abstract
We describe a quasi-equilibrium profile of dark matter particles in the inner parsec of the Galaxy, rho ~ r^-3/2. This "mini-cusp" profile is caused by scattering with the dense stellar cluster around the supermassive black hole in Sgr A* and is independent of the initial conditions. The implications for detection of gamma rays from WIMP dark matter annihilation in the Galactic center are a mild enhancement of the flux, and a characteristic central feature in the angular distribution which could be detectable by high-resolution Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes.

Stellar gravitational heating reduces dark matter spike overdensities by 2-4 orders of magnitude and drives the inner slope to γ_χ ≈ 1.5 within a few Gyrs, remaining above NFW cusps.
Orbit-averaged DM energy exchange for S4714 reaches stellar luminosity at σ_χp ~ 10^{-36} cm² (MeV-GeV) and σ_χe ~ 5×10^{-38} cm² (sub-MeV) for spiked DM profiles.
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.
Models apsidal precession and dynamical friction from extended matter to extend GRAVITY constraints on boson clouds around Sgr A* and assess impacts on S-star orbits.
Regular black holes in Einasto dark matter halos show the strongest deviations from Schwarzschild in photon sphere and shadow properties near a critical halo parameter, remaining consistent with Sgr A* but mildly disfavoring M87* at high values.
