Parafermionic dark matter

Abstract: To discuss the possible contribution of parafermions to the dark matter abundance, we extend the Boltzmann equation for fermionic dark matter to include parafermions. Parafermions can accommodate r particles per quantum state ð2 ≤ r < ∞Þ, in which the parafermion of order r ¼ 1 is identical to the ordinary fermion. It is found that the parafermionic dark matter can be more abundant than the fermionic dark matter in the present Universe.

“…The G 1 pattern is excluded from observations of the neutrino oscillation (best-fit values), dark matter relic abundance and branching ratio of µ → eγ in the parameter space in Eq. (50). If we expand the model parameter space and/or we allow 3σ data of neutrino oscillation experiment instead of best-fit values, some points in G 1 pattern might become consistent with observations.…”
