abstract
As we are entering the era of precision cosmology, it is necessary to count on accurate cosmological predictions from any proposed model of dark matter. In this paper we present a novel approach to the cosmological evolution of scalar fields that eases their analytic and numerical analysis at the background and at the linear order of perturbations. We apply the method to a scalar field endowed with a quadratic potential and revisit its properties as dark matter. Some of the results known in the literature are recovered, and a better understanding of the physical properties of the model is provided. It is shown that the Jeans wavenumber defined as $k_J = a \sqrt{mH}$ is directly related to the suppression of linear perturbations at wavenumbers $k>k_J$. We also discuss some semi-analytical results that are well satisfied by the full numerical solutions obtained from an amended version of the CMB code CLASS. Finally we draw some of the implications that this new treatment of the equations of motion may have in the prediction for cosmological observables.

Fuzzy Axions and Associated Relics
In explicit string theory compactifications, fuzzy axion dark matter is rare and typically requires fine-tuning of initial axion displacements or a non-standard reheating epoch to avoid overproducing heavier axions.

Accurate method for ultralight axion CMB and matter power spectra
AxiECAMB computes CMB and matter power spectra for ultralight axions across 10^-33 to 10^-18 eV by time-averaging fast field oscillations, with metric and fluid matching that reduces errors far below cosmic variance f...

Inflationary Axion Isocurvature in the CMB across All Ultralight Masses
Accurate axion-isocurvature evolution across the full ultralight mass range converts Planck and BICEP bounds into inflation-scale limits and reveals a small discovery window near m_a ~ 10^-25 eV.

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

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.

Cosmology of axion dark energy in supersymmetric models and constraints on high scale parameters
A two-cosine axion dark energy potential fits CMB+BAO+supernova data better than the standard one-cosine potential, while preferring a sub-Planckian decay constant and a feeble dark-matter coupling.

Interacting Scalar Fields as Dark Energy and Dark Matter in Einstein scalar Gauss Bonnet Gravity
Interacting scalar fields coupled to Gauss-Bonnet gravity yield viable dark energy and dark matter models that match Pantheon+ and DES supernova data while preferring over LambdaCDM at high redshifts with Roman mocks.

A Fast and Accurate Implementation of the Effective Fluid Approximation for Ultralight Axions
An implementation of the Passaglia-Hu effective fluid approximation in CAMB achieves accurate CMB predictions for ultralight axions and yields new upper limits on their abundance from Planck PR4 and DESI BAO data.
