The non-linear hydrodynamic equations for axion/scalar field dark matter (DM) in the non-relativistic Madelung-Shcr\"{o}dinger form are derived in a simple manner, including the effects of universal expansion and Hubble drag. The…
The paper brings a novel approach to unification of dark matter and dark energy in terms of a cosmic fluid. A model is introduced in which the cosmic fluid speed of sound squared is defined as a function of its equation of state (EoS)…
We use a combination of full hydrodynamic and dark matter only simulations to investigate the effect that baryonic physics and selecting super-cluster regions have on the matter power spectrum, by re-simulating a sample of super-cluster…
The effective evolution of an inhomogeneous universe model in any theory of gravitation may be described in terms of spatially averaged variables. In Einstein's theory, restricting attention to scalar variables, this evolution can be…

We investigate the characteristic modifications in the evolving cosmological perturbations when dark energy interacts with dust-like matter, causing the latter's background energy density fall off with time faster than usual. Focusing in…
A coupling between a light scalar field and neutrinos has been widely discussed as a mechanism for linking (time varying) neutrino masses and the present energy density and equation of state of dark energy. However, it has been pointed out…

We show that the relativistic effects are negligibly small in the non-linear density and velocity bispectra. Although the non-linearities of Einstein equation introduce additional non-linear terms to the Newtonian fluid equations, the…
We evaluate the effect of inhomogeneity energy on the expansion rate of the universe. Our method is to expand to Newtonian order in potential and velocity but to take into account fully nonlinear density inhomogeneities. To linear order in…
Dark Energy not only has background effects through its equation of state $w_{DE}$, but also it can cluster through its sound speed $c^2_{sDE}$, subject to certain conditions. As is well-known, for dynamical dark energy models, dark energy…
Within the framework of DBI non-canonical scalar field model of dark energy, we study the growth of dark matter perturbations in the both linear and non-linear regimes. In our DBI model, we consider the anti-de Sitter warp factor…
We generalize the small scale dynamics of the universe by taking into account models with an equation of state which evolves with time, and provide a complete formulation of the cluster virialization attempting to address the nonlinear…
We discuss the systematic uncertainties in the recovery of dark energy properties from the use of baryon acoustic oscillations as a standard ruler. We demonstrate that while unknown relativistic components in the universe prior to…
We study the linear cosmological evolution of inelastic self-interacting dark matter in a two-component dark sector with a small mass splitting, assuming thermal initial conditions for the two species. We derive the coupled background and…
General relativistic corrections to the galaxy power spectrum appearing at the horizon scale, if neglected, may induce biases on the measured values of the cosmological parameters. In this paper, we study the impact of general relativistic…

We show that the observed rotation curves of spiral galaxies constrain the sound speed of the dark matter to be $c_s < 10^{-4} c$, where $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum. Using the Modified Chaplygin Gas as a representative example of a…
We study a dark energy model with non-zero anisotropic stress, either linked to the dark energy density or to the dark matter density. We compute approximate solutions that allow to characterise the behaviour of the dark energy model and to…
