We develop a method of multifractal analysis of N-body cosmological simulations that improves on the customary counts-in-cells method by taking special care of the effects of discreteness and large scale homogeneity. The analysis of the…
We propose a method that allows to place an upper limit on the dark matter elastic scattering cross section with nucleons which is independent of the velocity distribution. Our approach combines null results from direct detection…
A model one-dimensional self consistent steady state collisionless self-gravitating system in which all the particles have the same energy is presented. This has the remarkable property that the position and velocity of the particles…

The density profile of simulated dark matter structures is fairly well-established, and several explanations for its characteristics have been put forward. In contrast, the radial variation of the velocity anisotropy has still not been…
One can solve the Jeans equation analytically for equilibrated dark matter structures, once given two pieces of input from numerical simulations. These inputs are 1) a connection between phase-space density and radius, and 2) a connection…
Reducing theoretical uncertainties in Galactic dark matter (DM) searches is an important challenge as several experiments are now delving into the parameter space relevant to popular (particle or not) candidates. Since many DM signal…

We study the phase-space structure of a dark-matter halo formed in a high resolution simulation of a Lambda CDM cosmology. Our goal is to quantify how much substructure is left over from the inhomogeneous growth of the halo, and how it may…
We identify a universal relation between the radial density slope \alpha (r) and the velocity anisotropy \beta (r) for equilibrated structures. This relation holds for a variety of systems, including disk galaxy mergers, spherical…
In this paper we reconsider a series expansion for a dark matter distribution function in the spherically symmetric anisotropic limit. We show here that the expansion may be renormalized so that the series does converge in time to an…

In a recent Letter, Cowsik, Ratnam and Bhattacharjee (1996a) have built a dynamically self-consistent spatial distribution of particles of galactic dark matter. They have come up with the rather unorthodox conclusion that the mean velocity…
We have selected 42 elliptical galaxies from the literature and estimated their velocity dispersions at the effective radius ($\sigma_{\re}$) and at 0.54 effective radii ($\vff$). We find by a dynamical analysis that the normalized velocity…
In our current best cosmological model, the vast majority of matter in the Universe is dark, consisting of yet undetected, non-baryonic particles that do not interact electro-magnetically. So far, the only significant evidence for dark…
