We allow simultaneously for a CDM--DE coupling and non--zero neutrino masses and find that significant coupling and neutrino mass are (slightly) statistically favoured in respect to a cosmology with no coupling and negligible neutrino mass…
Within the frame of cosmologies where Dark Energy (DE) is a self--interacting scalar field, we allow for a CDM--DE coupling and non--zero neutrino masses, simultaneously. In their 0--0 version, i.e. in the absence of coupling and neutrino…
We consider cosmological models with dynamical dark energy (dDE) coupled to cold dark matter (CDM), while simultaneously allowing neutrinos to be massive. Using a MCMC approach, we compare these models with a wide range of cosmological data…
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…
The latest cosmological constraints on the sum of the neutrino masses depend on prior physical assumptions about the mass spectrum. To test the accordance of cosmological and laboratory constraints in the absence of such priors, we…
We compare a large set of cosmologies with WMAP data, performing a fit based on a MCMC algorithm. Besides of LCDM models, we take dynamical DE models, where DE and DM are uncoupled or coupled, both in the case of constant coupling and in…
We use WMAP5 and other cosmological data to constrain model parameters in quintessence cosmologies, focusing also on their shift when we allow for non-vanishing neutrino masses. The Ratra-Peebles (RP) and SUGRA potentials are used here, as…
We investigate the correlation between the neutrino mass limit and dark energy with time evolving equation of state. Parameterizing dark energy as w=w_0+w_1*z/(1+z), we make a global fit using Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique to determine…
Axions are likely to be the Dark Matter (DM) that cosmological data require. They arise in the Peccei Quinn solution of the strong CP problem. In a previous work we showed that their model has a simple and natural generalization which…
Mildly mixed coupled models include massive neutrinos and CDM--DE coupling. We present new tests of their likelihood vs. recent data including WMAP7, confirming it to exceed LCDM, although at ~2\sigma's. We then show the impact on the…
The recent atmospheric neutrino data from Super-Kamiokande provide strong evidence of neutrino oscillations and therefore of non-zero neutrino mass. These data imply a lower limit on the hot dark matter (i.e., light neutrino) contribution…
When CMB data are used to derive cosmological parameters, their very choice does matter: some parameter values can be biased if the parameter space does not cover the "true" model. This is a problem, because of the difficulty to parametrize…
Dark matter (DM) and neutrinos are the two most compelling pieces of evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics but these are often treated as belonging to two different sectors. Yet DM-neutrino interactions are…
A simple and natural extension of the standard Lambda cold dark matter ($\Lambda$CDM) model is to allow relic neutrinos to have finite chemical potentials. We confront this $\Lambda$CDM$\xi$ model, a $\Lambda$CDM with neutrino mass $M_\nu$…
We revisit the possibility of using cosmological observations to constrain models that involve interactions between neutrinos and dark matter. We show that small-scale measurements of the cosmic microwave background with a few per cent…
The strong CP problem was solved by Peccei & Quinn by introducing axions, a viable candidate for Dark Matter (DM). Here the PQ approach is modified so to yield also Dark Energy (DE). DM and DE arise, in fai proportions, from a single scalar…
Neutrinos and dark energy (DE) have entered a new era of investigation, as the latest DESI baryon acoustic oscillation measurements tighten the constraints on the neutrino mass and suggest that DE may be dynamical rather than a cosmological…
Mixed dark matter models with one low-mass (e.g. 2.4eV) neutrino flavor are shown to be in good agreement with observations if the neutrinos have non-zero chemical potentials. This agreement holds (except for the problem with a low-age…
We consider two optimally mixed neutralino dark matter models, based on nonuniversal gaugino masses, which were recently proposed by us to achieve WMAP compatible relic density over a large part of the MSSM parameter space. We compare the…
We investigate the model of dark matter-dark energy (DM-DE) interaction with coupling strength proportional to the multiplication of dark sector densities with different power indices $Q = \gamma \rho_{\rm c}^{\alpha} \rho_{\rm d}^{\beta}$.…
