It is shown that in extensions of the standard model of quarks and leptons where additive lepton number $L$ is broken by two units, so that $Z_2$ lepton parity, i.e. $(-1)^L$ which is either even or odd, remains exactly conserved, there is the possibility of stable dark matter without additional symmetry. This applies to many existing simple models of Majorana neutrino mass with dark matter, including some radiative models. Several well-known examples are discussed. This new insight leads to the construction of a radiative Type II seesaw model of neutrino mass with dark matter where the dominant decay of the doubly charged Higgs boson $\xi^{++}$ is into $W^+W^+$ instead of the expected $l_i^+ l_j^+$ lepton pairs for the well-known tree-level model.

  1. Coscattering Dark Matter in the Inverse Scotogenic Models

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0

    In the inverse scotogenic model, nearly degenerate Z2-odd scalars φ1 and φ2 produce the observed dark matter relic density via coscattering through either the Higgs portal or Yukawa portal, with long-lived φ2 decays g...

  2. Cosmological Probes of Lepton Parity Freeze-in Dark Matter: $\Delta N_{\rm eff}$ & Gravitational Waves

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Lepton parity stabilizes a Majorana fermion as freeze-in dark matter produced via right-handed neutrino or Higgs decays, yielding detectable gravitational waves or ΔN_eff depending on scalar couplings.

  3. Lepton parity dark matter and naturally unstable domain walls

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Lepton parity stabilizes a Majorana fermion dark matter candidate while an accidental Z2 symmetry in the scalar potential creates unstable domain walls whose decay produces observable gravitational waves.
