We study a modified interacting dark energy (MIDE) model as a candidate to describe possible interaction between dark energy and dark matter as well as that between dark energy and baryonic matter. More specifically, we introduce a new parameter γ b to quantify the extent of interaction between dark energy and baryons. With three classes of cosmological distance observations including CMB measurements from Planck and WMAP9 results, as well as the recent direct measurements of the Hubble parameter as a function of redshift, we study the allowable values of γ c and γ b and other cosmological parameters. The constraint results obtained by using the MCMC method show: (1) The interaction term γ b quantifying the extent of interaction between baryonic matter and dark energy is nearly equal to 0, which strongly support the whole coupled dark energy scenario based on the assumption that baryons should remain uncoupled in order to allow a non-negligible coupling to dark matter. (2) At the 95.4 % confidence level, we see the energy of dark energy is slightly transferring to that of dark matter; (3) Concerning the typical value of the present energy density ratio between baryonic matter and dark matter in the universe, we obtain a positive coupling between dark energy and matter at 2σ, which indicates that dark energy is leaking energy to matter. Finally, concerning the observational density parameter ratio Ω b /Ω m derived from the gas mass fraction data (f g a s ), within the framework of the phenomenological interaction model, we observe a good compatibility between the observational constraints from f g a s and other combined data.

An Ordinary Matter and Celestial Objects Interaction with Dark Fabric Matter and Energy
  • Dec 31, 2024
  • Engineering and Technology Journal
  • Sabir Sadiq

In this work, I shall figure out the general structure of dark fabric matter, and the direct interactions of the celestial objects, ordinary matter, and ordinary energy with dark fabric matter and energy. Dark Fabric matter and energy is a hidden dimension of the parallel universes, visible Universe, galaxies, Atoms, molecules, ordinary matter, celestial objects, stellar systems, and Planetary systems. The Main Structure of Dark fabric matter consists of the Dark matter particles called Fabriton particles, Dark Matter Strings, and Dark Matter Webs. The dark matter particles are named fabriton particles. Fabriton means Fast actively binding reacting in total objects naturally. Fabriton is a good proposed name for dark matter particles to be recognized among subatomic particles. The mystery of Dark matter and the dark energy could be solved here entirely. Einstein and Newton built clear mathematical equations to describe the nature of gravity, after them many other people worked warmly to resolve the reality of gravity, dark matter, and dark energy. Gravity is the ripples, curvatures, gravitational waves, and tunnels that form rapidly in the structure of dark fabric matter and energy when celestial objects and ordinary matter particles pass through it directly.

Observational constraints on interacting dark energy models with multiple measurements of quasars

  • Shuo Cao

Dark energy and dark matter, two subjects of basic physics, have received a lot of attention in the 21st century. From the observational point of view, the interaction between dark energy and dark matter can significantly affect cosmological distances. This gives rise to the possibility of indirectly detecting such interaction through high-redshift cosmological probes. Theoretically, the introduction of interaction between dark energy and dark matter can assist in alleviating the coincidence problem of the standard cosmological model ($\Lambda$CDM model). Furthermore, this can provide a new method of studying the properties of dark matter particles. In this paper, based on the latest observations of multiple measurements of quasars (X-ray+UV quasars acting as standard candles, compact radio quasars acting as standard rulers) covering the redshift range of $0.04~<~z~<~5.1$ and baryonic acoustic oscillation between ($0.38~<~z~<~2.34$), we investigate the observational constraints on a variety of interacting dark energy models ($\gamma_d~$IDE model, $\gamma_m~$IDE model) and other cosmological models ($\Lambda$CDM model, XCDM model). The results provide us with a quantitative analysis of the possible interaction between dark energy and dark matter, as well as the possible range of the mass of dark matter particles. The joint analysis shows that: (1) Multiple measurements of quasars can provide more stringent constraints on the interacting dark energy models, which can further strengthen the potential of quasars acting as effective cosmological standard probes at higher redshifts; (2) In the framework of both $\gamma_m$IDE model and $\gamma_d$IDE model, the quasar data supports possible conversion of dark energy into dark matter at high redshift, which alleviates the coincidence problem to some extent. We also found that the interaction term is of a small value, which demonstrates the negligible interaction between dark matter and dark energy; (3) In the framework of $\Lambda$CDM model, which has shown the best consistency with quasar data, the density parameter of matter in the Universe is constrained at $\Omega_~m=0.317^{+0.007}_{-0.007}$, with the best-fit Hubble constant $H_0=68.177^{+0.497}_{-0.505}$ at 68.3% confidence level. These findings are consistent with the recent microwave background radiation (CMB) measurements from the Planck satellite; (4) If dark matter in the Universe exists in the form of scalar-field dark matter with $Z_2$ symmetry, we obtain the range of the mass of dark matter particles as $56~{\rm~GeV}\lesssim~m_S\lesssim~63~{\rm~GeV}$ or $m_S\gtrsim450~{\rm~GeV}$, based on the dark energy-dark matter coupling term from multiple measurements of quasars. Such conclusions agree well with the latest experimental results aimed at the direct detection of dark matter particles.

