abstract

We study the impact of thermalization and number-changing processes in the dark sector on the yield of gravitationally produced dark matter (DM). We take into account the DM production through the $s$-channel exchange of a massless graviton both from the scattering of inflatons during the reheating era, and from the Standard Model bath via the UV freeze-in mechanism. By considering the DM to be a scalar, a fermion, and a vector boson we show, in a model-independent way, that DM self-interaction gives rise to a larger viable parameter space by allowing lower reheating temperature to be compatible with Planck observed relic abundance. As an example, we also discuss our findings in the ontext of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric scalar singlet DM model.

  1. Light PIDM in Warped Extra Dimensions

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A UV-Dark-IR brane construction in warped 5D space allows light (MeV-TeV) purely gravitational dark matter to freeze in with TeV-scale reheating temperatures.

  2. Pseudo-FIMP dark matter in presence of a SIMP

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A feebly interacting dark matter particle can become a pseudo-FIMP by staying in equilibrium through conversion with a strongly self-interacting SIMP partner; the paper demonstrates this with coupled Boltzmann equatio...

  3. Seesaw Cosmology

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    In seesaw reheating, the post-inflation universe can pass through four alternating matter/radiation eras, with the Standard Model temperature falling as a^{-1/4} and then a^{-3/8}, which changes dark-matter production.

  4. Baryon-dark matter coincidence in Randall-Sundrum Model

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Graviton- and radion-mediated freeze-in in a Randall-Sundrum model can match the observed dark matter relic abundance, and TeV-scale resonant leptogenesis through the same portals can match the observed baryon asymmet...

  5. Constraining Gravitational Dark Matter with LHAASO and Fermi-LAT

    hep-ph 2025-12 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    Diffuse Galactic gamma-ray data strongly limit the couplings of gravitationally produced decaying dark matter, and the paper claims an oscillation-based bound on massive dark photons.

  6. Dark Matter Ultraviolet Freeze-in in General Reheating Scenarios

    hep-ph 2025-01 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper derives analytic dark matter freeze-in yields for arbitrary power-law reheating histories and maps the gravitational production parameter space.

  7. Aspects of Gravitational Portals and Freeze-in during Reheating

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    During reheating, freeze-in from the gravitationally produced radiation bath can dominate the dark matter relic density for DM masses above the reheating temperature, with k- and n-dependent constraints.

  8. Preheating Axions in String Cosmology

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Preheating of closed-string axions in fibre inflation can overproduce dark matter, yielding new upper bounds on the axion mass and constraints on model parameters.

  9. Relativistic accretion and burdened primordial black holes

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Combining relativistic accretion with memory-burdened evaporation widens the parameter space for primordial black holes as dark matter and changes dark matter and dark radiation emission predictions.

  10. $Z'$-Mediated Dark Matter with Low-Temperature Reheating

    hep-ph 2024-12 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    Low-temperature reheating shifts the relic-density contours of Z'-mediated dark matter so that WIMP and FIMP solutions merge and new regions become testable.
