Dark Matter as a consequence of electric charge non-conservation - will it remain dark forever?

TL;DR

The paper proposes a novel cosmological model where dark matter originates from neutral particles surviving inflation due to gravitational coupling, with charge non-conservation explaining the absence of luminous properties and the separation from ordinary matter.

Contribution

It introduces a new theoretical framework linking charge non-conservation during inflation to the origin and nature of dark matter, explaining its non-luminous character and the existence of two matter types.

Findings

Dark matter particles are hypothesized to be neutral and produced before inflation.

Charge non-conservation during inflation leads to the disappearance of charged particles.

Produced particles have masses too large for current detection methods.

Abstract

It is conjectured that dark matter (DM) was produced before inflation from neutral particles present after the Big Bang and survived inflation due to a specific coupling with gravitation, while the charged particles existing after the Big Bang disappeared during inflation in a process of charge non-conservation. Ordinary matter was produced at a later stage at a lower temperature following a symmetry restoring phase transition. In this way the non-luminous character of dark matter and the existence of two types of matter, ordinary and dark, get a natural explanation. Because of the high temperatures preceding inflation, the masses of particles produced during that time are too large to be detected by conventional particle physics methods and possibly will never be detected.