Holographic dark energy interacting with two fluids and validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics
  • Sep 11, 2011
  • Astrophysics and Space Science
  • Ujjal Debnath

We have considered a cosmological model of holographic dark energy interacting with dark matter and another unknown component of dark energy of the universe. We have assumed two interaction terms Q and Q′ in order to include the scenario in which the mutual interaction between the two principal components (i.e., holographic dark energy and dark matter) of the universe leads to some loss in other forms of cosmic constituents. Our model is valid for any sign of Q and Q′. If Q<Q′, then part of the dark energy density decays into dark matter and the rest in the other unknown energy density component. But if Q>Q′, then dark matter energy receives from dark energy and from the unknown component of dark energy. Observation suggests that dark energy decays into dark matter. Here we have presented a general prescription of a cosmological model of dark energy which imposes mutual interaction between holographic dark energy, dark matter and another fluid. We have obtained the equation of state for the holographic dark energy density which is interacting with dark matter and other unknown component of dark energy. Using first law of thermodynamics, we have obtained the entropies for holographic dark energy, dark matter and other component of dark energy, when holographic dark energy interacting with two fluids (i.e., dark matter and other component of dark energy). Also we have found the entropy at the horizon when the radius (L) of the event horizon measured on the sphere of the horizon. We have investigated the GSL of thermodynamics at the present time for the universe enveloped by this horizon. Finally, it has been obtained validity of GSL which implies some bounds on deceleration parameter q.

Dark sector unifications: Dark matter-phantom energy, dark matter - constant w dark energy, dark matter-dark energy-dark matter
  • Jul 25, 2019
  • Physics Letters B
  • Dalibor Perković + 1 more

The paper brings a novel approach to unification of dark matter and dark energy in terms of a cosmic fluid. A model is introduced in which the cosmic fluid speed of sound squared is defined as a function of its equation of state (EoS) parameter. It is shown how logarithmic part of this function results in dynamical regimes previously not observed in cosmic fluid models. It is shown that in a particular dynamical regime the model behaves as a unification of dark matter and phantom dark energy. Further, it is shown that the model may describe dark matter - dark energy unification in which dark energy asymptotically behaves as dark energy with a constant EoS parameter larger than −1. In a specific parameter regime the unified fluid model also reproduces global expansion similar to ΛCDM model with fluid speed of sound vanishing for small scale factor values and being small, or even vanishing, for large scale factor values. Finally, it is shown how the model may be instrumental in describing the cosmic fluid dark matter-dark energy-dark matter unification. Physical constraints on model parameters yielding such transient dark energy behavior are obtained.

Focus on Gravitational Lensing
  • Nov 1, 2007
  • New Journal of Physics
  • Bhuvnesh Jain

Gravitational lensing emerged as an observational field following the 1979 discovery of a doubly imaged quasar lensed by a foreground galaxy. In the 1980s and '90s dozens of other multiply imaged systems were observed, as well as time delay measurements, weak and strong lensing by galaxies and galaxy clusters, and the discovery of microlensing in our galaxy. The rapid pace of advances has continued into the new century. Lensing is currently one of best techniques for finding and mapping dark matter over a wide range of scales, and also addresses broader cosmological questions such as understanding the nature of dark energy. This focus issue of New Journal of Physics presents a snapshot of current research in some of the exciting areas of lensing. It provides an occasion to look back at the advances of the last decade and ahead to the potential of the coming years.

