We revisit the number-theory dark matter scenario where one of the light chiral fermions required by the anomaly cancellation conditions of U(1)_{B-L} explains dark matter. Focusing on some of the integer B-L charge assignments, we explore a new region of the parameter space where there appear two light fermions and the heavier one becomes a dark matter of mass O(10)keV or O(10)MeV. The dark matter radiatively decays into neutrino and photon, which can explain the tantalizing hint of the 3.55keV X-ray line excess. Interestingly, the other light fermion can erase the AdS vacuum around the neutrino mass scale in a compactification of the standard model to 3D. This will make the standard model consistent with the AdS-WGC statement that stable non-supersymmetric AdS vacua should be absent.

  1. Arithmetic Symmetry in Ideal Prouhet-Tarry-Escott Solutions

    math.NT 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Symmetric ideal degree-3 PTE solutions are asymptotically counted as (4 log 2 / 3 π²) H³ log H + O(H³) due to the second moment of the sum-of-two-squares representation function.

    astro-ph.HE 2019-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 190 kilosecond NuSTAR search at high Galactic latitude finds no sterile-neutrino dark matter decay line and improves the leading upper limit by a factor of about two for 10-12 keV masses.
