Dark sector to restore cosmological concordance

چکیده
We develop a new phenomenological model that addresses current tensions between observations of the early and late Universe. Our scenario features: (i) decaying dark energy fluid (DDE), which undergoes transition at $z \sim 5,000$, to raise today's value Hubble parameter -- addressing $H_0$ tension, (ii) an ultra-light axion (ULA), starts oscillating $z\gtrsim 10^4$, suppress matter power spectrum $S_8$ tension. Markov Chain Monte Carlo analyses show such Dark Sector fits combination Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), Baryon Acoustic Oscillations, Large Scale Structure (LSS) data slightly better than $\Lambda$CDM model, while importantly reducing both with universe probes ($\lesssim 3\sigma$). Combined measurements from cosmic shear surveys, we find discrepancy on is reduced $1.4\sigma$ level, further raised. Adding local supernovae measurements, are $1.2\sigma$ level respectively, significant improvement $\Delta\chi^2\simeq -18$ compared model. With this complete dataset, DDE ULA detected $\simeq 4\sigma$ $\simeq2\sigma$, respectively. discuss possible particle physics realization confining gauge sector its associated axion, although embedding full details within microphysics remains urgent open question. will be decisively probed future CMB LSS surveys.

Gravitational Energy as Dark Energy: Concordance of Cosmological Tests
We provide quantitative evidence that a new solution to averaging the observed inhomogeneous structure of matter in the universe (Wiltshire 2007a,b), leads to an observationally viable cosmology without exotic dark energy. We find concordance parameters which simultaneously satisfy three independent tests: the match to the angular scale of the sound horizon detected in the cosmic microwave back...
متن کاملAn alternative to the cosmological ‘ concordance model ’
Precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background by WMAP are believed to have established a flat Λ-dominated universe, seeded by nearly scale-invariant adiabatic primordial fluctuations. However by relaxing the hypothesis that the fluctuation spectrum can be described by a single power law, we demonstrate that an Einstein-de Sitter universe with zero cosmological constant can fit the d...
متن کاملConcordance cosmology without dark energy
According to the separate universe conjecture, spherically symmetric sub-regions in an isotropic universe behave like mini-universes with their own cosmological parameters. This is an excellent approximation in both Newtonian and general relativistic theories. We estimate local expansion rates for a large number of such regions, and use a scale parameter calculated from the volumeaveraged incre...
متن کاملMapping Cosmological Observables to the Dark Kinetics
We study systematically which features in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and large-scale structure (LSS) probe various inhomogeneous properties of the dark sectors (including neutrinos, dark matter, and dark energy). We stress, and quantify by simple formulas, that the primary CMB anisotropies are very susceptible to the gravitational potentials during horizon entry, less at recombinatio...
متن کاملThe Self Creation Challenge to the Cosmological 'concordance Model'
It is important to have viable alternatives against which standard theories may be tested. In this paper such an alternative to the standard cosmological 'concordance model' is examined. It is shown how the theory of Self Creation Cosmology is as concordant as the standard model with cosmological observations and local experiments. This is due to a degeneracy in the interpretation of the data. ...
