The interaction between the dark $U(1)_d$ sector with the visible Standard Model (SM) sector takes place through the kinetic mixing between the dark photon $U(1)_d$ field $Z_d^\mu$ and the SM $U(1)_Y$ gauge field $B_\mu$. After the…
The interacting dark energy model could propose a effective way to avoid the coincidence problem. In this paper, dark energy is taken as a fluid with a constant equation of state parameter $w_x$. In a general gauge, we could obtain two sets…
Cosmological analysis based on currently available observations are unable to rule out a sizeable coupling between dark energy and dark matter. However, the signature of the coupling is not easy to grasp, since the coupling is degenerate…
We study the Universe at the late stage of its evolution and deep inside the cell of uniformity. At such a scale the Universe is highly inhomogeneous and filled with discretely distributed inhomogeneities in the form of galaxies and groups…
Models proposing a non-gravitational interaction between dark energy (DE) and dark matter (CDM) have been extensively studied as alternatives to the standard cosmological model. A common approach to describing the DE-CDM coupling assumes it…
Direct observations of the Hubble rate, from cosmic chronometers and the radial baryon acoustic oscillation scale, can out-perform supernovae observations in understanding the expansion history, because supernovae observations need to be…
We investigate an interacting dark energy model which allows for the kinetic term of the scalar field to couple to dark matter via a power-law interaction. The model is characterised by scaling solutions at early times, which are of high…
We use high-resolution simulations of large-scale structure formation to analyze the effects of interacting dark matter and dark energy on the evolution of the halo mass function. Using a chi-square likelihood analysis, we find significant…
Models where Dark Matter and Dark Energy interact with each other have been proposed to solve the coincidence problem. We review the motivations underlying the need to introduce such interaction, its influence on the background dynamics and…
We investigate the role of a possible coupling of dark matter and dark energy. In particular, we explore the consequences of such an interaction for the coincidence problem, i.e., for the question, why the energy densities of dark matter…
In this work we model two non-linear directly interacting scenarios in dark sector of the universe with the dimensionless parameter $\alpha$ and $\beta$, which dominate the energy exchange between dark energy and dark matter. The central…
We study the dynamical behaviour of the interacting holographic dark energy model whose interaction term is $Q=3H(\lam_d\rho_d + \lam_c\rho_c)$, where $\rho_d$ and $\rho_c$ are the energy density of dark energy and CDM respectively. To…
In this work we investigate the interaction between dark matter and dark energy for a coupling that obeys the Wang-Meng decaying law, $\rho_{{\rm DM}}\propto (1+z)^{3-\epsilon}$, and the Barboza-Alcaniz dark energy parametric model,…
In Dark Matter direct detection we are facing the situation of some experiments reporting positive signals which are in conflict with limits from other experiments. Such conclusions are subject to large uncertainties introduced by the…
The considerable difference between early and late universe measurements of the Hubble constant, called the Hubble tension, poses a potential challenge to the standard $\Lambda$CDM cosmological model. We examine an interacting dark…
We show that an interaction between dark matter and dark energy generically results in an effective dark energy equation of state of w<-1. This arises because the interaction alters the redshift-dependence of the matter density. An observer…
In this paper we study a model of interacting dark energy - dark matter where the ratio between these components is not constant, changing from early to late times in such a way that the model can solve or alleviate the cosmic coincidence…
The interacting and holographic dark energy models involve two important quantities. One is the characteristic size of the holographic bound and the other is the coupling term of the interaction between dark energy and dark matter. Rather…
We investigate a class of interacting dark energy and dark matter (DM) models, where dark energy is modeled as a $k$-essence scalar field with an inverse-square potential. Two general forms of interaction are considered: one proportional to…
Since there is no known symmetry in Nature that prevents a non-minimal coupling between the dark energy (DE) and cold dark matter (CDM) components, such a possibility constitutes an alternative to standard cosmology, with its theoretical…
