Explaining Dark Matter with torsion

Abstract: In this talk I will explain how the pseudoscalar degree of freedom of the quadratic Poincaré Gauge theory of gravity can act as a dark matter candidate. I will give the parameter space of the theory for which such dark matter candidate can account for all predicted cold dark matter, and constrain such parameters based on current astrophysical observations.
