Gravitational Wave Signals of Pseudo-Goldstone Dark Matter in the $\mathbb{Z}_{3}$ Complex Singlet Model

Abstract: We study pseudo-Goldstone dark matter in the $\mathbb{Z}{3}$ complex scalar singlet model. Because the direct detection spin-independent cross section is suppressed, such dark matter is allowed in a large mass range. Unlike in the original model stabilized by a parity, due to the cubic coupling of the singlet the $\mathbb{Z}{3}$ model can accommodate first-order phase transitions that give rise to a stochastic gravitational wave signal potentially observable in future space-based detectors.
