Massive scalar fields provide excellent dark matter candidates, whose dynamics are often explored analytically and numerically using nonrelativistic Schr{o}dinger-Poisson (SP) equations in a cosmological context. In this paper, starting from the nonlinear and fully relativistic Klein-Gordon-Einstein (KGE) equations in an expanding universe, we provide a systematic framework for deriving the SP equations, as well as relativistic corrections to them, by integrating out `fast modes and including nonlinear metric and matter contributions. We provide explicit equations for the leading-order relativistic corrections, which provide insight into deviations from the SP equations as the system approaches the relativistic regime. Upon including the leading-order corrections, our equations are applicable beyond the domain of validity of the SP system, and are simpler to use than the full KGE case in some contexts. As a concrete application, we calculate the mass-radius relationship of solitons in scalar dark matter and accurately capture the deviations of this relationship from the SP system towards the KGE one.

Self-gravitating quantum matter may exist in a wide range of cosmological and astrophysical settings from the very early universe through to present-day boson stars. Such quantum matter arises in a number of different theories, including the Peccei-Q uinn axion and UltraLight (ULDM) or Fuzzy (FDM) dark matter scenarios. We consider the dynamical evolution of perturbations to the spherically symmetric soliton, the ground state solution to the Schr{o}dinger-Poisson system common to all these scenarios. We construct the eigenstates of the Schr{o}dinger equation, holding the gravitational potential fixed to its ground state value. We see that the eigenstates qualitatively capture the properties seen in full ULDM simulations, including the soliton breathing mode, the random walk of the soliton center, and quadrupolar distortions of the soliton. We then show that the time-evolution of the gravitational potential and its impact on the perturbations can be well described within the framework of time-dependent perturbation theory. Applying our formalism to a synthetic ULDM halo reveals considerable mixing of eigenstates, even though the overall density profile is relatively stable. Our results provide a new analytic approach to understanding the evolution of these systems as well as possibilities for faster approximate simulations.
In this paper, we study a class of Schr{o}dinger-Poisson (SP) systems with general nonlinearity where the nonlinearity does not require Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz and Nehari monotonic conditions. We establish new estimates and explore the associated energ y functional which is coercive and bounded below on Sobolev space. Together with Ekeland variational principle, we prove the existence of ground state solutions. Furthermore, when the `charge function is greater than a fixed positive number, the (SP) system possesses only zero solutions. In particular, when `charge function is radially symmetric, we establish the existence of three positive solutions and the symmetry breaking of ground state solutions.
We examine the consequences of the effective field theory (EFT) of dark matter-nucleon scattering for current and proposed direct detection experiments. Exclusion limits on EFT coupling constants computed using the optimum interval method are present ed for SuperCDMS Soudan, CDMS II, and LUX, and the necessity of combining results from multiple experiments in order to determine dark matter parameters is discussed. We demonstrate that spectral differences between the standard dark matter model and a general EFT interaction can produce a bias when calculating exclusion limits and when developing signal models for likelihood and machine learning techniques. We also discuss the implications of the EFT for the next-generation (G2) direct detection experiments and point out regions of complementarity in the EFT parameter space.
We discuss shallow resonances in the nonrelativistic scattering of two particles using an effective field theory (EFT) that includes an auxiliary field with the quantum numbers of the resonance. We construct the manifestly renormalized scattering amp litude up to next-to-leading order in a systematic expansion. For a narrow resonance, the amplitude is perturbative except in the immediate vicinity of the resonance poles. It naturally has a zero in the low-energy region, analogous to the Ramsauer-Townsend effect. For a broad resonance, the leading-order amplitude is nonperturbative almost everywhere in the regime of validity of the EFT. We regain the results of an EFT without the auxiliary field, which is equivalent to the effective-range expansion with large scattering length and effective range. We also consider an additional fine tuning leading to a low-energy amplitude zero even for a broad resonance. We show that in all cases the requirement of renormalizability when the auxiliary field is not a ghost ensures the resonance poles are in the lower half of the complex momentum plane, as expected by other arguments. The systematic character of the EFT expansion is exemplified with a toy model serving as underlying theory.
We describe non-flat standard Friedmann cosmology of canonical scalar field with barotropic fluid in form of non-linear Schr{o}dinger-type (NLS) formulation in which all cosmological dynamical quantities are expressed in term of Schr{o}dinger quant ities as similar to those in time-independent quantum mechanics. We assume the expansion to be superfast, i.e. phantom expansion. We report all Schr{o}dinger-analogous quantities to scalar field cosmology. Effective equation of state coefficient is analyzed and illustrated. We show that in a non-flat universe, there is no fixed $w_{rm eff}$ value for the phantom divide. In a non-flat universe, even $w_{rm eff} > -1$, the expansion can be phantom. Moreover, in open universe, phantom expansion can happen even with $w_{rm eff} > 0$. We also report scalar field exact solutions within frameworks of the Friedmann formulation and the NLS formulation in non-flat universe cases.
