Some properties of dark matter field in the complex octonion space

Abstract: The paper aims to consider the electromagnetic adjoint-field in the complex octonion space as the dark matter field, describing some properties of dark matter, especially the origin, particle category, existence region, and force and so forth. Since J. C. Maxwell applied the algebra of quaternions to depict the electromagnetic theory, some scholars adopt the complex quaternion and octonion to study the physics property of electromagnetic and gravitational fields. In the paper, by means of the octonion operator, it is found that the gravitational field accompanies with one adjoint-field, which property is partly similar to that of electromagnetic field. And the electromagnetic field accompanies with another adjoint-field, which feature is partly similar to that of gravitational field. As a result the electromagnetic adjoint-field is able to be chosen as one candidate of the dark matter field. According to the electromagnetic adjoint-field, it is able to predict a few properties of dark matter, for instance, the particle category, interaction intensity, interaction distance, and existence region and so forth. The study reveals that the dark matter particle and gravitational resource both will be influenced by the gravitational strength and force. The dark matter field is capable of making a contribution to physics quantities of gravitational field, including the angular momentum, torque, energy, and force and so on. Further there may be comparatively more chances to discover the dark matter in some regions with the ultrastrong field strength, surrounding the neutral star, white dwarf, galactic nucleus, black hole, and astrophysical jet and so on.
