We compare the evolution of voids formed under the standard cosmological model and two alternative cosmological models. The two models are a quintessence model ($\phi$CDM) and a Coupled Dark Matter-Dark Energy (CDE) model, both of which…

Cosmic voids as typical under-density regions in the large scale Universe are known for their hyperbolic properties as an ability to deviate the photon beams. The under-density then is acting as the negative curvature in the hyperbolic…
