We develop a perturbative model to describe large-scale structure in cosmologies where dark matter consists of a mixture of cold (CDM) and warm (WDM) components. In such mixed dark matter (MDM) scenarios, even a subdominant warm component…
We produce lensing potential and deflection-angle maps in order to simulate CMB weak-lensing via ray-tracing through the COupled Dark Energy Cosmological Simulations (CoDECS). The constructed maps reflect the N-body cosmic structures on a…
We present a comparison of halo properties in cosmological simulations of collisionless cold dark matter (CDM) and self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) for a range of dark matter cross sections. We find, in agreement with various authors,…
We present an analysis of the clustering evolution of dark matter in four cold dark matter (CDM) cosmologies. We use a suite of high resolution, 17-million particle, N-body simulations which sample volumes large enough to give clustering…
If the dark matter particle is a neutralino then the first structures to form are cuspy cold dark matter (CDM) haloes collapsing after redshifts z ~ 100 in the mass range 10^{-6} - 10^{-3} Msun. We carry out a detailed study of the survival…
We perform a study of the nonlinear clustering of matter in the late-forming dark matter (LFDM) scenario in which dark matter results from the transition of a nonminimally coupled scalar field from radiation to collisionless matter. A…
In the last time the cold dark matter (CDM) model has suggested more and more that it is not able to describe all the properties of nearby galaxies that can be observed in great detail as well as that it has some problems in the mechanism…
In the standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM) theory for understanding the formation of structure in the universe, there exists a tight connection between the properties of dark matter (DM) haloes, and their formation epochs. Such relation can be…
Dark-matter halos are the scaffolding around which galaxies and clusters are built. They form when the gravitational instability of primordial density fluctuations causes regions which are denser than average to slow their cosmic expansion,…
In this paper, we consider three phantom dark energy models, in the context of interaction between the dark components namely cold dark matter (CDM) and dark energy (DE). The first model, known as $w_{\textrm{d}}$CDM can induce a big rip…
We present two matched sets of five simulations each, covering five presently favored simple modifications to the standard cold dark matter (CDM) scenario. One simulation suite, with a linear box size of 75 Mpc/h, is designed for high…
We study the impact of Early Dark Energy fluctuations in the linear and non-linear regimes of structure formation. In these models the energy density of dark energy is non-negligible at high redshifts and the fluctuations in the dark energy…
While the behavior of the dominant component of the dark matter is reasonably well established by cosmological observables, its particle nature and interactions with the rest of the matter are not known. We consider three dark matter models…
WWe investigate the current viability of a well-known coupled dark energy scenario in which cold dark matter (DM) interacts with a spin-0 dark energy component through a non-trivial field dependence of the DM mass. This ultra-light scalar…
A light scalar field framework of dark energy, sometimes referred to as quintessence, introduces a fifth force between normal matter objects. Screening mechanisms, such as the chameleon model, allow the scalar field to be almost massless on…
The main aim of this paper is to present the multi scalar field components as candidates to be the dark energy of the universe and their observational constraints. We start with the canonical Quintessence and Phantom fields with quadratic…
We investigate a phenomenological non-gravitational coupling between dark energy and dark matter, where the interaction in the dark sector is parameterized as an energy transfer either from dark matter to dark energy or the opposite. The…

Gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters has emerged as a powerful tool to probe the standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm of structure formation in the Universe. Despite the remarkable explanatory power of CDM on large scales, tensions…
