Dark matter and dark gauge fields

TL;DR

This paper explores the theoretical development of dark matter fields as local versions of fermionic quantum fields, proposing a potential new symmetry underlying particle physics.

Contribution

It introduces local dark matter fermionic fields and suggests a novel mass dimension transmuting symmetry as a foundation for a new standard model.

Findings

First results on two local dark matter fermionic fields

Potential link between mass dimension transmutation and new physics

Implications for extending the standard model

Abstract

Following the unexpected theoretical discovery of a mass dimension one fermionic quantum field of spin one half, we now present first results on two _local_ versions. The Dirac and Majorana fields of the standard model of particle physics are supplemented by their natural counterparts in the dark matter sector. The possibility that a mass dimension transmuting symmetry may underlie a new standard model of particle physics is briefly suggested.
