We consider the effect on early Universe cosmology of the dark photon associated with the gauging of $U(1{)}_{T3R}$, a symmetry group under which only right-handed Standard Model fermions transform nontrivially. We find that cosmological constraints on this scenario are qualitatively much more severe than on other well-studied cases of a …
