TLDR
The cosmological consequences of such a coupled quintessence (CQ) model, assuming an exponential potential and a linear coupling, were investigated in this article, where the authors evaluated the density perturbations on the cosmic microwave background and on the galaxy distribution at the present and derived bounds on the coupling constant.Abstract:
A new component of the cosmic medium, a light scalar field or ''quintessence '', has been proposed recently to explain cosmic acceleration with a dynamical cosmological constant Such a field is expected to be coupled explicitely to ordinary matter, unless some unknown symmetry prevents it I investigate the cosmological consequences of such a coupled quintessence (CQ) model, assuming an exponential potential and a linear coupling This model is conformally equivalent to Brans-Dicke Lagrangians with power-law potential I evaluate the density perturbations on the cosmic microwave background and on the galaxy distribution at the present and derive bounds on the coupling constant from the comparison with observational data A novel feature of CQ is that during the matter dominated era the scalar field has a finite and almost constant energy density This epoch, denoted as $\phi $MDE, is responsible of several differences with respect to uncoupled quintessence: the multipole spectrum of the microwave background is tilted at large angles, the acoustic peaks are shifted, their amplitude is changed, and the present 8Mpc$/h$ density variance is diminished The present data constrain the dimensionless coupling constant to $|\beta |\leq 01$read more

Scrutinizing various phenomenological interactions in the context of holographic Ricci dark energy models
TL;DR: In this article, two types of interacting holographic dark energy models were examined using Pantheon supernova data, BAO BOSS DR12, CMB Planck 2015, fgas (gas mass fraction) and SZ/Xray (Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect and X-ray emission) data from galaxy clusters (GC).

Cosmological models with running cosmological term and decaying dark matter
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the dynamics of the generalized Λ CDM model, which the Λ term is running with the cosmological time, and pointed out that during the cosmic evolution there is a long phase in which this term is approximately constant.

Geometry and Matter Reduction in a 5d Kaluza-Klein Framework
TL;DR: This work provides a consistent approach to matter where the problem of huge massive modes is removed, without relaxing the compactification hypotheses, and performs the dimensional reduction either for metric fields and for matter, thus identifying a pure 4D tensor term, a 4D vector term and a scalar one.
