Abstract
We propose a novel mechanism to realize leptogenesis through the Breit- Wigner resonance of a dark U(1)D gauge boson ZD , which mediates lepton number vi- olating annihilations of dark matter (DM) in the context of the scotogenic model with a U(1)D . The processes occur out of equilibrium and DM freezes out later giving rise to the observed abundance. The CP violation required for leptogenesis can be achieved by the interference between tree-level t-channel scattering of DM and the subsequent 1-loop mediated by ZD , which arises due to the unremovable imaginary part of either the ZD propagator coming from its self-energy correction or the 1-loop giving rise to the effective coupling of \( {Z}_D\overline{\nu}\nu \).
