Halos profiles are too steep in central parts AND this contradicts observations

Hierarchical clustering models predict hundreds of satellite galaxies AND this contradicts observations

 

This all has one root:      

                                                          

   Too much power on small scales

 

 

 

Modifications of dark matter

Cut-off in the power spectrum: if it makes troubles - chop it off
