Cosmological dynamics of interacting dark matter-dark energy in generalized Rastall gravity
Abstract
In this work, we investigate late-time interacting cosmologies within the framework of generalized Rastall gravity, where the interaction arises naturally from the non-conservation of the energy-momentum tensor. We formulate the background evolution of the dark sector as an autonomous dynamical system, defining interaction terms and , with a constant parameter and a time-dependent function. Three interaction cases are studied: , , and , assuming a constant dark-energy equation of state . For each scenario, we derive the closed dynamical system in terms of the density parameters , identify its fixed points, and analyze their stability across the parameter space. In this context, the phase-space exhibits a standard cosmological dynamics: an unstable radiation point, a transient matter saddle, and a stable late-time attractor with accelerated expansion. In addition, we utilize a joint likelihood analysis with Cosmic Chronometers, PantheonPlus, and DESI data to obtain marginalized parameter estimates at the and confidence levels, constraining the parameter space in each interaction model.
