abstract

Cold dark matter (CDM) models predict small-scale structure in excess of observations of the cores and abundance of dwarf galaxies. These problems might be solved, and the virtues of CDM models retained, even without postulating {\it ad hoc} dark matter particle or field interactions, if the dark matter is composed of ultra-light scalar particles (m ~ 10^{-22}eV), initially in a (cold) Bose-Einstein condensate, similar to axion dark matter models. The wave properties of the dark matter stabilize gravitational collapse providing halo cores and sharply suppressing small-scale linear power.

Tunneling and tidal stripping in multifield ultralight dark matter halos

hep-ph · 2026-05-12 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A semiclassical tunneling model shows that two-field ultralight DM halos have stability bounds that can be relaxed for some density-mass ratios but become more stringent across much of the parameter space compared to single-field cases.

Tachyonic gravitational dark matter production after inflation

astro-ph.CO · 2026-01-12 · accept · novelty 7.0

Tachyonic instabilities from post-inflation curvature reorganization via quadratic Gauss-Bonnet coupling produce the observed dark matter relic density across wide mass and scale ranges, backed by lattice simulations and a fitting function.

Growth of Structure in Multi-species Wave Dark Matter

astro-ph.CO · 2025-10-20 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Derives the power spectrum evolution and cross-spectra for arbitrary multi-species wave and particle dark matter, incorporating free-streaming, Jeans scales, and intrinsic fluctuations.

Gravitational-wave lensing beyond rays: a disordered-system approach

astro-ph.CO · 2026-04-16 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A quenched-disorder approach with Schwinger-Keldysh path integrals produces an averaged density matrix for gravitational waves that separates phase-suppressing exponential terms from oscillatory corrections to coherent propagation.

Wave-envelope dark matter beyond the monochromatic paradigm

hep-ph · 2026-04-15 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Mixing of ultralight wave dark matter fields creates a wave-envelope structure with intrinsic slow modulation and frequency sidebands, violating the standard monochromatic assumption.

Self-gravitating quantum stars with a globally relevant Bohm potential

hep-th · 2026-05-31 · conditional · novelty 6.0

The equilibrium radius of self-gravitating dark fermion stars is determined by the fermion mass once the total mass is given, with the Bohm potential supplying outward pressure for heavier species and inward tension for lighter ones.

Early Growth of Structure in Warm Wave Dark Matter

astro-ph.CO · 2025-06-13 · conditional · novelty 6.0

Derives suppression of adiabatic perturbations and scale-dependent growth of isocurvature power in warm wave dark matter, verifies with Schrödinger-Poisson simulations, and proposes an analytic halo mass function.

Searching for ultralight bosons with Josephson junction interferometry

hep-ph · 2026-04-26 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Josephson junctions can detect ultralight boson potentials through induced phase shifts, enabling probes of photophilic scalars, Lorentz-violating scalars, and axion monopole-dipole interactions depending on source polarization.

Gravitational Wave Birefringence from Fuzzy Dark Matter

gr-qc · 2024-06-19 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Fuzzy dark matter induces frequency-dependent amplitude birefringence in gravitational waves with periodic time modulation set by the scalar mass, but no velocity birefringence.

Ultralight dark matter in long-baseline accelerator neutrino oscillations

hep-ph · 2023-12-18 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Systematic study of scalar and vector ULDM interactions on long-baseline neutrino oscillations finds order-of-magnitude weaker constraints for m_φ ≲ 10^{-17} eV due to stochastic effects, with combined T2K+NOvA data showing no alleviation of δ_CP discrepancy.

Ultralight dark matter mixed with primordial black holes

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-30 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

In mixed ULDM-PBH halos the continuum PBH contribution alters soliton structure at the tens-of-percent level while discrete shot noise induces mode transitions too slow to matter on galactic timescales.
