One remarkable property is that symplectic gauge fields only have minimal couplings with gravitational fields and not with any other field of the Standard Model. Interactions with ordinary matter and radiation can only arise from radiative corrections. In spite of the gauge nature of symplectic fields they acquire a mass by the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism which generates Higgs-like mass terms where the gravitational field is playing the role of a Higgs field. Massive symplectic gauge fields weakly interacting with ordinary matter are natural candidates for the dark matter component of the Universe. 000041809 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FPA2012-35453$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/CPAN-CSD2007-00042$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E24-2$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/COST/MP1405-QSPACE 000041809 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000041809 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000041809 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-3669-6241$$aAsorey, M.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000041809 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-1171-8304$$aGarcía-Álvarez, D.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000041809 7102_ $$14000$$2415$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDepartamento de Análisis Económico$$cFundamentos del Análisis Económico 000041809 7102_ $$12004$$2405$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDepartamento de Física Teórica$$cFísica Teórica 000041809 773__ $$g92, 10 (2015), 103517 [7 pp]$$pPhys. rev., D Part. fields gravit. cosmol.$$tPHYSICAL REVIEW.
