High Energy Physics Seminar - Juri Smirnov (The Ohio State University) - "Dark Matter Meets Quantum Gravity"

We search for an extension of the Standard Model that contains a viable dark matter candidate and that can be embedded into a fundamental, asymptotically safe, quantum field theory with quantum gravity. Demanding asymptotic safety leads to boundary conditions for the non-gravitational couplings at the Planck scale. For a given dark matter model these translate into constraints on the mass and interaction strength of the dark matter candidate.
