If Dark Matter nonminimally couples to gravity...

Speaker

Dmitry Gorbunov (Russian Academy of Sciences (RU))

Description

We need Dark Matter to explain lack of gravitational potentials in present and early Universe at various spatial scales. So it must participate in gravitational interactions. Gravity can even produce the Dark Matter while the Universe expands. What changes if the Dark Matter is a substence with non-minimal coupling to gravity? Actually, a variety of options ranging from 'gravity can destroy the dark matter', to 'it can hugely amplify its production'.
