abstract
We study the possibility of generating dark matter (DM) and baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) simultaneously in an asymmetric DM framework, which also alleviates the small-scale structure issues of cold DM. While the thermal relic of such self-interacting DM remains under-abundant due to efficient annihilation into light mediators, a nonzero asymmetry in the dark sector can lead to the survival of the required DM in the Universe. The existence of a light mediator leads to the required self-interactions of DM at small scales while keeping DM properties similar to cold DM at large scales. It also ensures that the symmetric DM component annihilates away, leaving the asymmetric part in the spirit of cogenesis. The particle physics implementation is done in canonical seesaw models of light neutrino mass, connecting it to the origin of DM and BAU. In particular, we consider type-I and type-III seesaw origin of neutrino mass for simplicity and minimality of the field content. We show that the desired self-interactions and relic of DM together with BAU while satisfying relevant constraints lead to strict limits on DM mass $\mathcal{O}({\rm GeV}) \lesssim M_{\rm DM} \lesssim460 $ GeV. In spite of being a high-scale seesaw, the models remain verifiable in different experiments, including direct and indirect DM searches as well as colliders.

DW-genesis: baryon number from domain wall network collapse
Collapsing axionic domain walls can produce the baryon asymmetry via spontaneous baryogenesis, with a maximum yield set by the annihilation temperature, but minimal post-inflationary realisations suffer a suppression ...

Asymmetric dark matter from semi-annihilation: unitarity constraints and long-lived final states
A published asymmetric dark matter mechanism from semi-annihilation is shown to violate unitarity; a corrected two-species model with long-lived final states can produce the observed relic density.
