We summarize recent developments in the use of spectral methods for analyzing large numbers of orbits in N-body simulations to obtain insights into the global phase space structure of dark matter halos. The fundamental frequencies of oscillation of orbits can be used to understand the physical mechanism by which the shapes of dark matter halos evolve in response to the growth of central baryonic components. Halos change shape primarily because individual orbits change their shapes adiabatically in response to the growth of a baryonic component, with those at small radii become preferentially rounder. Chaotic scattering of orbits occurs only when the central point mass is very compact and is equally effective for centrophobic long-axis tube orbits as it is for centrophilic box orbits.
Dissipative dark matter self-interactions can affect halo evolution and change its structure. We perform a series of controlled N-body simulations to study impacts of the dissipative interactions on halo properties. The interplay between gravitationa
We use N-body simulations to investigate the radial dependence of the density and velocity dispersion in cold dark matter (CDM) halos. In particular, we explore how closely Q rho/sigma^3, a surrogate measure of the phase-space density, follows a powe
We have performed a series of numerical experiments to investigate how the primordial thermal velocities of fermionic dark matter particles affect the physical and phase space density profiles of the dark matter haloes into which they collect. The in
The primordial velocity dispersion of dark matter is small compared to the velocities attained during structure formation. The initial density distribution is close to uniform and it occupies an initial sheet in phase space that is single valued in v
A self-interacting dark matter halo can experience gravothermal collapse, resulting in a central core with an ultrahigh density. It can further contract and collapse into a black hole, a mechanism proposed to explain the origin of supermassive black
