abstract

Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in a QCD-like hidden sector is used to generate the Planck mass and the electroweak scale including the heavy right-handed neutrino mass. A real scalar field transmits the energy scale of the hidden sector to the visible sectors, playing besides a role of inflaton in the early Universe while realizing a Higgs-inflation-like model. Our dark matter candidates are hidden pions that raise due to dynamical chiral symmetry breaking. They are produced from the decay of inflaton. Unfortunately, it will be impossible to directly detect them, because they are super heavy ($10^{9\,\sim\,12}$ GeV), and moreover the interaction with the visible sector is extremely suppressed.

  1. Dark matter in scale-invariant gravity with hidden-sector condensation

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A scale-invariant quadratic gravity plus hidden QCD-like sector can generate the Planck and electroweak scales, realize Starobinsky inflation, and produce dark matter from scalaron decay, with candidate masses around ...

  2. Lorentz violating quadratic gravity

    hep-th 2026-03 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    Bumblebee–quadratic gravity needs new Lorentz-violating counterterms at one loop, but the displayed computation has a gauge-parameter inconsistency and the classical Schwarzschild/de Sitter solutions are the robust part.

  3. NLO observables for QCD-like theories and application to pion dark matter

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    NLO chiral perturbation theory for non-degenerate two-flavor real and pseudoreal gauge theories is derived, fitted to Sp(4) lattice data, and applied to pion dark matter self-interactions.
