Description

We present from the Schwinger-Keldysh path integral formalism, equations for bosonic, non-relativistic and self-interacting dark matter. The equations can describe a two-fluid system composed of a coherent and an incoherent mixture, encompassing both CDM and Fuzzy Dark Matter in a unified way. The model incorporates new terms, such as the Lee-Huang-Yang correction, known in Cold Atom Physics, and we show that the interplay between these two fluids has significant effects on the current observational bounds for Fuzzy Dark Matter and structure formation.
