相关论文: Initial conditions for the scalaron dark matter
It has recently been shown [1] that light vector particles produced from inflationary fluctuations can give rise to the dark matter in the Universe. A similar mechanism has been discussed in [2] for a non-minimally coupled scalar enjoying a…
The modified gravity with $f(R)=R^{1+\epsilon}$ ($\epsilon>0$) allows a scaling solution where the density of gravity sector follows the density of the dominant fluid. We present initial conditions of background and perturbation variables…
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 study the phenomenon of gravitational particle production as applied to a scalar spectator field in the context of $\alpha$-attractor inflation. Assuming that the scalar has a minimal coupling to gravity, we calculate the abundance of…
In this paper we study a real scalar field as a possible candidate to explain the dark matter in the universe. In the context of a free scalar field with quadratic potential, we have used Union 2.1 SN Ia observational data jointly with a…
We discuss the possibility that dark matter corresponds to an oscillating scalar field coupled to the Higgs boson. We argue that the initial field amplitude should generically be of the order of the Hubble parameter during inflation, as a…
We show that an oscillating scalar field in supergravity of mass of the order of $\sim$ TeV with a nonzero vacuum expectation value ($\sim 10^{10}$ GeV) can be a candidate of cold dark matter (CDM). To avoid the gravitino problem, we need a…
Conventional scenarios of purely gravitationally produced dark matter with masses below the Hubble parameter at the end of inflation are in tension with Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) constraints on the isocurvature power spectrum. We…
Motivated by the modified gravity theories $F(R)\neq R$ and inflationary physics, we first propose and investigate an inflation model in a scaled gravity $F(R)=R\,+\beta R$, where $\beta $ is a dimensionless scaling parameter. The latter is…
In the general frameworks of an earlier introduced quartet-metric/multi-component gravity, a theory of a massive scalar graviton supplementing the massless tensor one is consistently deduced. The peculiarities of the scalar-graviton field…
The possibility of the resilience of the beginning of inflation under unfavorable conditions is examined by considering the initial state of the inflaton field to be in the form of a relativistic gas with some of its properties in close…
The "gravitational baryogenesis" scenario is extended to generate both baryon and dark matter asymmetries, in the matter dominated era corresponding to post-inflationary reheating. A minimal extension requires a singlet fermion X for dark…
A new class of gravity-matter models defined in terms of two independent non-Riemannian volume forms (alternative generally covariant integration measure densities) on the space-time manifold are studied in some detail. These models involve…
The observed dark matter abundance in the Universe can be fully accounted for by a minimally coupled spectator scalar field that was light during inflation and has sufficiently strong self-coupling. In this scenario, dark matter was…
We formulate new conformal models of inflation and dark energy which generalise the Higgs-Dilaton scenario. We embed these models in unimodular gravity whose effect is to break scale invariance in the late time Universe. In the early…
We show that in large-field inflationary scenarios, superheavy (many orders of magnitude larger than the weak scale) dark matter will be produced in cosmologically interesting quantities if superheavy stable particles exist in the mass…
A curved space-time is known to act as a source for particle production in environments where gravity plays a significant role. We explore this effect in a minimal setup of cosmic inflation on the production of a scalar dark matter…
Inflation can occur near a point of inflection in the potential of flat directions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In this paper we elaborate on the complementarity between the bounds from Cosmic Microwave Background…
We study the cosmic history of the scalaron in $F(R)$ gravity with constructing the time evolution of the cosmic environment and discuss the chameleonic dark matter based on the chameleon mechanism in the early and current Universe. We then…
In this paper we study cosmological perturbations with $f(R)$ gravity scalaron. We consider epoch of transition from early general relativity (GR) phase to late time non-GR phase of cosmogenic history for a viable $f(R)$ gravity Lagrangian…
