Dark Matter from a gas of wormholes

TL;DR

This paper models spacetime as a foam of static wormholes, demonstrating that such a topology induces dark matter-like halos around sources, with properties depending on the local inhomogeneity of the wormhole distribution.

Contribution

It introduces a classical spacetime foam model with wormholes that explains dark matter phenomena through topological bias effects.

Findings

Dark halos emerge from wormhole-induced topological bias.

Halo properties depend on local inhomogeneity of wormhole distribution.

Homogeneous wormhole structures lead to uniform source renormalization.

Abstract

The simplistic model of the classical spacetime foam is considered, which consists of static wormholes embedded in Minkowski spacetime. We explicitly demonstrate that such a foam structure leads to a topological bias of point-like sources which can equally be interpreted as the presence of a dark halo around any point source. It is shown that a non-trivial halo appears on scales where the topological structure possesses a local inhomogeneity, while the homogeneous structure reduces to a constant renormalization of the intensity of sources. We also show that in general dark halos possess both (positive and negative) signs depending on scales and specific properties of topological structure of space.
