Interacting dark sectors may undergo changes in the number of their relativistic species during the early universe, due to a mass threshold $m$ (similar to changes in the Standard Model bath), and in doing so affect the cosmic history. When…
An interesting approach to the cosmological coincidence problem is to allow dark matter and dark energy interact with each other also nongravitationally. We consider two general Ans\"{a}tze for such an interaction and appraise their ability…
The Lambda-Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) model agrees with most of the cosmological observations, but has some hindrances from observed data at smaller scales such as galaxies. Recently, Berezhiani and Khoury (2015) proposed a new theory…

The coincidence problem of late cosmic acceleration gets significantly alleviated when a suitable interaction between matter and dark energy, either of phantom type or not, enters the picture. We show that a class of models featuring this…
