We propose a model for neutrino masses that simultaneously results in a new dark matter candidate, the right-handed neutrino. We derive the dark matter abundance in this model, show how the hierarchy of neutrino masses is obtained, and verify that the model is compatible with existing experimental results. The toy model provides a potentially economical method of unifying two seemingly separate puzzles in contemporary particle physics and cosmology.
The large neutrino mixing angles have generated interest in finite subgroups of SU(3), as clues towards understanding the flavor structure of the standard model. In this work, we study the mathematical structure of the simplest non-Abelian subgroup, Δ(3n2). Using simple mathematical techniques, we derive its conjugacy classes and character table, and build its irreducible representations, their Kronecker products, and its invariants.
