abstract
The cosmology of the Twin Higgs requires the breaking of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry, but it is still an open question whether this breaking needs to be explicit. In this paper, we study how the Mirror Twin Higgs could be modified to be compatible with current cosmological constraints without explicit $\mathbb{Z}_2$ breaking. We first present a simple toy model that can realize baryogenesis without explicit $\mathbb{Z}_2$ breaking or reaching temperatures that would lead to domain walls. The model can also either solve the $N_{\text{eff}}$ problem and bring the abundance of mirror atoms to an allowed level or provide the correct dark matter abundance. We then present another simple model that leads to mirror neutron dark matter and thus acceptable dark matter self-interactions. We also include in appendix a series of results on energy exchange between different sectors that might prove useful for other cosmological problems.

Extended Color Twin Higgs
A Twin Higgs model with visible-only SU(4) color breaking predicts new Z', charge-1/6 vectors and charge-1/2 fermions, with reduced tuning, lower ΔNeff, and bosonic twin baryon dark matter.
