abstract
We review theories of Asymmetric Dark Matter (ADM), their cosmological implications and detection. While there are many models of ADM in the literature, our review of existing models will center on highlighting the few common features and important mechanisms for generation and transfer of the matter-anti-matter asymmetry between dark and visible sectors. We also survey ADM hidden sectors, the calculation of the relic abundance for ADM, and how the DM asymmetry may be erased at late times through oscillations. We consider cosmological constraints on ADM from the cosmic microwave background, neutron stars, the Sun, and brown and white dwarves. Lastly, we review indirect and direct detection methods for ADM, collider signatures, and constraints.

Asymmetric cannibal dark matter with Z3-symmetric 3→2 interactions depletes in neutron star cores, producing observable heating signatures that constrain dark matter parameters beyond standard annihilation models.
Astrophysical uncertainties in dark matter halo models produce O(1% to 100%) fractional deviations in predicted single-phonon rates, but can be captured by parameter variations within the Standard Halo Model after rms-matching.
A gauged SO(3) flavour symmetry broken at multiple scales generates SM fermion masses, redistributes a lepton asymmetry into baryon and dark matter asymmetries via sphalerons, and yields dark matter as bound states of a confining SU(3), with mirror fermions required for anomaly cancellation.
A sterile neutrino with a novel density-dependent matter potential Vs resolves multiple oscillation anomalies when Vs is negative and mixing angles are small.
A leptogenesis framework generates both baryon asymmetry and asymmetric dark matter via heavy Majorana neutrino decays, enabling a TeV-scale seesaw with hierarchical couplings and testable spin-independent DM cross sections above 10 GeV.
Increasing the bosonic dark matter fraction in admixed neutron stars shifts axial quasi-normal mode frequencies and damping times, can reorder mode hierarchy, and drives a transition from neutron-star-like to boson-star-like ringdown behavior.
A UV-complete neutron portal model dynamically solves the dark matter-baryon coincidence via a supercooled dark confinement transition that generates GeV-scale asymmetric DM and links to observed gravitational waves.
Precision study of dark sector phase transitions finds PTA-favored parameters near EFT breakdown with disfavored GW signals after higher-order corrections.
Radiative barriers in SUSY flat directions enable supercooled PTs yielding Ω_GW h² up to ~3e-10 for M_λ̃/v_X in 0.05-0.23, with the hidden sector also reproducing Ω_CDM h²=0.12 for m_q ~30-800 keV.
Scalarization occurs across most of the parameter space for negative coupling parameter β_d in self-interacting dark matter stars, over a broader range than in conventional neutron stars.
Tensor perturbations from FOPT and domain-wall sources are claimed to induce second-order scalar perturbations large enough to form primordial black holes, potentially all of the dark matter.
Dark matter cores heat baryonic matter in evolving proto-neutron stars by deepening the gravitational potential while halos cool it, providing a diagnostic distinct from hyperons.
ANUBIS is projected to reach |V|^2 ~ 1.8-1.9e-8 for minimal Majorana HNLs at masses ~6.3-6.4 GeV coupling to e or mu.
DM admixture in isentropic neutron stars can mimic quark-matter conformality signatures via competition between thermal effects and dark sector softening.
Muonphilic portals to fermionic asymmetric dark matter are constrained by existing data and can be probed further by 3 and 10 TeV muon colliders.
Thesis summarizing an upper limit of 0.12 eV on the neutrino mass sum, bias calibration via CMB lensing cross-correlations, and tighter limits plus stronger normal-ordering preference in non-phantom dynamical dark energy models.
