Scalar-tensor theories of gravity provide a consistent framework to accommodate an ultra-light quintessence scalar field. While the equivalence principle is respected by construction, deviations from General Relativity and standard cosmology may show up at nucleosynthesis, CMB, and solar system tests of gravity. After imposing all the bounds coming from these observations, we consider the expansion rate of the universe at WIMP decoupling, showing that it can lead to an enhancement of the dark matter relic density up to few orders of magnitude with respect to the standard case. This effect can have an impact on supersymmetric candidates for dark matter.

  1. Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis and WIMP Dark Matter Freeze-Out as Probes of Yukawa Cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using BBN and WIMP relic density, the authors constrain the Yukawa gravity coupling α to about -0.017 to 0.018, with the lithium discrepancy still unexplained.
