نویسنده
چکیده
Models with dark energy decaying into dark matter have been proposed to solve the coincidence problem in cosmology. We study the effect of such coupling in the matter power spectrum. Due to the interaction, the growth of matter density perturbations during the radiation dominated regime is slower compared to non-interacting models with the same ratio of dark matter to dark energy today. This effect introduces a damping on the power spectrum at small scales proportional to the strength of the interaction, c, and similar to the effect generated by ultrarelativistic neutrinos. The interaction also shifts matter–radiation equality to larger scales. We compare the matter power spectrum of interacting quintessence models with the measurments of 2dFGRS. The data are insensitive to values of c ≤ 10 but strongly constraints larger values. We particularize our study to models that during radiation domination have a constant dark matter to dark energy ratio.

The supernovae Ia data are used to analyze two general exact solutions for quintessence models. The best fit values for Ω m0 are smaller than in the Λ-term model, but still acceptable. With present-day data, it is not possible to discriminate among the various situations.

Received (received date) Revised (revised date) We study quintessence models with a constant (effective) equation of state. It is investigated whether such quintessence models are consistent with a negative spatial curvature of the Universe with respect to the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation measured by the WMAP mission. If the reionization is negligibly small, it is fou...

Quintessence – the energy density of a slowly evolving scalar field – may constitute a dynamical form of the homogeneous dark energy in the universe. We review the basic idea and indicate observational tests which may distinguish quintessence from a cosmological constant.
