Description
Scalar dark matter is all the rage these days in particle cosmology. In this talk, I will describe efforts to understand scalar dark matter systems that may display Bose-Einstein condensate-like behavior. Is it an analogy? How far does it go? I show that this BEC-like state has implications for astrophysical observations, and I will discuss challenges associated with trying to understand out of equilibrium dynamics in these systems.