A Unifying Theory of Dark Energy, Dark Matter, and Baryonic Matter in the Positive-Negative Mass Universe Pair: Protogalaxy and Galaxy Evolutions
  • Jan 1, 2020
  • Journal of Modern Physics
  • Ding-Yu Chung

This paper modifies the Farnes’ unifying theory of dark energy and dark matter which are negative-mass, created continuously from the negative-mass universe in the positive-negative mass universe pair. The first modification explains that observed dark energy is 68.6%, greater than 50% for the symmetrical positive-negative mass universe pair. This paper starts with the proposed positive-negative-mass 11D universe pair (without kinetic energy) which is transformed into the positive-negative mass 10D universe pair and the external dual gravities as in the Randall-Sundrum model, resulting in the four equal and separate universes consisting of the positive-mass 10D universe, the positive-mass massive external gravity, the negative-mass 10D universe and the negative-mass massive external gravity. The positive-mass 10D universe is transformed into 4D universe (home universe) with kinetic energy through the inflation and the Big Bang to create positive-mass dark matter which is five times of positive-mass baryonic matter. The other three universes without kinetic energy oscillate between 10D and 10D through 4D, resulting in the hidden universes when D > 4 and dark energy when D = 4, which is created continuously to our 4D home universe with the maximum dark energy = 3/4 = 75%. In the second modification to explain dark matter in the CMB, dark matter initially is not repulsive. The condensed baryonic gas at the critical surface density induces dark matter repulsive force to transform dark matter in the region into repulsive dark matter repulsing one another. The calculated percentages of dark energy, dark matter, and baryonic matter are 68.6 (as an input from the observation), 26 and 5.2, respectively, in agreement with observed 68.6, 26.5 and 4.9, respectively, and dark energy started in 4.33 billion years ago in agreement with the observed 4.71 ± 0.98 billion years ago. In conclusion, the modified Farnes’ unifying theory reinterprets the Farnes’ equations, and is a unifying theory of dark energy, dark matter, and baryonic matter in the positive-negative mass universe pair. The unifying theory explains protogalaxy and galaxy evolutions in agreement with the observations.

A Model of Dark Matter and Dark Energy Based on Relativizing Newton’s Physics
  • Jan 1, 2018
  • World Journal of Condensed Matter Physics
  • Ramzi Suleiman

The nature and properties of dark matter and dark energy in the universe are among the outstanding open issues of modern cosmology. Despite extensive theoretical and empirical efforts, the question “what is dark matter made of?” has not been answered satisfactorily. Candidates proposed to identify particle dark matter span over ninety orders of magnitude in mass, from ultra-light bosons, to massive black holes. Dark energy is a greater enigma. It is believed to be some kind of negative vacuum energy, responsible for driving galaxies apart in accelerated motion. In this article we take a relativistic approach in theorizing about dark matter and dark energy. Our approach is based on our recently proposed Information Relativity theory. Rather than theorizing about the identities of particle dark matter candidates, we investigate the relativistic effects on large scale celestial structures at their recession from an observer on Earth. We analyze a simplified model of the universe, in which large scale celestial bodies, like galaxies and galaxy clusters, are non-charged compact bodies that recede rectilinearly along the line-of-sight of an observer on Earth. We neglect contributions to dark matter caused by the rotation of celestial structures (e.g., the rotation of galaxies) and of their constituents (e.g., rotations of stars inside galaxies). We define the mass of dark matter as the complimentary portion of the derived relativistic mass, such that at any given recession velocity the sum of the two is equal to the Newtonian mass. The emerging picture from our analysis could be summarized as follows: 1) At any given redshift, the dark matter of a receding body exists in duality to its observable matter. 2) The dynamical interaction between the dark and the observed matter is determined by the body’s recession velocity (or redshift). 3) The observable matter mass density decreases with its recession velocity, with matter transforming to dark matter. 4) For redshifts z 0.5 the universe is dominated by dark matter. 5) Consistent with observational data, at redshift z = 0.5, the densities of matter and dark matter in the universe are predicted to be equal. 6) At redshift equaling the Golden Ratio (z ≈ 1.618), baryonic matter undergoes a quantum phase transition. The universe at higher redshifts is comprised of a dominant dark matter alongside with quantum matter. 7) Contrary to the current conjecture that dark energy is a negative vacuum energy that might interact with dark matter, comparisons of our theoretical results with observational results of ΛCDM cosmologies, and with observations of the relative densities of matter and dark energy at redshift z ≈ 0.55, allow us to conclude that dark energy is the energy carried by dark matter. 8) Application of the model to the case of rotating bodies, which will be discussed in detail in a subsequent paper, raises the intriguing possibility that the gravitational force between two bodies of mass is mediated by the entanglement of their dark matter components.

