Implications of quantum gravity for dark matter

چکیده
In this essay, we show that quantum gravity and the spin-statistics theorem have very interesting consequences for dark matter candidates. Quantum can lead to fifth force type interactions a lower bound on masses of bosonic case fermions, leads fermion masses. For both fermionic candidates, decay particles. A comparison their lifetime with age universe an upper singlet scalar fields, find [Formula: see text].

The Dark Matter Problem in Light of Quantum Gravity
We show how, by considering the cumulative effect of tiny quantum gravitational fluctuations over very large distances, it may be possible to: (a) reconcile nucleosynthesis bounds on the density parameter of the Universe with the predictions of inflationary cosmology, and (b) reproduce the inferred variation of the density parameter with distance. Our calculation can be interpreted as a computa...
متن کاملDark Matter, Quantum Gravity, Vacuum Energy, and Lorentz Invariance
In earlier work , we introduced a theory which implies violation of Lorentz invariance for (i) fermions at extremely high energy and (ii) fundamental scalar bosons which have not yet been observed. On the other hand, the theory appears to be in agreement with even the most sensitive experimental and observational tests of Lorentz invariance that are currently available, since many features of t...
متن کاملMillicharged dark matter in quantum gravity and string theory.
We examine the millicharged dark matter scenario from a string theory perspective. In this scenario, kinetic and mass mixings of the photon with extra U(1) bosons are claimed to give rise to small electric charges, carried by dark matter particles, whose values are determined by continuous parameters of the theory. This seems to contradict folk theorems of quantum gravity that forbid the existe...
متن کاملConformal Gravity: Dark Matter and Dark Energy
This short review examines recent progress in understanding dark matter, dark energy, and galactic halos using theory that departs minimally from standard particle physics and cosmology. Strict conformal symmetry (local Weyl scaling covariance), postulated for all elementary massless fields, retains standard fermion and gauge boson theory but modifies Einstein–Hilbert general relativity and the...
متن کاملDark Energy and Its Implications for Gravity
The cosmological constant is the most economical candidate for dark energy. No other approach really alleviates the difficulties faced by the cosmological constant because, in all other attempts to model the dark energy, one still has to explain why the bulk cosmological constant (treated as a low-energy parameter in the action principle) is zero. I argue that the until the theory is made invar...
