dark matter exists in analogy to light neutrinos and is produced by the rare decay of the standard-model Higgs boson.
