Can light dark matter solve the core-cusp problem?

Recently, there has been much interest in light dark matter, especially ultralight axions, as they may provide a solution to the core-cusp problem at the center of galaxies. Since very light bosons can have a de Broglie wavelength that is of astrophysical size, they can smooth out the centers of gal...
