Using very simple arguments we show that the quantum effects of an ultra-light particle as the Scalar Field Dark Matter $m_{SFDM}\sim10^{-22}$eV cannot be neglected at classical scales. We show that the effective density of this effect is…
We study the spherical collapse model in dark energy cosmologies, in which dark energy is modelled as a minimally coupled scalar field. We first follow the standard assumption that dark energy does not cluster on the scales of interest.…
The strong CP problem was solved by Peccei & Quinn by introducing axions, which are a viable candidate for DM. Here the PQ approach is modified so to yield also Dark Energy (DE), which arises in fair proportions, without tuning any extra…
We investigate spatially flat isotropic cosmological models which contain a scalar field with an exponential potential and a perfect fluid with a linear equation of state. We include an interaction term, through which the energy of the…
We explore the possibilities of modeling a spherically symmetric static spacetime that can emerge as the end state of gravitational collapse, by considering it to be seeded by a composite fluid made of matter and a scalar field. In this…
We consider static spherically symmetric solutions of a general scalar field theory with non-standard kinetic energy coupled to gravity with a view to explain dark matter halos as a coherent state of the scalar field. Consistent solutions…
The two most popular candidates for dark energy, i.e. a cosmological constant and quintessence, are very difficult to distinguish observationally, mostly because the quintessence field does not have sizable fluctuations. We study a scalar…
We study the cosmological evolution of scalar fields with arbitrary potentials in the presence of a barotropic fluid (matter or radiation) without making any assumption on which term dominates. We determine what kind of potentials V(phi)…
The nature of the dark matter that binds galaxies remains an open question. The favored candidate has been so far the neutralino. This massive species with evanescent interactions is now in difficulty. It would actually collapse in dense…
We investigate a cosmological model in which dark energy, represented by a quintessential scalar field, is directly coupled to a dark-matter perfect fluid. We are interested in solutions of cosmological relevance, namely those for which a…
We propose that cosmological magnetic fields generated in regions of finite spatial dimensions may manifest themselves in the global dynamics of the Universe as `dark energy'. We test our model in the context of spatially flat cosmological…
We consider the implications of a scalar field interacting with the dark matter fluid on the energy spectrum of the primordial gravitational waves. We choose an interaction type which before a critical matter density $\rho_m^c$ during the…
We present a model where a non-conventional scalar field may act like dark energy leading to cosmic acceleration. The latter is driven by an appropriate field configuration, which result in an effective cosmological constant. The potential…
We propose a new scenario for the onset of positive acceleration of our Universe based on symmetry breaking in coupled dark energy scalar field model. In a symmetry breaking process where the scalar field rolls down its own potential, the…
We present models that simultaneously predict presence of dark energy and cold dark matter along with slow-roll inflation. The dark energy density is found to be of order $({\rm a \;few \;meV})^4$, and the mass of dark matter constituent is…
We study the phase structure of a 4D complex scalar field theory with a potential V(Phi) = | Lambda^3 / Phi - Lambda Phi |^2 at zero and at finite temperature. The model is analyzed by mean field and Monte Carlo methods. At zero temperature…
The observed accelerating universe indicates the presence of Dark Energy which is probably interpreted in terms of an extremely light gravitational scalar field. We suggest a way to probe this scalar field which contributes to optical…
We derive non-relativistic equations of motion for the formation of cosmological structure in a Scalar Field Dark Matter (SFDM) model corresponding to a complex scalar field endowed with a quadratic scalar potential. Starting with the full…
One of the simplest models of dark matter is that where a scalar singlet field S comprises some or all of the dark matter, and interacts with the standard model through an HHSS coupling to the Higgs boson. We update the present limits on…
A derivation of a theoretical, time average, cosmic microwave background (CMB), Planckian temperature V of the universe remains a challenge. A scalar potential model (SPM) that resulted from considerations of galaxy cells is applied to…
