In general, though, DM may be stabilized by any $Z_N$ with $N \\ge 2$. We consider the way $Z_N$ is a subgroup of the internal-symmetry group $G$ of a model; we entertain the possibility that $Z_N$ is the center of $G$, yet $G$ is not of the form $Z_N \\times G^\\prime$, where $G^\\prime$ is a group smaller (i.e. of lower order) than $G$. We examine all the discrete groups of order smaller than 2001 and we find that many of them cannot be written as the direct product of a cyclic group and some other group, yet they have a non-trivial center that might be used in Model Building to stabilize DM.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.12133v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.12133v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"the-centers-of-discrete-groups-as-stabilizers","repo_url":"https://github.com/jurciukonis/gap-group-search","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