Evaluation of Bianchi type VI0 magnetized anisotropic dark energy models with constant deceleration parameter in bimetric theory of gravitation

  • M S Borkar + 1 more

In this paper, Bianchi type VI0 magnetized anisotropic dark energy models with constant deceleration parameter have been studied by solving the Rosen's field equations in Bimetric theory of gravitation. The models corresponding to power law expansion and exponential law expansion have been evaluated and studied their nature geometrically and physically. It is seen that there is real visible matter (baryonic matter) suddenly appeared only for small interval of time 0.7 ≤ t &lt; 0.7598 and for the remaining whole range of time t, there is dark energy matter in the universe. Our investigations are supported to the observational fact that the usual matter described by known particle theory is about 4% and the dark energy cause the accelerating expansion of the universe and several high precision observational experiments, especially the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropic Probe (WMAP) satellite experiment (see [C. L. Bennett et al., Astrophys. J. Suppl. Ser. 148 (2003) 1; WMAP Collab. (D. N. Spergel et al.), Astrophys. J. Suppl. Ser. 148 (2003) 175; D. N. Spergel et al., Astrophys. J. Suppl. 170 (2007) 377; WMAP Collab. (E. Komastu et al.), Astrophys. J. Suppl. 180 (2009) 330; WMAP Collab. (G. Hinshaw et al.), Astrophys. J. Suppl. 208 (2013) 19; Plank Collab. (P. A. R. Ade), arXiv:1303.5076; arXiv:1303.5082]) conclude that the dark energy occupies near about 73% of the energy of the universe and dark matter is about 23%. In exponential law of expansion, our model is fully occupied by real visible matter and there is no chance of dark energy and dark matter.

Combination and interpretation of observables in Cosmology
  • Jan 1, 2010
  • EPJ Web of Conferences
  • Jean-Marc Virey

The standard cosmological model has deep theoretical foundations but need the introduction of two major unknown components, dark matter and dark energy, to be in agreement with various observations. Dark matter describes a non-relativistic collisionless fluid of (non baryonic) matter which amount to 25% of the total density of the universe. Dark energy is a new kind of fluid not of matter type, representing 70% of the total density which should explain the recent acceleration of the expansion of the universe. Alternatively, one can reject this idea of adding one or two new components but argue that the equations used to make the interpretation should be modified consmological scales. Instead of dark matter one can invoke a failure of Newton's laws. Instead of dark energy, two approaches are proposed : general relativity (in term of the Einstein equation) should be modified, or the cosmological principle which fixes the metric used for cosmology should be abandonned. One of the main objective of the community is to find the path of the relevant interpretations thanks to the next generation of experiments which should provide large statistics of observationnal data. Unfortunately, cosmological in formations are difficult to pin down directly fromt he measurements, and it is mandatory to combine the various observables to get the cosmological parameters. This is not problematic from the statistical point of view, but assumptions and approximations made for the analysis may bias our interprettion of the data. Consequently, a strong attention should be paied to the statistical methods used to make parameters estimation and for model testing. After a review of the basics of cosmology where the cosmological parameters are introduced, we discuss the various cosmological probes and their associated observables used to extract cosmological informations. We present the results obtained from several statistical analyses combining data of diferent nature but we insist on the main drawbaks that can falsify our final interpretation.

