“…On the other hand, dark matter is one of the main known problems of physics. Many astrophysical searches are being carried out (see, e.g., [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] for reviews). The possible production of dark matter particles by accelerators (see, e.g., [22,23] for reviews) is also actively considered.…”

The holographic space-time approach to inflation provides a well defined and self-contained framework to study the early universe. Based on a quasi-local quantum gravity theory generalizing string theory beyond AdS backgrounds, it addresses fundamental questions like the arrow of time and the entropy of the initial cosmological state. It was recently argued that it also provides a naturel explanation for dark matter in the form of primordial black holes. The orignal idea however suffers from troubles that can be cured by considering instead Planck relics. This possibility is investigated and paths for observational confirmation are pointed out.

“…Dark matter is a very old problem. On the experimental side, it is being actively searched for, by direct detection (see, e.g., [1][2][3] for reviews), by indirect detection (see, e.g., [4][5][6] for reviews), and by accelerator production (see, e.g., [7,8] for reviews). Many "little anomalies" are known, from the Fermi excess of GeV gamma-rays [9] to the PAMELA and AMS-02 over-abundance of positrons [10][11][12].…”

Dark matter as Planck relics without too exotic hypotheses

et al. 2019

The idea that dark matter could be made of stable relics of microscopic black holes is not new. In this article, we revisit this hypothesis, focusing on the creation of black holes by the scattering of trans-planckian particles in the early universe. The only new physics required in this approach is an unusually high energy scale for inflation. We show that dark matter emerges naturally and we study the question of fine-tuning. We finally give some lines of thoughts for a possible detection.

“…For reviews on DM and on its detection searches see e.g. [5][6][7][8][9] The collisionless DM paradigm based on weakly interacting massive particles 10 works very well on large (cosmological) scales (≥ M pc), but encounters several problems at low (galactic) scales, like the core-cusp problem, the diversity problem, the missing satellites problem and the too-big-to-fail problem. 11 Self-interacting DM was introduced long time ago 12 in an effort to resolve, or at least to alleviate, the small scale crisis of collisionless DM.…”
