Abstract

The original spontaneously broken \(U(1)\) gauge model with one complex Higgs scalar field has been known in recent years as a possible prototype dark-matter model.  Its antecedents in the context of \(SU(2)\) are discussed.  Three specific examples are described, with one dubbed "quantum scotodynamics".
