Cosmology and Dark Matter
by V. A. Rubakov
Publisher: arXiv 2019
Number of pages: 76
Description:
Theoretical hypotheses on the nature of the dark matter particles are numerous, so we concentrate on several well motivated candidates, such as WIMPs, axions and sterile neutrinos, and also give examples of less motivated and more elusive candidates such as fuzzy dark matter. This gives an idea of the spectrum of conceivable dark matter candidates, while certainly not exhausting it.

Holographic Quantum Matterby S. A. Hartnoll, A. Lucas, S. Sachdev - arXiv.org
We present a review of theories of states of quantum matter without quasiparticle excitations. Solvable examples of such states are provided through a holographic duality with gravitational theories in an emergent spatial dimension.
