Neutron Stars (NSs) are compact stellar objects that are stable solutions in General Relativity. Their internal structure is usually described using an equation of state that involves the presence of ordinary matter and its interactions. However there is now a large consensus that an elusive sector of matter in the universe, described as dark matter, remains as yet undiscovered. In such a case, NSs should contain both, baryonic and dark matter. We argue that depending on the nature of the dark matter and in certain circumstances, the two matter components would form a mixture inside NSs that could trigger further changes, some of them observable. The very existence of NSs constrains the nature and interactions of dark matter in the universe.

We attempt to answer whether neutrinos and antineutrinos, such as those in the cosmic neutrino background, would clusterize among themselves or even with other dark-matter particles, under certain time span, say 1 Gyr. With neutrino masses in place, the similarity with the ordinary matter increases and so is our confidence for neutrino clustering if time is long enough. In particular, the clusterings could happen with some seeds (cf. see the text for definition), the chance in the dark-matter world to form dark-matter galaxies increases. If the dark-matter galaxies would exist in a time span of 1 Gyr, then they might even dictate the formation of the ordinary galaxies (i.e. the dark-matter galaxies get formed first); thus, the implications for the structure of our Universe would be tremendous.

Mirror (shadow) particles are required to restore symmetry between left- and right-handed coordinate systems. If mirror world exists, it has been born at the same time as the ordinary world and has the same evolution (in the case of the shadow world - broken mirror symmetry, the evolution and structure of the shadow world does not correspond with the observed world). Mirror world is a kind of dark matter. According to Bahcall (1984) local dark matter has a density approximately equal to the density of observed (ordinary) matter.

The basic methods of searching for dark matter candidates are discussed. The main topics of this talk are: (a) ground - based cavity experiments with searching for galactic axions; (b) searching for hadronic axion decay line into galactic and extragalactic light; (c) experimental search for solar and stellar axions; (d) basic methods of searching for WIMPs as candidates into dark matter; (e) limits on axion and WIMP masses and their coupling constants to photons and ordinary matter; (f) novels of searching for nonbaryonic dark matter.

We elaborate the possibility for a deformed extra space to be considered as the dark matter candidate. To perform calculations, a class of two-dimensional extra metrics was considered in the framework of the multidimensional gravity. It was shown that there exists a family of stationary metrics of the extra space possessing point-like defect. Estimation of cross-section of scattering of a particle of the ordinary matter on a spatial domain with deformed extra space is in agreement with the observational constraints.

ABSTRACT By theorizing the physical reality through the deformation of an arbitrary cross-ratio, we leverage Galois differential theory to describe the dynamics of isomonodromic integratable system. We found a new description of curvature of spacetime by the equivalency of isomonodromic integratable system and Penrose’s spinor formalism of general relativity. Using such description, we hypothetically quantize the curvature of spacetime (gravity) and apply to the problem of the evolution of the universe. The Friedmann equation is recovered and compared so that the mathematical relationship among dark energy, matter (dark matter + ordinary matter), and ordinary matter, ΩM2≃4ΩbΩΛ, is derived; the actual observed results are compared to this equation (calculated ΩM = 0.33 vs. observed ΩM = 0.31); the model might explain the origin of dark energy and dark matter of the evolution of the universe.

In this paper, we show a unifying description to the dark matter and dark energy. This description does not demand dark energy with the anti-gravitational property. It also points out a lower limit of the average mass of the particles of cosmological energy (ordinary matter, dark matter and dark energy particles) \(\bar{m}\gg 54\) eV. The coincident problem between the density of dark energy and one of matter is a clear fact.
