abstract

We argue that there is a lower bound of order $10^{-19}$ eV on dark matter mass if it is produced after inflation via a process with finite correlation length. We rely on non-detection of free-streaming suppression and white-noise enhancement of density perturbations as the observational inputs.

  1. Generating Moving Field Initial Conditions with Spatially Varying Boost

    physics.comp-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 'spatially varying boost' algorithm assigns arbitrary, position-dependent bulk velocities to field initial data by composing local Lorentz boosts, demonstrated on solitons, Proca fields, and spin-1 wave dark matter.

  2. The effects of non Bunch-Davies initial conditions on gravitationally produced relics

    gr-qc 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Non-Bunch–Davies initial conditions can drastically change gravitationally produced vector dark matter abundances, opening a wider viable mass range.

  3. Constraining Dark Photon Dark Matter with Radio Silence from Soliton Mergers around Supermassive Black Holes

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Non-observation of radio bursts from soliton mergers around supermassive black holes constrains dark photon solitons to make up less than about 1% of dark matter, with future surveys reaching 0.2%.

  4. Large-Scale Structure Probes of the Post-Inflationary Axiverse

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    HST ultraviolet luminosity function data at z=4-10, combined with Lyman-α and CMB data, place leading constraints on subdominant post-inflationary axion dark matter via its white-noise isocurvature perturbations.

  5. Universal lower bound on the axion decay constant from free streaming effects

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Abundance-boosted axion dark matter generically produces warm nonzero-momentum modes, so Lyman-alpha free-streaming and isocurvature bounds exclude fa below about 10^14-10^15 GeV (10^-18 eV/ma) for most ultralight axi...
