The Logotropic Dark Fluid As A Unification of Dark Matter and Dark Energy
The Logotropic Dark Fluid As A Unification of Dark Matter and Dark Energy
Pierre-Henri Chavanis
Laboratoire de Physique Théorique, Université Paul Sabatier, 118 route de Narbonne 31062 Toulouse, France
We propose a heuristic unification of dark matter and dark energy in terms of a single “dark
fluid” with a logotropic equation of state P = A ln(ρ/ρP ), where ρ is the rest-mass density, ρP =
5.16 × 1099 g m−3 is the Planck density, and A is the logotropic temperature. The energy density
is the sum of a rest-mass energy term ρc2 mimicking dark matter and an internal energy term
u(ρ) = −P (ρ) − A mimicking dark energy. The logotropic temperature is approximately given by
A ' ρΛ c2 / ln(ρP /ρΛ ) ' ρΛ c2 /[123 ln(10)], where ρΛ = 6.72×10−24 g m−3 is the cosmological density
and 123 is the famous number appearing in the ratio ρP /ρΛ ∼ 10123 between the Planck density
and the cosmological density. More precisely, we obtain A = 2.13 × 10−9 g m−1 s−2 that we interpret

as a fundamental constant. At the cosmological scale, this model fullfills the same observational
constraints as the ΛCDM model (they will differ in about 25 Gyrs when the logotropic universe
becomes phantom). However, the logotropic dark fluid has a nonzero speed of sound and a nonzero
Jeans length which, at the beginning of the matter era, is about λJ = 40.4 pc, in agreement with
the minimum size of the dark matter halos observed in the universe. At the galactic scale, the
logotropic pressure balances gravitational attraction and solves the cusp problem and the missing
satellite problem. The logotropic equation of state generates a universal rotation curve that agrees
with the empirical Burkert profile of dark matter halos up to the halo radius. In addition, it implies
that all the dark matter halos have the same surface density Σ0 = ρ0 rh = 141 M /pc2 and that

M300 = 1.93 × 107 M , in remarkable agreement with the observations. It also implies the Tully-
Fisher relation Mb /vh4 = 44M km−4 s4 . We stress that there is no free parameter in our model
(we predict the values of Σ0 , M300 and Mb /vh4 in terms of fundamental constants). We sketch
a justification of the logotropic equation of state in relation to the Cardassian model (motivated
by the existence of extra-dimensions) and in relation to Tsallis generalized thermodynamics. We
also develop a scalar field theory based on a Gross-Pitaevskii equation with an inverted quadratic
