Dark matter in quantum gravity
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 13:53 authored by Xavier CalmetXavier Calmet, Boris LatoshWe show that quantum gravity, whatever its ultra-violet completion might be, could account for dark matter. Indeed, besides the massless gravitational field recently observed in the form of gravitational waves, the spectrum of quantum gravity contains two massive fields respectively of spin 2 and spin 0. If these fields are long-lived, they could easily account for dark matter. In that case, dark matter would be very light and only gravitationally coupled to the standard model particles.
