Nonminimal dark sector physics and cosmological tensions

E Di Valentino, A Melchiorri, O Mena, S Vagnozzi - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We explore whether nonstandard dark sector physics might be required to solve the existing
cosmological tensions. The properties we consider in combination are (a) an interaction …

E Di Valentino, A Melchiorri, O Mena… - Physics of the Dark …, 2020 - Elsevier
We examine interactions between dark matter and dark energy in light of the latest
cosmological observations, focusing on a specific model with coupling proportional to the …

Running vacuum in quantum field theory in curved spacetime: renormalizing without terms

C Moreno-Pulido, J Solà Peracaula - The European Physical Journal C, 2020 - Springer
Abstract The\(\Lambda\)-term in Einstein's equations is a fundamental building block of the
'concordance'\(\Lambda\) CDM model of cosmology. Even though the model is not free of …

Brans–Dicke cosmology with a Λ-term: a possible solution to ΛCDM tensions

JS Peracaula, A Gómez-Valent… - … and Quantum Gravity, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a full-fledged analysis of Brans–Dicke cosmology with a cosmological constant
and cold dark matter (BD-ΛCDM for short). We extend the scenarios where the current …

Field theoretic interpretations of interacting dark energy scenarios and recent observations

S Pan, GS Sharov, W Yang - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Cosmological models describing the nongravitational interaction between dark matter and
dark energy are based on some phenomenological choices of the interaction rates between …

Dark calling Dark: Interaction in the dark sector in presence of neutrino properties after Planck CMB final release

W Yang, S Pan, RC Nunes… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate a well known scenario of interaction in the dark sector where the vacuum
energy is interacting with cold dark matter throughout the cosmic evolution in light of the …

tension and the string swampland

LA Anchordoqui, I Antoniadis, D Lüst, JF Soriano… - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We realize the Agrawal-Obied-Vafa (AOV) swampland proposal of fading dark matter by the
model of Salam-Sezgin and its string realization of Cvetič-Gibbons-Pope. The model …

Scalar-field dark energy nonminimally and kinetically coupled to dark matter

R Kase, S Tsujikawa - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We provide a general framework for studying the dark energy cosmology in which a scalar
field ϕ is nonminimally and kinetically coupled to cold dark matter (CDM). The scalar …

Dynamics and cosmological evolution in -varying cosmology

G Papagiannopoulos, P Tsiapi, S Basilakos… - The European Physical …, 2020 - Springer
We study the dynamical properties of a large body of varying vacuum cosmologies for which
dark matter interacts with vacuum. In particular, performing the critical point analysis we …

Metastable dark energy models in light of 2018 data: Alleviating the tension

W Yang, E Di Valentino, S Pan, S Basilakos… - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We investigate the recently introduced metastable dark energy (DE) models after the final P
lanck 2018 legacy release. The essence of the present work is to analyze their evolution at …
