Abstract

Recently, using Bayesian Machine Learning, a deviation from the cold dark matter model on cosmological scales has been put forward. Such model might replace a proposed non-gravitational interaction between dark energy and dark matter, and help solve the H0H_{0} tension problem. The idea behind the learning procedure relied there on a generated expansion rate, while the real expansion rate was just used to validate the learned results. In the present work, however, the emphasis is put on a Gaussian Process (GP) with the available H(z)H(z) data confirming the possible existence of the already learned deviation. Three cosmological scenarios are considered: a simple one, with equation of state parameter for dark matter ωdm=ω00\omega_{dm} = \omega_{0} \neq 0, and two other models, with corresponding parameters ωdm=ω0+ω1z\omega_{dm} = \omega_{0} + \omega_{1} z and ωdm=ω0+ω1z/(1+z)\omega_{dm} = \omega_{0} + \omega_{1} z/(1+z). The constraints obtained on the free parameters ω0\omega_{0} and ω1\omega_{1} hint towards a dynamical nature of the deviation. The dark energy dynamics is also reconstructed, revealing interesting aspects connected with the H0H_{0} tension problem. It is concluded, however, that improved tools and more data are needed, in order to reach a better understanding of the reported deviation.
