The nature of the cosmological dark matter (DM) remains elusive. Recent studies have advocated the possibility that DM could be composed of ultra-light, self-interacting bosons, forming a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) in the very early Universe. We consider models which are charged under a global U(1)-symmetry such that the DM number is conserved. It can then be described as a classical complex scalar field which evolves in an expanding Universe. We present a brief review on the bounds on the model parameters from cosmological and galactic observations, along with the properties of galactic halos which result from such a DM candidate.

Abstract We present the general form of the renormalizable four-point interactions of a complex scalar field furnishing an irreducible representation of SU(2), and derive a set of algebraic identities that facilitates the calculation of higher-order radiative corrections. As an application, we calculate the two-loop beta function for the SM extended by a scalar multiplet, and provide the result explicitly in terms of the group invariants. Our results include the evolution of the Higgs-portal couplings, as well as scalar “minimal dark matter”. We present numerical results for the two-loop evolution of the various couplings.

We discuss a possibility of universally producing dark matter and baryon charge at inflation. For this purpose, we introduce a complex scalar field with the mass exceeding the Hubble rate during the last e-folds of inflation. We assume that the phase of the complex scalar is linearly coupled to the inflaton. This interaction explicitly breaking U(1)-symmetry leads to the production of a non-zero Noether charge. The latter serves as a source of dark matter abundance, or baryon asymmetry, if the complex scalar carries the baryon charge.
