| Abstract: | The problem of dark matter in astrophysics is discussed. As the probable hypothesis about the nature of dark matter the suggestion is examined that it consists of light hypothetical elementary particles which are predicted in the frame of united gauge theories, supersymmetry and supergravity. The new restrictions are obtained on the constants of long-range forces decreasing with distance by the degree low. The different restrictions are analysed on the characteristics of constituents of dark matter obtained from the gravitational experiments, Casimir effect and atomic force microscopy. |
