Axionic Dark Matter in a Bi-Metric Universe

We study the evolution and production of axion dark matter in a universe model with two scale factors corresponding to different patches of the universe. The interaction between patches is described through a deformed Poisson bracket structure. The first part of the present paper is devoted to a rev...

description We study the evolution and production of axion dark matter in a universe model with two scale factors corresponding to different patches of the universe. The interaction between patches is described through a deformed Poisson bracket structure. The first part of the present paper is devoted to a review of the results reported in previous works concerning the study of dark matter as WIMPs and FIMPs. The new results concerning axionic dark matter in this bi-metric scenario show that different values of the deformation parameter <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>κ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> allow values of masses and misalignment angles forbidden in standard cosmology. The present model can also be considered a different type of nonstandard cosmology consistent with previously reported results.
