Can Dark Matter be an artifact of extended theories of gravity?

open access: yes, 2016
In this article, we propose different background models of extended theories of gravity, which are minimally coupled to the SM fields, to explain the possibility of genesis of dark matter without affecting the SM particle sector.

Conformal transformations and Nordstr\"om's scalar theory of gravity

open access: yes, 2010
As we shall briefly recall, Nordstr\"om's theory of gravity is observationally ruled out. It is however an interesting example of non-minimal coupling of matter to gravity and of the role of conformal transformations.

SuperCam Raman Activities at Jezero Crater, Mars: Observational Strategies, Data Processing, and Mineral Detections During the First 1000 Sols

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The Mars 2020 Perseverance rover introduced Raman spectroscopy to in situ planetary exploration for the first time when it landed in Jezero crater on Mars in February 2021. The SuperCam instrument onboard Perseverance is a multi‐analytical tool capable of acquiring time‐resolved Raman data from Martian targets at standoff distances of a few ...

Leptophilic dark matter from gauged lepton number: phenomenology and gravitational wave signatures

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
New gauge symmetries often appear in theories beyond the Standard Model. Here we study a model where lepton number is promoted to a gauge symmetry. Anomaly cancellation requires the introduction of additional leptons, the lightest of which is a natural ...

Light dark matter from inflaton decay

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
We propose a simple mechanism of light dark matter (DM) production from the decay of the oscillating inflaton condensation. If the reheating temperature after inflation is higher than the inflaton mass, which is of the same order of the momentum of the ...

What are the Building Blocks of Our Universe? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We are told that we are living in a Golden Age of Astronomy. Cosmological Parameters are found with un precedented accuracy. Yet, the known form of matter forms only a small fraction of the total energy density of the universe.

The unexpected resurgence of Weyl geometry in late 20-th century physics

open access: yes, 2017
Weyl's original scale geometry of 1918 ("purely infinitesimal geometry") was withdrawn by its author from physical theorizing in the early 1920s. It had a comeback in the last third of the 20th century in different contexts: scalar tensor theories of ...

Bosonic Coherent Motions in the Universe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We mini-review the role of fundamental spin-0 bosons as bosonic coherent motion (BCM) in the Universe. The fundamental spin-0 bosons have the potential to account for the baryon number generation, cold dark matter (CDM) via BCM, dark energy, and ...

On Babushkas and Postcapitalism: Theorising Diverse Economies from the Global East

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 57, Issue 6, Page 2484-2507, November 2025.
Abstract As transformative visions for more just and sustainable societies multiply around the globe, the Diverse and Community Economies approach presents one of the most influential strategies to advance postcapitalist visions. In this paper, we contribute to this project based on our research and activism in the Global East, intended here as Central

Gravitational wave signatures from domain wall and strong first-order phase transitions in a two complex scalar extension of the Standard Model

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
We consider a simple extension of Standard Model by adding two complex singlet scalars with a U(1) symmetry. A discrete Z 2 × Z 2 ′ $$ {\mathcal{Z}}_2\times {\mathcal{Z}}_2^{\prime } $$ symmetry is imposed in the model and the added scalars acquire a non
