摘要
In this paper, the thermal evolution of scalar field dark matter (SFDM) particles at finite cosmological temperatures is studied. Starting with a real SF in a thermal bath and using the one-loop quantum corrections potential, we rewrite Klein-Gordon's equation in its hydrodynamical representation and study the phase transition of this SF due to a Z(2) symmetry breaking of its potential. A very general version of a nonlinear Schrodinger equation is obtained. When introducing Madelung's representation, the continuity and momentum equations for a non-ideal SFDM fluid are formulated, and the cosmological scenario with the SFDM described in analogy to an imperfect fluid is then considered where dissipative contributions are obtained in a natural way. Additional terms appear in the results compared to those in the classical version commonly used to describe the Lambda CDM model, i.e., the ideal fluid. The equations and parameters that characterize the physical properties of the system such as its energy, momentum and viscous flow are related to the temperature of the system, scale factor, Hubble's expansion parameter and the matter energy density. Finally, some details on how galaxy halos and smaller structures might be able to form by condensation of this SF are given.
