We argue that primordial dark matter halos could be generated during radiation domination by long range attractive forces stronger than gravity. In this paper we derive the conditions under which these structures could dominate the dark matter content of the Universe while passing microlensing constraints and cosmic microwave background energy injection bounds. The dark matter particles would be clumped in objects in the solar mass range with typical sizes of the order of the solar system. Consequences for direct dark matter searches are important.

  1. Gravitational Waves From Dark Binaries With Finite-Range Dark Forces

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A finite-range dark force between dark-matter binaries sharpens and enhances the predicted gravitational wave background, adding knee features tied to the mediator mass.

  2. Black Holes from Fermi Ball Collapse

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    With a quartic scalar self-coupling, dark-sector Fermi balls saturate early and become compact enough to collapse into primordial black holes.

  3. Inflation with the Trace Anomaly Action and Primordial Black Holes

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the trace anomaly effective theory, the anomalyon's curvature perturbation has a power spectrum growing as k^2, which can seed primordial black holes on short scales.

  4. Little Red Dots from Small-Scale Primordial Black Hole Clustering

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Densely clustered 30-solar-mass primordial black holes can sequentially merge into ~10^6 solar-mass seeds by redshift 6, possibly explaining JWST little red dots, with high spin from tidal torques and a two-peak gravi...

  5. Probing Long-Range Forces Between Neutrinos with Cosmic Structures

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Neutrino long-range forces stronger than gravity would make the cosmic neutrino background collapse into bound states, and existing matter power spectrum and reionization data now exclude a band of couplings for force...
