Abstract: (arXiv)
Ultra-light axions are well-motivated fuzzy cold dark matter candidate that provide potential resolutions to various small scale problems faced by conventional heavy particle CDM. To date, great efforts have been made to understand the structure formation in fuzzy dark matter dominated Universe, but existing investigations focused primarily on scenarios involving a single axion copy. String axiverse, on the other hand, motivates the presence of multiple axion copies, each with a distinct mass. In this short article, we attempt to understand the anticipated structure formation in a multi-copy axion universe using linear perturbation theory, and propose a simplified parametrization for the transfer function of multi-copy axions. The latter could be helpful for future simulations to more easily implement the initial condition for each copy of axion.Note:
