Primordial dark matter from curvature induced symmetry breaking
JOURNAL OF COSMOLOGY AND ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS(2020)
摘要
We demonstrate that adiabatic dark matter can be generated by gravity induced symmetry breaking during inflation. We study a Z(2) symmetric scalar singlet that couples to other fields only through gravity and for which the symmetry is broken by the space-time curvature during inflation when the non-minimal coupling xi is negative. We find that the symmetry breaking leads to the formation of adiabatic dark matter with the observed abundance for the singlet mass m similar to MeV and vertical bar xi vertical bar similar to 1.
