Inflaton-gluon coupling during inflation requires p=2 plateau models to produce isocurvature-free QCD axion dark matter.
A dc SQUID operated at the flux sweet spot with lock-in modulation yields an ultra-broadband axion search with projected sensitivity |g_aγγ| ≳ 10^{-16} GeV^{-1} across 15 orders of magnitude in mass.
Derives the power spectrum evolution and cross-spectra for arbitrary multi-species wave and particle dark matter, incorporating free-streaming, Jeans scales, and intrinsic fluctuations.
The Landau-Zener approximation for axion-photon conversion in neutron star magnetospheres fails when resonance width exceeds conversion region size, leading to revised axion constraints from optical-band searches.
New simulation-based fitting formula for FDM halo mass functions at z=6-11, with ~30% weaker suppression than earlier formulas for m c²=10^{-21} eV at M~3e9 solar masses.
Inflaton-gluon coupling induces early QCD confinement to suppress axion isocurvature perturbations and enable axion dark matter production in alpha-attractor inflation models.
Axion-photon coupling imprints measurable Aharonov-Bohm and Berry phases in superconducting circuits and interferometers, projecting sensitivity to g_aγγ ~ 7.8e-14 GeV^{-1} at m_a ~ 1e-10 eV.
Time-resolved optical polarimetry of the Crab pulsar is used to place bounds on the axion-photon coupling via oscillating axion fields induced by the pulsar's magnetic field.
Stripped-envelope supernovae enable QCD axion detection to masses around 10^{-4} eV via gamma-ray signals from conversion in progenitor magnetic fields.
Holographic dark matter arises from the Ricci cutoff in a baryon-plus-radiation universe, matching observed densities and reversing the sign of pre-existing negative vacuum energy to match observations.
Proposes that axion-photon conversion in pre-CMB helical magnetic fields imprints detectable V-mode polarization in the CMB, allowing CLASS 40 GHz observations to constrain ALP masses 10^{-10} to 10^{-8} eV and their photon coupling under optimistic nG field assumptions.
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.
Derives suppression of adiabatic perturbations and scale-dependent growth of isocurvature power in warm wave dark matter, verifies with Schrödinger-Poisson simulations, and proposes an analytic halo mass function.
O(100-10^5) string axions enhance PBH superradiance efficiency via increased spin, expanding viable mass-spin regions for micro-boson star dark matter while too many axions cause overly rapid evaporation.
Axion-like particles in the trapped misalignment mechanism produce observable gravitational waves while generating intergalactic magnetic fields that exceed blazar lower bounds in the parameter space promising for gravitational wave detection.
Using Jeans analysis of Leo II stellar kinematics, the paper constrains the fuzzy dark matter mass m_a and self-interaction parameter f_a, finding 95% CL lower limits on m_a in the (1-10)×10^{-22} eV range for |f_a^{-1}| ≲ 10^{-14} GeV^{-1}.
Turbulent magnetic fields enhance axion-photon conversion signals from supernovae, improving limits on axion-proton and axion-photon couplings by up to two orders of magnitude.
Double level crossings are common in multi-axion mass mixing of Z_N axions and ALPs, occurring multiple times for large N in the light axion case but prevented by excessively large or small N in light and heavy scenarios respectively.
Current interplanetary range measurements could probe ultralight dark matter at masses around 10^{-15} eV if its solar system density were 10^5 times the local value.
Neutrino interactions in unimodular gravity produce dynamical dark energy whose evolution fits late-time cosmological data for interaction strengths around 10^12 eV^{-2} at 2 sigma for sub-meV neutrino masses.
Majoron dark matter is viable for sub-MeV masses in high-scale seesaw models with thermal leptogenesis, produced via misalignment and cosmic strings in pre- and post-inflationary scenarios and constrained by CMB, X-ray, and gravitational wave observations.
A comprehensive formulation is given for the angular power spectrum of photons from dark matter annihilation or decay, stressing that detector energy resolution is essential for accurate evaluation of line photon signals.
Semi-analytic modeling of supernova cooling with six PNS parameters yields bounds on axion-nucleon coupling versus ALP mass that match numerical simulation results.
