Dark matter as higher-form fields
Cypris Plantier
Among the crowd of dark matter candidates, light scalar and vector particles have been the focus of intense theoretical and experimental investigations over the past 15 years. Howe…

Dark higher-form fields and triangle anomalies
Cypris Plantier, Christopher Smith
Light scalar and vector particles admit non-trivial descriptions in terms of anti-symmetric higher-rank tensor fields. Far from mere rewritings, these provide compelling alternativ…

Dark higher-form portals and duality
Cypris Plantier, Christopher Smith
Light scalar or vector particles are among the most studied dark matter candidates. Yet, those are always described as scalar or vector fields. In this paper, we explore instead th…
