Description

We study a mechanism to make dark matter stable based on the Pauli blocking in the fermion background. In the background where fermions occupy the states, the decay of dark matter to those final states is not allowed, as a result, DM becomes stable.
We derive the evolution equations of the distribution function in the quantum field theory and compare it with the Boltzmann equation.
We apply this mechanism to a realistic model of neutrino and dark matter.
