We explore the connection between the two and show that they belong to the same class of models, which admits the caustic free completion by means of the canonical complex scalar field. Specifically, the free massive/self-interacting complex scalar reproduces dynamics of pressureless perfect fluid/shift-symmetric k-essence under certain initial conditions in the limit of large mass/sharp self-interacting potential. We elucidate a mechanism of resolving caustic singularities in the complete picture. Speaker2: Eung Jin Chun (KIAS) Title: Dark matter in Supersymmetric Axion Models Abstract: The strong CP problem is nicely resolved by the Peccei-Quinn mechanism which predicts a light pseudo-Goldstone boson, the axion. It is a dark matter candidate whose abundance is produced through the misalignment. In supersymmetric theories, the fermionic partner of the axion, the axino, is another dark matter candidate and can alter the standard features of a neutralino dark matter candidate. In this talk, we discuss cosmological and phenomenological properties of the axion supermultiplet and its impact on the dark matter physics. &br; |
