Misalignment & Co.: (pseudo-)scalar and vector dark matter with curvature couplings

Motivated by their potential role as dark matter, we study the cosmological evolution of light scalar and vector fields non-minimally coupled to gravity. Our focus is on a situation where the dominant contribution to the energy density arises from the misalignment mechanism. In addition, we also dis...

520 |a Motivated by their potential role as dark matter, we study the cosmological evolution of light scalar and vector fields non-minimally coupled to gravity. Our focus is on a situation where the dominant contribution to the energy density arises from the misalignment mechanism. In addition, we also discuss the possibility that dark matter is generated in a stochastic scenario or from infationary fluctuations. Even small deviations in the non-minimal couplings from the standard scenarios lead to significant qualitative and quantitative changes. This is due to the curvature-coupling driven superhorizon evolution of the homogeneous field and the non-zero momentum modes during inflation. Both the relic density yield and the large-scale density fluctuations are affected. For the misalignment mechanism, this results in a weakening of the isocurvature constraints and opens up new viable regions of parameter space.
