abstract

We detailed our discovery of a chiral enhancement in the production cross sections of massive spin-2 gravitons, below the electroweak symmetry breaking scale, that makes them ideal dark matter candidates for the freeze-in mechanism. The result is independent of the physics at high scales, and points toward masses in the keV- MeV range. The graviton is, therefore, a sub-MeV dark matter particle, as favored by the small scale galaxy structures. We apply the novel calculation to a Randall-Sundrum model with multiple branes, showing a significant parameter space where the first two massive gravitons saturate the dark matter relic density.

Massive Graviton Dark Matter from a Gapped Continuum

hep-th · 2026-07-08 · conditional · novelty 6.0

Radiative corrections pull an isolated, long-lived massive graviton out of the gapped linear-dilaton continuum, giving a sub-MeV dark-matter candidate that can coexist with a holographic fluid component.
