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

The Abell cluster A586 and the detection of violation of the equivalence principle
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the current bounds on the equivalence principle from structure formation and, reexamine in this context, the recent claim on the evidence of the interaction between dark matter and dark energy in the Abell Cluster A586 and the ensued violation of the EP.

Can f(R) Modified Gravity Theories Mimic a LCDM Cosmology
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider f(R) modified gravity theories in the metric variation formalism and attempt to reconstruct the function f (R) by demanding a background {lambda}CDM cosmology.

Note on Tsallis holographic dark energy
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of considering various infrared (IR) cutoffs, including the particle horizon, the Ricci horizon and the Granda-Oliveros (GO) cutoff, on the properties of the Tsallis holographic dark energy (THDE) model, proposed inspired by the generalized entropy formalism, were explored.

Generalized second law of thermodynamics in f ( T ) gravity with entropy corrections
TL;DR: In this article, the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics in f(T) cosmology, where T is the torsion scalar in teleparallelism, is studied and conditions for the GSL to be satisfied or violated by imposing constraints on model parameters.

Observational constraints on sign-changeable interaction models and alleviation of the H 0 tension
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate various scenarios which include interaction forms between dark matter and dark energy that exhibit sign reverse, namely where the transfer of energy between the dark fluids changes sign during evolution.
