Theory of Dark Matter

Abstract

The search for dark matter is a very wide and active field of research. Many potential hints of dark matter have appeared recently which led to a burst of theoretical activity and model building. I necessarily concentrate here only in some aspects of it. I review here some recent hints and some of the ways in which they could be explained.
