Abstract

We study dynamics of cosmological models with diffusion effects modeling dark matter and dark energy interactions. We show the simple model with diffusion between the cosmological constant sector and dark matter, where the canonical scaling law of dark matter (ρdm,0a3(t))(\rho_{dm,0}a^{-3}(t)) is modified by an additive ϵ(t)=γta3(t)\epsilon(t)=\gamma t a^{-3}(t) to the form ρdm=ρdm,0a3(t)+ϵ(t)\rho_{dm}=\rho_{dm,0}a^{-3}(t)+\epsilon(t). We reduced this model to the autonomous dynamical system and investigate it using dynamical system methods. This system possesses a two-dimensional invariant submanifold on which the DM-DE interaction can be analyzed on the phase plane. The state variables are density parameter for matter (dark and visible) and parameter δ\delta characterizing the rate of growth of energy transfer between the dark sectors. A corresponding dynamical system belongs to a general class of jungle type of cosmologies represented by coupled cosmological models in a Lotka-Volterra framework. We demonstrate that the de Sitter solution is a global attractor for all trajectories in the phase space and there are two repellers: the Einstein-de Sitter universe and the de Sitter universe state dominating by the diffusion effects. We distinguish in the phase space trajectories, which become in good agreement with the data. They should intersect a rectangle with sides of Ωm,0[0.2724,0.3624]\Omega_{m,0}\in [0.2724, 0.3624], δ[0.0000,0.0364]\delta \in [0.0000, 0.0364] at the 95\% CL. Our model could solve some of the puzzles of the Λ\LambdaCDM model, such as the coincidence and fine-tuning problems. In the context of the coincidence problem, our model can explain the present ratio of ρm\rho_{m} to ρde\rho_{de}, which is equal 0.45760.0831+0.11090.4576^{+0.1109}_{-0.0831} at a 2σ\sigma confidence level.
