1. Introduction
Recently, there was an 2.6σ anomaly in lepton-universality vio-
lation
in the ratio R

±
0.036 by the LHCb Collaboration [1]. In addition, sizable deviations
were observed in angular distributions of B → K
∗
μμ [2]. The re-
sults
can be interpreted by a large negative contribution to the
Wilson coefficient C
9
of the semileptonic operator O
9
, and also
contributions to other Wilson coefficients, in particular to C
9
[3–6].
The
discrepancy between the theoretical prediction and exper-
imental
value on the muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment
has been a long-standing problem, which stands at 3.6σ level with
the deviation from the SM prediction at [7].

If one insists on fulfilling the muon g −2within 1σ −2σ of the ex-
perimental
value in any models, it puts a strong constraint on the
parameter space. For example, it requires a relatively light spec-
trum
in the supersymmetric particles in the MSSM in order to
bring the prediction to be within 1σ − 2σ of the experimental
value. A number of leptoquark models have been proposed to solve
the B → K

μμ anomaly, but however it is very hard to satisfy si-
multaneously
the muon g −2: see for example Ref. [8].
In
this work, we propose a three-loop neutrino mass model

, to
achieve a sizable muon g −2, and to provide a bosonic dark matter
candidate, and at the same time satisfying all the constraints from
lepton flavor violations. The concrete model is based on the SM
symmetry and a Z

The model consists of the SM fields, 3 additional leptoquark triplet
fields

, and one colorless doublet scalar field η. These fields
are assigned different Z

parities and hypercharges in such a way
that each of the Yukawa-type couplings contributes to either neu-
trino
mass, B → K

μμ anomaly, muon g − 2, or the dark matter
interactions. In this way, although the model contains more param-
eter,
it can however explain all the above anomalies. The achieve-
ments
of the model can be summarized in the following.
1. The
neutrino mass pattern and oscillation can be accommo-
dated
with the Yukawa coupling terms f , g, h in three-loop
diagrams.

2. The Yukawa coupling term f can give useful contributions to
the Wilson coefficients C

in such a way that it can explain
successfully the B → K
(∗)
μμ anomaly.
3. The
muon g −2 receives a large contribution from the Yukawa
coupling term r. With some adjustment of the parameters a
level of 10
−9
is possible.
4. It
provides a dark matter (DM) candidate η

the neutral component of the η field with correct relic density.
