Scalar field dark matter - Open Access .click

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2011
We study the viability of a a complex scalar field χ with self‐interacting potential V = m0χ/2|χ|2+h|χ|4 as dark matter. Due to the self interaction, the scalar field forms a Bose‐Einstein condensate at early times that represents dark matter. The self interaction is also responsible of quantum corrections to the scalar field mass that naturally give ...

The massless scalar field as an alternative to dark matter

Astronomical & Astrophysical Transactions, 1997
Abstract It is shown that if the scalar gravitational field in the generalized scalar—tensor theory of gravitation is taken into account, the cosmological requirement for the existence of dark matter is less strong.

Structure Formation with Scalar Field Dark Matter

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010
In this work we calculate the different ingredients needed to obtain the matter density profile of the large‐scale structure we observe now a days in a qualitative way. The key difference of the work lays on the fact that we study the formation of structure in the Universe assuming that dark matter can be described by a scalar field (SF) Φ with a ...

Unified view of scalar and vector dark matter solitons

Journal of High Energy Physics
The existence of solitons — stable, long-lived, and localized field configurations — is a generic prediction for ultralight dark matter. These solitons, known by various names such as boson stars, axion stars, oscillons, and Q-balls depending on the ...
