Interacting scenarios with dynamical dark energy: Observational constraints and alleviation of the tension

S Pan, W Yang, E Di Valentino, EN Saridakis… - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We investigate interacting scenarios that belong to a wider class, since they include a
dynamical dark energy component whose equation of state follows various one-parameter …

The zoo plot meets the swampland: mutual (in) consistency of single-field inflation, string conjectures, and cosmological data

WH Kinney, S Vagnozzi, L Visinelli - Classical and quantum …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider single-field inflation in light of string-motivated'swampland'conjectures
suggesting that effective scalar field theories with a consistent UV completion must have …

Context. The hot plasma in a galaxy cluster is expected to be heated to high temperatures
through shocks and adiabatic compression. The thermodynamical properties of the gas …

Observational constraints on one-parameter dynamical dark-energy parametrizations and the tension

W Yang, S Pan, E Di Valentino, EN Saridakis… - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
The phenomenological parametrizations of dark-energy (DE) equations of state can be very
helpful, since they allow for the investigation of its cosmological behavior despite the fact …