Galaxy Evolution by the Incompatibility between Dark Matter and Baryonic Matter
  • Jan 1, 2014
  • International Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics
  • Ding-Yu Chung

The paper derives the galaxy evolution by the non-interacting (incompatibility) between dark matter and baryonic matter in terms of the short-range separation between dark matter and baryonic matter, so dark matter cannot contact baryonic matter. In the conventional CDM (cold dark matter) model, dark matter and baryonic matter are interactive (compatible), so dark matter can contact baryonic matter. However, the conventional CDM model fails to account for the failure to detect dark matter by the contact (interaction) between dark matter and baryonic matter, the shortage of small galaxies, the abundance of spiral galaxies, the old age of large galaxies, and the formation of thin spiral galaxies. The non-interacting (incompatible cold dark matter) model can account for these observed phenomena. The five periods of baryonic structure development in the order of increasing non-interacting (incompatibility) are the free baryonic matter, the baryonic droplet, the galaxy, the cluster, and the supercluster periods.

A new way to test the WIMP dark matter models
  • Aug 1, 2021
  • Journal of High Energy Physics
  • Wei Cheng + 5 more

In this paper, we investigate the possibility of testing the weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter (DM) models by applying the simplest phenomenological model which introduces an interaction term between dark energy (DE) and WIMP DM, i.e., Q = 3γDMHρDM. In general, the coupling strength γDE is close to 0 as the interaction between DE and WIMP DM is very weak, thus the effect of γDE on the evolution of Y associated with DM energy density can be safely neglected. Meanwhile, our numerical calculation also indicates that xf ≈ 20 is associated with DM freeze-out temperature, which is the same as the vanishing interaction scenario. As for DM relic density, it will be magnified by frac{2-3{upgamma}_{mathrm{DM}}}{2}{left[2pi {g}_{ast }{m}_{mathrm{DM}}^3/left(45{s}_0{x}_f^3right)right]}^{gamma_{mathrm{DM}}} times, which provides a new way to test WIMP DM models. As an example, we analyze the case in which WIMP DM is a scalar DM. (SGL+SNe+Hz) and (CMB+BAO+SNe) cosmological observations will give γDM = {0.134}_{-0.069}^{+0.17} and γDM = −0.0008 ± 0.0016, respectively. After further considering the constraints from DM direct detection experiment, DM indirect detection experiment, and DM relic density, we find that the allowed parameter space of the scalar DM model will be completely excluded for the former cosmological observations, while it will increase for the latter ones. Those two cosmological observations lead to an almost paradoxical conclusion. Therefore, one could expect more stringent constraints on the WMIP DM models, with the accumulation of more accurate cosmological observations in the near future.

Prospects for weighing neutrinos in interacting dark energy models using joint observations of gravitational waves and γ-ray bursts* *Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (12305069, 11947022, 11975072, 11875102, 11835009), the National SKA Program of China (2022SKA0110200, 2022SKA0110203), the National 111 Project (B16009), and the Program of the Education Department of Liaoning Province, China (JYTMS20231695)

Cosmological observations can be used to weigh neutrinos, but this method is model-dependent, with results relying on the cosmological model considered. If we consider interactions between dark energy and dark matter, the neutrino mass constraints differ from those derived under the standard model. On the contrary, gravitational wave (GW) standard siren observations can measure absolute cosmological distances, helping to break parameter degeneracies inherent in traditional cosmological observations, thereby improving constraints on neutrino mass. This paper examines the constraints on neutrino mass within interacting dark energy (IDE) models and explores how future GW standard siren observations could enhance these results. For multi-messenger GW observations, we consider the joint observations of binary neutron star mergers by third-generation ground-based GW detectors and short γ-ray burst observations by missions similar to the THESEUS satellite project. Using current cosmological observations (CMB+BAO+SN), we obtain an upper limit on the neutrino mass in the IDE models of 0.15 (or 0.16) eV. With the inclusion of GW data, the upper limit on the neutrino mass improves to 0.14 eV. This indicates that in the context of IDE models, the improvement in neutrino mass constraints from GW observations is relatively limited. However, GW observations significantly enhance the constraints on other cosmological parameters, such as matter density parameter, the Hubble constant, and coupling strength between dark energy and dark matter.
