abstract

Coupled dark matter-dark energy scenarios are modeled via a dimensionless parameter $\xi$, which controls the strength of their interaction. While this coupling is commonly assumed to be constant, there is no underlying physical law or symmetry that forbids a time-dependent $\xi$ parameter. The most general and complete interacting scenarios between the two dark sectors should therefore allow for such a possibility, and it is the main purpose of this study to constrain two possible and well-motivated coupled cosmologies by means of the most recent and accurate early and late-time universe observations. We find that CMB data alone prefers $\xi(z) >0$ and therefore a smaller amount of dark matter, alleviating some crucial and well-known cosmological data tensions. An objective assessment of the Bayesian evidence for the coupled models explored here shows no particular preference for the presence of a dynamical dark sector coupling.

  1. Upper limits on dark energy-dark matter interaction from DESI DR2 in a field-theoretic analysis

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A field-theoretic calculation finds that dark energy and dark matter interact only very weakly, and DESI data rule out the strong-interaction regime that would change quintessence behavior.

  2. Interacting dark energy in the early 2020s: a promising solution to the $H_0$ and cosmic shear tensions

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    An interacting dark energy model with coupling proportional to the dark energy density alleviates the H0 and S8 tensions in Planck 2018 data but is not preferred once BAO and supernova data are included.

  3. Probing the independence within the dark sector in the fluid approximation

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Current cosmological data show no statistically significant sign of an interaction between cold dark matter and dark energy, with LambdaCDM preferred, and future LSST and DESI data could constrain such a coupling at 2...

  4. Dark Energy Is Not That Into You: Variable Couplings after DESI DR2 BAO

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    With DESI DR2 data, one interacting dark sector model with a time-dependent coupling shows a nonzero coupling at more than 95% CL, but Bayesian evidence still favors Lambda-CDM.

  5. Solving an Interacting Quintessence Model with a Sound Horizon Initial Condition and its Observational Constraints

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    An interacting quintessence model with initial conditions set by the CMB sound horizon angle increases H0 with coupling strength, but observational constraints show it does not resolve the H0 or S8 tensions.

  6. Cosmological constraints in extended parameter space from the Planck 2018 Legacy release

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Planck 2018 constraints in extended cosmological models show the A_L lensing anomaly persists, phantom dark energy with w<-1 can absorb the Hubble tension only when the local H0 prior is included, and neutrino mass bo...
