The tensions concerning the values of Hubble constant obtained from the early and the late Universe data pose a significant challenge to modern cosmology. Possible modifications of the flat homogeneous isotropic cosmological ΛCDM model are considered, in which the Universe contains the dark energy, cold baryonic matter, and dark matter. They are based on general relativity and satisfy two requirements: (1) the value of the Hubble constant calculated from the value of the Hubble parameter at the recombination by formulas of the flat ΛCDM model, should be equal to 92% of the one based on low-redshift observations; (2) deviations from the ΛCDM model should not lead to effects that contradict astronomical observations and estimations obtained thereof. The analysis showed that there are few opportunities for the choice. Either we should consider DM with negative pressure −pdmc2 ≪ pdm < 0, which weakly affects the evolution of the Universe and the observed manifestations of DM, or we should admit the mechanism of generation of new matter, for example, by the dark energy decay.

We obtain the reduced CMB data {lA, R, z∗} from WMAP9, WMAP9+BKP, Planck+WP and Planck+WP+BKP for the ΛCDM and wCDM models with or without spatial curvature. We then use these reduced CMB data in combination with low-redshift observations to put constraints on cosmological parameters. We find that including BKP results in a higher value of the Hubble constant especially when the equation of state (EOS) of dark energy and curvature are allowed to vary. For the ΛCDM model with curvature, the estimate of the Hubble constant with Planck+WP+Lensing is inconsistent with the one derived from Planck+WP+BKP at about 1.2σ confidence level (CL).

We consider a model in which the Universe has an underpinning of oscillators in the quantum vacuum (or dark energy) at the Planck scale and deduce a number of otherwise inexplicable large number relations which have been considered to be empirical accidents. The analysis shows that the gravitational energy is the residual energy of the Planck oscillators constituting the Universe at large on the one hand, and elementary particles on the other. This explains a mysterious puzzle first pointed out by Weinberg several years ago, in a formula relating the pion mass to the Hubble constant, a puzzle which has remained unexplained ever since.

One of the greatest challenges of science is to understand the current accelerated expansion of the Universe. In this work we show that by considering the quantum nature of the gravitational field, its wavelength can be associated to an effective Compton mass. We propose that this mass can be interpreted as dark energy, with a Compton wavelength given by the size of the observable Universe, implying that the dark energy varies depending on this size. If we do so, we find that: 1.- Even without any free constant for dark energy, the evolution of the Hubble parameter is exactly the same as for the LCDM model, so this model has the same predictions as LCDM. 2.- The density rate of the dark energy is ΩΛ = 0.69 which is a very similar value as the one found by the Planck satellite ΩΛ = 0.684. 3.- The dark energy has this value because it corresponds to the actual size of the radius of the Universe, thus the coincidence problem has a very natural explanation. 4.- It is possible to find also a natural explanation to why observations inferred from the local distance ladder find the value H0 = 73 km/s/Mpc for the Hubble constant, we show that if we take the variability of the dark energy into account they should measure H0 = 67.3 km/s/Mpc as well. 5.- In this model the inflationary period contains a natural successful graceful exit.

It is shown that the Lambda component in the cosmological Lambda-CDM model can be conceived as vacuum energy, consisting of gravitational particles subject to Heisenberg&rsquo;s energy-time uncertainty. These particles can be modelled as elementary polarisable Dirac-type dipoles (&ldquo;darks&rdquo;) in a fluidal space at thermodynamic equilibrium, with spins that are subject to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. Around the baryonic kernels, uniformly distributed in the universe, the spins are polarized, thereby invoking an increase of the effective gravitational strength of the kernels. It explains the dark matter effect to the extent that the numerical value of Milgrom&rsquo;s acceleration constant can be assessed by theory. Non-polarized vacuum particles beyond the baryonic kernels compose the dark energy. The result is a quantum mechanical interpretation of gravity in terms of quantitatively established shares in baryonic matter, dark matter and dark energy, which correspond with the values of the Lambda-CDM model..

The growth rate of matter perturbation and the expansion rate of the Universe can be used to distinguish modified gravity and dark energy models. Remarkably, the growth rate can be approximated as Ωγ. We discuss the dependence of the growth index γ on the dimensionless matter energy density Ω for a more accurate approximation of the growth factor. The observational data are used to fit different models. The data strongly disfavor the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model. For the ΛCDM model, we find that [Formula: see text]. For the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model, we find that [Formula: see text].

В статье обсуждается вопрос о двух противоположных функциях черной дыры. С одной стороны она является творцом для галактики, а с другой - разрушителем барионной материи. Предполагается, что эти функции заложены самой эволюцией Вселенной. Деструкция материи до фотонов в ЧД считается наиболее вероятным событием. The question of two opposite functions of a black hole is discussed. On the one hand, it is the creator for the galaxy, and on the other-the destroyer of baryonic matter. It is assumed that these functions were laid down by the evolution of the Universe itself. The destruction of matter to photons in BH is considered the most likely event.

In 1955, Lee and Yang discussed a new massless gauge field based on the established conservation of baryon number. They predicted the existence of a repulsive force between baryonic matter, just as the conservation of electron–lepton number was later shown to imply the existence of a repulsive force between electrons. Although Eötvös experiments showed the force to be undetectably small at that time, such a force may be related to the dark-energy-induced acceleration of the expansion of the universe. If the gauge invariant Lagrangian involves a spacetime derivative of the field strength, the resultant potential has properties similar to that of the "dark energy" implied by the cosmological constant in the Einstein's equation.

The most important problem in fundamental physics is the description of the contents of the Universe. Today, we know that 95% thereof is totally unknown. Two thirds of that amount is the mysterious Dark Energy described in an interesting and important review [E. J. Copeland, M. Sami and S. Tsujikawa, Int. J. Mod. Phys. D 15 (2006) 1753]. We briefly extend here the ideas contained in that review including the more general Dark Sector, that is, Dark Matter and Dark Energy, eventually composing a new physical Sector. Understanding the Dark Sector with precision is paramount for us to be able to understand all the other cosmological parameters comprehensively as modifications of the modeling could lead to potential biases of inferred parameters of the model, such as measurements of the Hubble constant and distance indicators such as the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations. We discuss several modern methods of observation that can disentangle the different possible descriptions of the Dark Sector. The possible applications of some theoretical developments are also included in this paper as well as a more thorough evaluation of new observational techniques at lower frequencies and gravitational waves.

Interactions inside the cosmological dark sector influence the cosmological dynamics. As a consequence, the future evolution of the Universe may be different from that predicted by the ΛCDM model. We review main features of several recently studied models with nongravitational couplings between dark matter and dark energy.
