We study the growth rate of matter perturbations in the context of teleparallel dark energy in a flat universe. We investigate the dynamics of different theoretical scenarios based on specific forms of the scalar field potential. Allowing…
A single fluid approximation which treats perturbations in baryons and dark matter as equal has sometimes been used to calculate the growth of linear matter density perturbations in the Universe. We demonstrate that properly accounting for…
We compare observational data of growth rate with the prediction by Galileon theory. For the same value of the energy density parameter $\Omega_{m,0}$, the growth rate in Galileon models is enhanced compared with the $\Lambda$CDM case, due…
We study structure formation using relativistic cosmological linear perturbation theory in the presence of intrinsic and relative (with respect to matter) non-adiabatic dark energy perturbations. For different dark energy models we assess…
In this work we discuss observational aspects of three time-dependent parameterisations of the dark energy equation of state $w(z)$. In order to determine the dynamics associated with these models, we calculate their background evolution…
We study background dynamics and the growth of matter perturbations in the extended quasidilaton setup of massive gravity. For the analysis of perturbations, we first choose a scalar field matter component and obtain the conditions under…
In spite of their original discrepancy, both dark energy and modified theory of gravity can be parameterized by the effective equation of state (EOS) $\omega$ for the expansion history of the Universe. A useful model independent approach to…
We study linear power spectra and formation of large scale structures in flat cosmological models with $\Lambda \ge 0$ and cold plus hot dark matter components (MLM). The hot component consists of massive neutrinos with cosmological density…
Early dark energy models, for which the contribution to the dark energy density at high redshifts is not negligible, influence the growth of cosmic structures and could leave observable signatures that are different from the standard…
We study structure formation in alternative cosmological models constrained by background observations, including $\Lambda$CDM, wCDM, the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder parametrisation and a flexible Chebyshev expansion of the dark energy…
In this paper, we study the growth index of matter density perturbations for the power law model in $f(T)$ gravity. Using the parametrization $\gamma(z)=\gamma_0+\gamma_1 {z\over 1+z}$ for the growth index, which approximates the real…
We investigated the evolution of the background expansion and the growth rate of the matter density fluctuations in the scalar field $\phi$CDM Ratra-Peebles model. We constrained the model parameter $\alpha$ and the matter density parameter…
The expansion rate of the Universe changes with time, initially slowing (decelerating) when the universe was matter dominated, because of the mutual gravitational attraction of all the matter in it, and more recently speeding up…
The cosmic microwave background and large scale structure are complementary probes to investigate the early and late time universe. After the current accomplishment of the high accuracies of CMB measurements, accompanying precision…
A suitable nonlinear interaction between dark matter with an energy density $\rho_{M}$ and dark energy with an energy density $\rho_{X}$ is known to give rise to a non-canonical scaling $\rho_{M} \propto \rho_{X}a^{-\xi}$ where $\xi$ is a…
We investigate linear matter density perturbations in the $\Lambda_{\rm s}$CDM, in which the $\Lambda$ is replaced by late-time ($z\sim2$) mirror AdS-dS transition, resulting in distinct growth dynamics. We use two complementary approaches:…
We revisit cosmological neutrino mass bounds when a fraction of dark matter is allowed to decay to massless dark radiation. By compensating the late-time increase in the matter density induced by neutrinos becoming non-relativistic,…
The dynamics of density and metric perturbations is investigated for the previously developed model where the decay of the vacuum energy into matter (or vice versa) is due to the renormalization group (RG) running of the cosmological…
The $\Lambda CDM$ expansion could be mimicked by a dark energy coupled to matter. Then, the equation of state $\bar w$ and coupling $\bar Q$ of this coupled dark energy could not be constrained by observations of the Hubble function alone.…
A wide range of models describing modifications to General Relativity have been proposed, but no fundamental parameter set exists to describe them. Similarly, no fundamental theory exists for dark energy to parameterize its potential…
