Abstract

Within the Teoría Unificada de Flor (TUF), dark matter candidates arise naturally as excited holonomy modes in the compactified fifth dimension S1. These excitations carry non-zero winding numbers but lack electromagnetic coupling, making them gravitationally interacting but electromagnetically invisible. We derive mass predictions for excited modes, compute decay rates via instanton calculations, integrate over NFW halo profiles, and constrain the number of excited modes from anomaly cancellation conditions. The framework makes falsifiable predictions distinguishing TUF dark matter from standard WIMP and axion scenarios.
