Dark photon dark matter may be produced by the cosmic strings in association with the dark U(1) gauge symmetry breaking. We perform three-dimensional lattice simulations of the Abelian-Higgs model and follow the evolution of cosmic strings. In particular, we simulate the case of (very) light vector boson and find that such vector bosons are efficiently produced by the collapse of small loops while the production is inefficient in the case of heavy vector boson. We calculate the spectrum of the gravitational wave background produced by the cosmic string loops for the light vector boson case and find characteristic features in the spectrum, which can serve as a probe of the dark photon dark matter scenario. In particular, we find that the current ground-based detectors may be sensitive to such gravitational wave signals and also on-going/future pulsar timing observations give stringent constraint on the dark photon dark matter scenario.

  1. Constant Scaling Fails for Global Monopole Networks

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Global monopole networks exhibit logarithmic growth in the number-density parameter ξ rather than constant scaling, with fractional response γ ≈ 0.5 for blue-tilted initial spectra.

  2. Detecting dark matter using optically trapped Rydberg atom tweezer arrays

    hep-ph 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Rydberg atom tweezer arrays can detect dark-photon dark matter with sensitivity to unexplored parameter space by scanning via Zeeman and diamagnetic shifts under external magnetic fields.

  3. Dark Photon Dark Matter from Quantum Fluctuations during Starobinsky Inflation

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Dark photons produced by quantum fluctuations during Starobinsky inflation must have a mass of 5.6–7.4 µeV to be all the dark matter.

  4. Nambu-Goldstone emissions from the cosmological evolution of global monopoles

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    First quantitative lattice measurement of NG boson emission from global monopoles: the spectrum peaks at the Hubble scale, the number density grows linearly with H, and the resulting pseudo-NG bosons can be dark matter.

  5. Multimodal axion emissions from Abelian-Higgs cosmic strings

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Lattice simulations of Abelian-Higgs cosmic strings with axion-gauge coupling show multimodal axion production that can account for GeV-scale dark matter while predicting observable dark radiation.

  6. Misalignment production of isotropized vector dark matter?

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Kinetic-coupling misalignment of an isotropized multi-vector condensate cannot produce dark matter: non-Gaussianity and isocurvature constraints exclude the viable parameter space in both weak- and strong-mixing regimes.

  7. Dilaton-Induced Resonant Production of Ultralight Vector Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Resonant dilatonic coupling produces ultralight vector dark matter with relic mass scaling as m_γ' ∝ r_i^{-2} for subdominant spectators in radiation-dominated backgrounds.

  8. Dipole Radiation and Kinetic Mixing from Dark Photon Solitons

    hep-ph 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Dark photon solitons emit photons through external-field dipole radiation and kinetic mixing, offering a novel astrophysical signature for wave-like dark matter.

    Dark matter freezes in from non-thermal Z' decays before reheating ends in an inflationary model with a secluded U(1)_D gauge sector, Z' reheaton, and lattice treatment of non-perturbative effects, opening viable para...

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    In the dark photon model, conformal anomaly transport produces corrections to scale conductivities that scale linearly with the dark coupling α in the dark sector and quadratically in the visible sector.
