abstract

We revisit ghost dark matter, the possibility that ghost condensation may serve as an alternative to dark matter. In particular, we investigate the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) background evolution and the large-scale structure (LSS) in the $\Lambda$GDM universe, i.e. a late-time universe dominated by a cosmological constant and ghost dark matter. The FRW background of the $\Lambda$GDM universe is indistinguishable from that of the standard $\Lambda$CDM universe if $M\gtrsim 1 {\rm eV}$, where $M$ is the scale of spontaneous Lorentz breaking. From the LSS we find a stronger bound: $M\gtrsim 10 {\rm eV}$. For smaller $M$, ghost dark matter would have non-negligible sound speed after the matter-radiation equality, and thus the matter power spectrum would significantly differ from observation. These bounds are compatible with the phenomenological upper bound $M\lesssim 100 {\rm GeV}$ known in the literature.

  1. The Cosmological Dipole in Tilted Anisotropic Universes

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In tilted Bianchi cosmologies, a 10^-3 dipole is impossible under current shear and curvature bounds except possibly for a Khronon field.

  2. Slowly Rotating Neutron Stars in Aether Scalar-Tensor Theory

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In Aether Scalar-Tensor theory, slowly rotating neutron stars obey approximate universal moment-of-inertia versus compactness relations that deviate from general relativity and are fit with parameter-dependent formulae.
