What is “fuzzy dark matter”?

▶ F(C)DM, BECDM, ULDM, ELBDM, 𝜓DM, quantum-wave DM,


(ultra-light) axion(-like) DM (ULA, ALP)…
▶ New extremely light scalar particle (𝑚 ≈ 𝟣𝟢−𝟤𝟤 𝖾𝖵!)
▶ Non-thermal production mechanism (thus not ultra-hot)
▶ Aggregations of bosons can form a Bose–Einstein condensate
▶ Quantum effects counteract gravity at small scales (uncertainty
principle), erase structure
▶ Tiny mass
⇒ large de Broglie wavelength (𝜆 ∼ 1/𝑚)
⇒ macroscopic quantum effects on kpc scales

Motivation for fuzzy dark matter
Particle physics perspective:
▶ Original concept – strong CP problem:
Why doesn’t QCD violate CP symmetry?
▶ Solved by Peccei–Quinn U(1) symmetry
and (pseudo-)scalar field (axion!)
Peccei and Quinn (1977)!
▶ Fuzzy dark matter is not the QCD axion, but axion-like particles
are a common feature of early-universe theories
Astrophysics perspective:
▶ Small-scale challenges (cusp–core, missing satellites, …)
→ Ultra-light scalars: WIMP alternative, could improve this
𝑚𝜒
wrong LSS CDM-like
10−23 eV 10−22 eV 10−21 eV
▶ No sign of (WIMP) CDM

Schrödinger–Poisson vs. Madelung formulation
The choice

Madelung formulation:
▶ Simple to add to existing hydrodynamics codes
▶ Hydrodynamic interpretation
But:
▶ Validity unclear
▶ Quantum potential/pressure is computationally challenging
(third derivative of density!)
▶ Schrödinger–Poisson implementation actually not so difficult
(depending on the method)
→ stick with Schrödinger–Poisson wave function

Soliton solutions to the FDM equations
▶ Spherical symmetry & time-independent density profile:

𝜓(𝑡, 𝑥)⃗ → 𝑒𝑖𝛽𝑡 𝑓(𝑟), Φ(𝑡, 𝑥)⃗ → 𝜑(𝑟) (𝜑(𝑟)


̃ = 𝜑(𝑟) + 𝛽)

▶ SP equations reduce to

̃
2 𝑟

0 = 𝜑̃ ″ (𝑟) + 𝜑̃ ′ (𝑟) − 4𝜋𝑓(𝑟)2

All constants can be “absorbed”!
▶ Solve numerically using 𝑓(0) = 𝛼, 𝑓 ′ (0) = 𝜑̃ ′ (0) = 0,
𝑟→∞
𝜑(𝑟) −−−→ − 𝑟𝑐

▶ Given solution 𝑒𝑖𝛽𝑡 𝑓(𝑟), 𝑔(𝑟) = 𝑒𝑖𝛼𝛽𝑡 𝛼𝑓( 𝛼𝑟) is also a solution

▶ Solitons only have a single parameter: 𝛼
Can be expressed through soliton mass or radius
▶ 𝑀c ∼ 𝑚12 𝑟 ⇒ more massive cores are smaller

Why is it hard to simulate FDM?
Computational challenges

▶ Tiny mass ↔ macroscopic quantum


effects, de Broglie wavelength of
galactic scale
▶ Both large scales and de Broglie scale
must be resolved for correct evolution
(sub-kpc cores can form)
▶ Time step criterion: Δ𝑡 ∼ Δ𝑥2
(seems to be approach-independent)

▶ Tooling: Hydrodynamics codes are


designed for 𝑁-body simulations

Schive, Chiueh, and Broadhurst (2014)


Simon May 14 / 29
Plans for future numerical methods

▶ Disadvantage of pseudo-spectral method: uniform mesh, lacks


adaptivity
→ large high-resolution simulations are expensive/infeasible
▶ Plan for improved methods:
▶ Investigate hybrid methods
▶ Perhaps adapt AREPO’s moving mesh for FDM
→ need second derivative on irregular mesh with minimal noise
▶ Goal: full cosmological simulations with baryons
(hydrodynamics)

First combined simulation of FDM with baryons & stars

▶ 10243 FDM cells ⇒ Δ𝑥 = 𝟣.𝟨𝟨ℎ−1 𝗄𝗉𝖼
▶ 5123 baryon cells
▶ Runtime: ≈ 𝟥 × 𝟣𝟢𝟨 CPU h, 𝟤𝟢× CDM run with
5123 + 5123 particles/cells
▶ Baryonic models still calibrated for CDM!

Simon May 27 / 29
Outlook
Conclusions from my own work so far:
▶ Cosmological FDM simulations seem to give sensible results, in
agreement with CDM for limiting cases
▶ Working with “big” data (simulations) requires time/effort
▶ Central problem of static pseudo-spectral method: limited
resolution/box size!
▶ Both memory and run-time cost

Still to do:
▶ Pushing the pseudo-spectral method to its limits with the
largest cosmological FDM simulations so far (current largest:
≈ 2.5 Mpc)
▶ Surpassing the limitations of uniform grids using hybrid or
adaptive schemes?
▶ Combination with baryons

Simon May 28 / 29
Short summary of the main problems for simulations

1. Time integration Δ𝑡 ∼ Δ𝑥2


2. Rapid oscillations even in low-density regions since velocity
corresponds to the gradient of the phase (→ velocity criterion)
3. Large dynamic range: “large”-scale structure simulations still
require resolving de Broglie wavelength
4. “New” field without decades of experience or refined
codes/methods as for CDM
