abstract
Cold Dark Matter (CDM) is a crucial constituent of the current concordance cosmological model. Having a vanishing equation of state (EoS), its energy density scales with the inverse cosmic volume and is thus uniquely described by a single number, its present abundance. We test the inverse cosmic volume law for Dark Matter (DM) by allowing its EoS to vary independently in eight redshift bins in the range $z=10^5$ and $z=0$. We use the latest measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation from the Planck satellite and supplement them with Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) data from the 6dF and SDSS-III BOSS surveys, and with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) key project data. We find no evidence for nonzero EoS in any of the eight redshift bins. With Planck data alone, the DM abundance is most strongly constrained around matter-radiation equality $\omega^{\rm eq}_g = 0.1193^{+0.0036}_{-0.0035}$ (95% c.l.), whereas its present day value is more weakly constrained $\omega^{(0)}_g = 0.16^{+0.12}_{-0.10}$ (95% c.l.). Adding BAO or HST data does not significantly change the $\omega^{\rm eq}_g$ constraint, while $\omega^{(0)}_g$ tightens to $0.160^{+0.069}_{-0.065} $ (95% c.l.) and $0.124^{+0.081}_{-0.067}$ (95% c.l.) respectively. Our results constrain for the first time the level of "coldness" required of the DM across various cosmological epochs and show that the DM abundance is strictly positive at all times.

Quantum Field Theory Of Cosmological Perturbations Induced By Ultralight Dark Matter

Coupled quintessence from an axion dark sector
A coupled two-axion dark sector reproduces the apparent phantom-crossing dark energy hinted at by DESI and fits CMB, BAO, and Type Ia supernova data as well as LambdaCDM.

Is Dark Matter Really Matter?
Using DESI DR2, DES supernovae, and two CMB likelihoods, the authors find wDM about 0.001 and wDE about -0.94 when varied jointly, a roughly 2-sigma joint preference away from Lambda-CDM, with a non-phantom Pade-w plu...

Accelerating scaling solutions from dark matter particle creation
Accelerating scaling attractors without dark energy appear only when the interaction is controlled by DM density and energy flows from DM to a barotropic fluid.

Is Dark Energy an Effective Manifestation of Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics? -- Insights from DESI
Two phenomenological dark matter creation rates can reproduce the accelerated expansion of the universe and fit current background data as well as or slightly better than LambdaCDM for some DESI-based data combinations.

Exploring non-cold dark matter in a scenario of dynamical dark energy with DESI DR2 data
Using DESI DR2, Planck, and supernova data, a nonzero dark matter equation of state is preferred at 2.8 to 3.3 sigma only when dark energy is assumed to have a constant equation of state.
