abstract
We review the implications of having a non-trivial matter component in the universe and the potential for detecting such a component through the matter power spectrum and ISW effect. We adopt a phenomenological approach and consider the mysterious dark energy to be a cosmic fluid. It is thus fully characterized, up to linear order, by its equation of state and its speed of sound. Whereas the equation of state has been widely studied in the literature, less interest has been devoted to the speed of sound. Its observational consequences come predominantly from very large scale modes of dark matter perturbations (k < 0.01 h.Mpc^{-1}). Since these modes have hardly been probed so far by large scale galaxy surveys, we investigate whether joint constraints that can be placed on those two quantities using the recent CMB fluctuations measurements by WMAP as well as the recently measured CMB large scale structure cross-correlation. We find only a tentative 1$sigma$ detection of the speed of sound, from CMB alone, c_{s}^{2}<0.04 at this low significance level. Furthermore, the current uncertainties in bias in the matter power spectrum preclude any constraints being placed using the cross correlation of CMB with the NVSS radio survey. We believe however that improvements in bias through improved survey scales and depths in the near future will improve hopes of detecting the speed of sound.

Modeling survey-window and integral-constraint effects on PNG in the galaxy power spectrum with light-cone mocks
Light-cone mocks demonstrate that analytical corrections for survey-window and integral-constraint effects on PNG in galaxy power spectra lose accuracy below the equality scale and fail when PNG is present, enabling u...

The silent dark sector: a field-theory approach to unified dark fluids with vanishing speed of sound
All vanishing-speed-of-sound TDiff scalar theories reduce to a two-parameter mimetic action describing the dark sector as interacting dust plus vacuum; a quadratic-potential example tracks the DESI CPL background.

Sound Mode and Scale-Dependent Growth in Two-Fluid Dynamical Dark Energy
DDE sound modes induce scale-dependent growth and halo bias comparable to massless neutrinos; multi-tracer P+B forecasts detect it for c_s^{2} ~ 10^{-2}–10^{-4}, while lower speeds produce ~10% drag on cluster growth-...

The sound of dynamical dark energy and modified gravity
Using CMB, SN, BAO and shear data, the work shows dynamical dark energy in MG models correlates with deviations from GR below z=2 at >95% CL, a link that holds for varying sound speed but vanishes for a cosmological constant.
