The modification of Einstein gravity at high energies is mandatory from a quantum approach. In this work, we point out that this modification will necessarily introduce new degrees of freedom. We analyze the possibility that these new gravitational states can provide the main contribution to the non-baryonic dark matter of the Universe. Unfortunately, the right ultraviolet completion of gravity is still unresolved. For this reason, we will illustrate this idea with the simplest high energy modification of the Einstein-Hilbert action: R^2-gravity.

  1. Effective scalaron--photon interaction in $f(R)$ gravity

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Effective scalaron-photon coupling in f(R) gravity vanishes in the light-scalaron limit due to cancellation of anomaly-induced and diagrammatic contributions.

  2. Effective scalaron--photon interaction in $f(R)$ gravity

    hep-th 2026-06 accept novelty 5.5 of 10

    In the Jordan-frame treatment of f(R) gravity the scalaron-photon effective coupling vanishes for m much less than loop-particle masses because the classical-trace diagrams cancel the Fujikawa anomaly term.

  3. Scalaron dark matter dynamics: effects of Higgs non-minimal coupling to gravity

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Adding Higgs non-minimal coupling ξ modifies the scalaron-Higgs trilinear term, yielding scalaron dark matter masses in 2.7 meV–0.7 MeV (misalignment case) or 3.6 meV–770 meV (interaction-dominated cases) plus an LHC-...

  4. Scalar-Induced Electromagnetic Radiation: Comparison with Axion-Like Particles and Implications for Modified Gravity

    hep-ph 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Scalar fields in scalar-tensor gravity produce EM radiation through φFμνFμν coupling with resonance amplification that differs from ALP φFμν~Fμν signals, enabling potential distinction and modified gravity tests.

  5. On Searches for Gravitational Dark Matter with Quantum Sensors

    hep-ph 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Gravitational dark matter candidates with masses in [10^{-3}, 1] eV could produce a measurable effective time variation of the proton mass with future atomic clocks.
