abstract

We investigate potential deviations from cold dark matter (CDM) using the latest Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) measurements from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). Analyzing DESI data alone constrains the dark matter equation of state parameter $w_{\mathrm{dm}} = -0.042^{+0.047}_{-0.024}$, revealing a mild preference for non-cold dark matter. This preference strengthens significantly in combined analyses, but reveals a striking tension in the inferred $w_{\mathrm{dm}}$ values from observations of different nature. The DESI+DESY5 combination yields $w_{\mathrm{dm}} = -0.084 \pm 0.035$, excluding CDM ($w_{\mathrm{dm}}=0$) at 2.4$\sigma$ significance. In contrast, Planck+DESI gives $w_{\mathrm{dm}} = 0.00077\pm0.00038$, differing from concordance model at 2$\sigma$ significance. The non-vanishing $w_{\mathrm{dm}}$ preference is particularly driven by low-redshift BAO measurements ($z<1.1$), while higher redshift data remain consistent with $\Lambda$CDM. The evidence for non-cold dark matter is more pronounced in DESI compared to the previous BAO surveys. All dataset combinations show significant improvement over the $\Lambda$CDM paradigm, providing compelling evidence for non-cold dark matter scenario.
