We construct a holographic model for dark energy in the Brans-Dicke cosmology by using the holographic principle considering the Barrow entropy instead of the standard Bekenstein-Hawking one. The former arises from the effort to account for…
We consider a massive complex scalar field with contact interactions with a source and show that, upon Bose-Einstein condensation, there is an emergent long-range interaction between sources. This interaction becomes long-range in the limit…
Dark matter halos can enter a phase of gravothermal core--collapse in the presence of self-interactions. This phase that follows a core--expansion phase is thought to be subdominant due to the long time-scales involved. However, it has been…
