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

Species, chameleonic strings and the concept of particle
TL;DR: In this article, a chameleonic solution to the cosmological constant problem is proposed, which is based on a dual nature of the concept of particle where a splitting in local and global components is introduced.

Spherical Collapse with Dark Energy
TL;DR: In this paper, Maor and Lahav discuss the consequences of allowing the dark energy to cluster and including dark energy in the virialization process, and suggest a potentially differentiating signature between a true cosmological constant and a dynamic form of dark energy.

Cosmology With Axionic-quintessence Coupled with Dark Matter
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the possibility of explaining the late time acceleration with an axion field which is coupled with the dark matter sector of the energy budget of the universe and showed that coupled axion models are allowed to have larger deviation from the cosmological constant by the present observational data.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cosmological model in the background of Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) space time is studied by assuming an appropriate parametrization in the form of a differential equation in terms of energy density of scalar field.
