## Abstract

A series of brief reviews collected in the present issue present various candidates for cosmological Dark Matter (DM) predicted by models of particle physics. The range from superlight axions to extended objects is covered. Though the possible list of candidates is far from complete it gives the flavor of the extensive field of Dark matter particle physics.
