Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 11Geometric dark matter(IOP Publishing, 2020) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Puliçe, BeyhanThe dark matter, needed for various phenomena ranging from flat rotation curves to structure formation, seems to be not only neutral and long-living but also highly secluded from the ordinary matter. Here we show that, metric-affine gravity, which involves metric tensor and affine connection as two independent fields, dynamically reduces, in its minimal form, to the usual gravity plus a massive vector field. The vector, which interacts with only the quarks, leptons and gravity, is neutral and long-living (longer than the age of the Universe) when its mass range is 9.4 MeV < M-Y < 28.4 MeV. Its scattering cross section from nucleons, which is some 60 orders of magnitude below the current bounds, is too small to facilitate direct detection of the dark matter. This property provides an explanation for whys and hows of dark matter searches. We show that due to its geometrical origin the Y(mu )does not couple to scalars and gauge bosons. It couples only to fermions. This very feature of the Y-mu it makes it fundamentally different than all the other vector dark matter candidates in the literature. The geometrical dark matter we present is minimal and self-consistent not only theoretically but also astrophysically in that its feebly interacting nature is all that is needed for its longevity.Master Thesis Spacetime Compactification Induced by Scalar Fields(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2006) Puliçe, Beyhan; Demir, Durmuş Ali; Puliçe, Beyhan; Demir, Durmuş AliThis thesis work is devoted to a discussion of spacetime compactification via scalar fields. We first provide an introduction to basic concepts and mecanisms, and review existing compactification methods. We then review and discuss spacetime compactification triggered by non-linear sigma model fields. We study spacetime compactification via a single scalar field by requiring scalar field in higher dimensions to gravitate only in a subset of dimensions. For this purpose we first review fully non-gravitating scalar field configurations and then determine conditions and mecanisms for obtaining a partially gravitating scalar field. In each case Ricci and hence energy-momentum tensor of the scalar field vanishes completely or partially though this does not imply or reqire scalar field itself to vanish. By making use of the partially-gravitating scalar fields, we discuss how spacetime dimensions get compactified if the scalar field gravitates in those dimensions, only. We illustrate how this mechanism works in special cases, like generating a constant-curvature manifold of extra dimensions.Doctoral Thesis Gauged and Geometric Vector Fields at the Mev Scale(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Puliçe, Beyhan; Demir, Durmuş AliIn this thesis, we have studied gauged and geometric vector fields at the MeV scale in two main parts. The basic framework of these two parts are given briefly as follows. In the first part (Chapter \ref{chapter-U(1)}), we have built a family-nonuniversal $U(1)^\prime$ model populated by an MeV-scale sector with a minimal new field content which explains the recent anomalous beryllium decays. Excited beryllium has been observed to decay into electron-positron pairs with a $6.8~\sigma$ anomaly. The process is properly explained by a $17$ MeV proto-phobic vector boson. In this thesis, we consider a family-nonuniversal $U(1)^{\prime}$ that is populated by the $U(1)^{\prime}$ gauge boson $Z^\prime$ and a scalar field $S$. The kinetic mixing of $Z^\prime$ with the hypercharge gauge boson, as we show by a detailed analysis, generates the observed beryllium anomaly. We show that beryllium anomaly can be explained by an MeV-scale sector with a minimal new field content. In the second part (Chapter \ref{chapter-GDM}), we have shown how a light vector particle can arise from metric-affine gravity and how this particle fits the current data and constraints on the dark matter. We show that, metric-affine gravity , which involves metric tensor and affine connection as two independent fields, dynamically reduces, in its minimal form, to the usual gravity plus a massive vector field. The vector $Y_\mu$ is neutral and long-living when its mass range lies in the range $9.4\ {\rm MeV} < M_Y < 28.4\ {\rm MeV}$. Its scattering cross section from nucleons, which is some 60 orders of magnitude below the current bounds, is too small to facilitate direct detection of the dark matter. This property provides an explanation for whys and hows of dark matter searches. We show that due to its geometrical origin the $Y_\mu$ couples only to fermions. This very feature of the $Y_\mu$ makes it fundamentally different than all the other vector dark matter candidates in the literature. The geometrical dark matter we present is minimal and self-consistent not only theoretically but also astrophysically in that its feebly interacting nature is all that is needed for its longevity.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Non-Gravitating Scalars and Spacetime Compactification(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Puliçe, BeyhanWe discuss role of partially gravitating scalar fields, scalar fields whose energy-momentum tensors vanish for a subset of dimensions, in dynamical compactification of a given set of dimensions. We show that the resulting spacetime exhibits a factorizable geometry consisting of usual four-dimensional spacetime with full Poincaré invariance times a manifold of extra dimensions whose size and shape are determined by the scalar field dynamics. Depending on the strength of its coupling to the curvature scalar, the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of the scalar field may or may not vanish. When its VEV is zero the higher-dimensional spacetime is completely flat and there is no compactification effect at all. On the other hand, when its VEV is nonzero the extra dimensions get spontaneously compactified. The compactification process is such that a bulk cosmological constant is utilized for curving the extra dimensions.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9A Family-nonuniversal U(1)′ model for excited beryllium decays(Elsevier, 2021) Puliçe, BeyhanExcited beryllium has been observed to decay into electron-positron pairs with a 6.8 sigma anomaly. The process is properly explained by a 17 MeV proto-phobic vector boson. In present work, we consider a family-nonuniversal U(1)' that is populated by a U(1)' gauge boson Z ' and a scalar field S, charged under U(1)' and singlet under the Standard Model (SM) gauge symmetry. The SM chiral fermion and scalar fields are charged under U(1)' and we provide them to satisfy the anomaly-free conditions. The Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix is reproduced correctly by higher-dimension Yukawa interactions facilitated by S. The vector and axial-vector current couplings of the Z ' boson to the first generation of fermions do satisfy all the bounds from the various experimental data. The Z ' boson can have kinetic mixing with the hypercharge gauge boson and S can directly couple to the SM-like Higgs field. The kinetic mixing of Z ' with the hypercharge gauge boson, as we show by a detailed analysis, generates the observed beryllium anomaly. We find that beryllium anomaly can be properly explained by a MeV-scale sector with a minimal new field content. The minimal model we construct forms a framework in which various anomalous SM decays can be discussed.
