Scalar field dark matter with a cosh potential, revisited

Dark matter models in which the constituent particle is an ultra-light boson have become part of the mainstream discussion in cosmology and astrophysics. At the classical level, the models are represented by the dynamics of a (real or complex) scalar field endowed with a potential that contains its self-interactions, and for this reason are generically known as scalar field dark matter models. Here, we revisit the properties of such a model with...
