MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) is one, though it has quite a few problems, as you can read here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Newtonian_dynamics Another interesting one is Superfluid Dark Matter (first proposed, to my knowledge, here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1507.01019). Those are just a few, there are probably more theories that I haven't heard about. Whatever the case, Sabine Hossenfelder recently posted three videos about Dark Matter/MOND/Superfluid Dark Matter that I wholeheartedly recommend: Dark Matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN2d2cmi_Gk MOND…

They're pretty much entirely unrelated. In http://arxiv.org/abs/1507.01019 the authors lean on research into axions as extensions to the Standard Model and on Bose Einstein Condensate research in ordinary matter, and proposes a temperature (~ 1 mK) below which the light axion-like gas condenses into a superfluid. It's firmly rooted in General Relativity and is proposed as an ordinary matter field in the GR sense. The field content feels and generates curvature just like all the fields in the Standard Model. Its non-removable vacuum background is the standard four-dimensional smooth connected…
