Abstract
In this review, I describe a class of dark matter (DM) models where DM is either stable due to unbroken dark gauge symmetries, or long-lived due to accidental global symmetries resulting from the underlying dark gauge symmetries. Within these models, I discuss various topics on DM in the context of particle and astroparticle physics and cosmology: DM thermal relic density and (in)direct detection, Higgs inflation assisted with Higgs portal interaction, dark radiation (DR), DM-DR interaction and suppression of the matter power spectrum at large k, strong first order phase transition and gravitational wave production, etc.. Especially I emphasize the importance of dark gauge symmetries, unitarity and renormalizability, and the limitation of the DM effective field theory (EFT) or simplified models for DM searches at high energy colliders, including the role of dark Higgs boson and dark gauge bosons.
