Cold dark matter explains a wide range of data on cosmological scales. However, there has been a steady accumulation of evidence for discrepancies between simulations and observations at scales smaller than galaxy clusters. Solutions to…

It is possible that there exist some interactions between dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM), and a suitable interaction can alleviate the coincidence problem. Several phenomenological interacting forms are proposed and are fitted with…
It has been recently pointed out that coupled dark matter-dark energy systems suffer from non-adiabatic instabilities at early times and large scales. We show how coupled models free from non-adiabatic instabilities can be identified as a…
Cosmological limits on neutrino masses are softened, by more than a factor 2, if Cold Dark Matter (CDM) and Dark Energy (DE) are coupled. In turn, a neutrino mass yielding $\Omega_\nu$ up to $\sim0.20$ allows coupling levels $\beta \simeq…

We present a Bayesian comparative analysis of five cosmological models: $\Lambda$CDM, $w$CDM, $w_0w_a$CDM, $\phi$CDM (with scalar-field dark energy), and an interacting dark energy scenario (the $\xi$-index model), to investigate dark…
In this study, we explore the impact of the interacting parameter on dark matter in a model resulting from a parametrization of dark energy density. To ensure a model-independent approach, we treat \( r_d \) as a free parameter, avoiding…
We study the interacting quintessence model with two different types of interaction by introducing a general parameterization of the quintessence potentials. The form of the quintessence potentials is arbitrary as the recent cosmological…

We study varying forms of viscous dark matter and try to address the intriguing tensions of the standard model of cosmology with recent cosmological data, including the Hubble and $S_8$ tensions. We note that by assuming the dark matter…
The tension between measurements of the Hubble constant obtained at different redshifts may provide a hint of new physics active in the relatively early universe, around the epoch of matter-radiation equality. A leading paradigm to resolve…
The absolute stability of a dark matter (DM) particle is not a binding requirement. Here we suggest a few scenarios where the DM particle is liable to decay via extremely feeble interactions. This can happen via inexplicably small Yukawa…
