Constraints on prospective deviations from the cold dark matter model using a Gaussian Process
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 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 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 , and two other models, with corresponding parameters and . The constraints obtained on the free parameters and hint towards a dynamical nature of the deviation. The dark energy dynamics is also reconstructed, revealing interesting aspects connected with the 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.
