We review theories of Asymmetric Dark Matter (ADM), their cosmological implications and detection. While there are many models of ADM in the literature, our review of existing models will center on highlighting the few common features and important mechanisms for generation and transfer of the matter–anti-matter asymmetry between dark and visible sectors. We also survey ADM hidden sectors, the calculation of the relic abundance for ADM, and how the DM asymmetry may be erased at late times through oscillations. We consider cosmological constraints on ADM from the cosmic microwave background, neutron stars, the Sun, and brown and white dwarves. Lastly, we review indirect and direct detection methods for ADM, collider signatures, and constraints.

- `Skinny Milky Way please', says Sagittarius (2014, background): “…feedback does not appear to solve the problem entirely (Garrison-Kimmel et al. 2013), so many researchers have interpreted this as evidence for changing the nature of the dark matter particle to warm (Lovell et al. 2012) or selfinteracting (Vogelsberger et al. 2012) or asymmetric (Zurek 2014).”
