We demonstrate how the two dominant constituents of the Universe, dark energy and dark matter, could possess a large scattering cross-section without considerably impacting observations. Unlike models involving energy exchange between the two fluids, the background cosmology remains unaltered, leaving fewer observational signatures. Following a brief review of the scattering cross-sections between cosmologically significant particles, we explore the implications of an elastic interaction between dark matter and dark energy. The growth of large scale structure is suppressed, yet this effect is found to be weak due to the persistently low dark energy density. Thus we conclude that the dark matter-dark energy cross section may exceed the Thomson cross-section by several orders of magnitude.

  1. Disentangling Similarity and Relatedness in Topic Models

    cs.CL 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0

    Topic models lie on a spectrum from thematic-relatedness-rich to similarity-rich, and that position predicts which downstream tasks they handle well.

  2. Phantom-divide crossing and suppressed structure growth in kinetically braided dark energy with momentum exchange

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A linearly stable kinetic-braiding dark-energy model with CDM momentum exchange realizes upward phantom-divide crossing and weak CDM gravitational clustering, altering matter and CMB spectra.

  3. Revisiting observational constraints on coupled exponential quintessence with energy and momentum transfers: degeneracy with massive neutrinos

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    Allowing the neutrino mass to vary removes the 2σ evidence for momentum transfer between dark energy and dark matter in coupled quintessence, via a degeneracy with the energy-exchange coupling.

  4. Disentangling Similarity and Relatedness in Topic Models

    cs.CL 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Topic-model families occupy distinct positions on a similarity–relatedness plane, and those positions predict which downstream tasks they help or hurt.

  5. Dark sector interactions in the $w \rightarrow -1$ limit: velocity locking in pure momentum exchange models

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    In momentum-exchange dark sector models, the suppression of matter clustering moves to smaller scales as w→−1 due to velocity locking, and ignoring DE perturbations erases this effect.

  6. Dark matter-baryons elastic coupling

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    A new dark-matter–baryon momentum-transfer interaction suppresses small-scale clustering and is mildly preferred by data when a low-redshift S8 measurement is included.
