Bose-Einstein Condesates as Galactic Dark Matter Halos Tonatiuh Matos, F. Siddhartha Guzman, Luis Ureña, Dario Nuñez, Argelia Bernal. Inflation + CDM Model = Cosmology Galaxies Formation
Problems with the CDM Model Dark Energy: Extreme fine tuning for Coincidence Dark Matter: Cuspy central density profiles Too much substructure Too late galaxy formation Too early metalicity formation Etc.
The Model Examples: Braneword Scenario Superstrings V f 1 exp( ) + f 2 exp(- ) + … V = V 0 [cosh( ) – 1] H 2 = 8 /(3M pl 2 ) (1 + / b ) Inflation graceful exit BBN Cosmology Fix the free constants.
The Cosmology T. Matos and L. Ureña, Class. Q. Grav. 17(2000)L75 Dark Matter: V 0 [cosh( ) –1] Dark Energy: Baryons, Neutrinos, etc. 0.25 0.7 b 0.05

Natural Cut-off
Summarizing SFDM model is insensitive to initial conditions Behaves as CDM Reproduces all the successes CDM above galactic scales. Predicts a sharp cut-off in the mass power spectrum The favored values for the two free parameters 20 V 0 (3 M pl ) 4 m eV
