8. Loop-suppressed kinetic mixing also arises generically by integrating out charged massive states [9]. Its effect is subleading with respect to mass mixing, so we neglect it in this work.

16. We require no mixed (Equation presented) gravitational anomalies, and furthermore, no (Equation presented)-(Equation presented) anomalies, which can always be eliminated by combining (Equation presented) with hypercharge [17].

20. Notice that anomalous U(1)'s yield some particular couplings that may lead to specific experimental signatures [21,22].

24. Another way to state this is that terms in the Lagrangian must be gauge invariant under the original symmetries (Equation presented) and (Equation presented) and hence can only include singlets from each sector.

28. Mass mixing between hypercharge and a hidden U(1), as studied in Refs. [29-31], is highly constrained from the appearance of fractional charges in the hidden sector [15,32].
