In order to test if there is energy transfer between dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM), we investigate cosmological constraints on two forms of nontrivial interaction between the DM sector and the sector responsible for the acceleration of the universe, in light of the newly revised observations including OHD, CMB, BAO and SNe Ia. More precisely, we find the same tendencies for both phenomenological forms of the interaction term Q = 3γHρ, i.e. the parameter γ to be a small number, |γ| ≈ 10-2. However, concerning the sign of the interaction parameter, we observe that γ > 0 when the interaction between dark sectors is proportional to the energy density of dust matter, whereas the negative coupling (γ < 0) is preferred by observations when the interaction term is proportional to DE density. We further discuss two possible explanations to this incompatibility and apply a quantitative criteria to judge the severity of the coincidence problem. Results suggest that the γm IDE model with a positive coupling may alleviate the coincidence problem, since its coincidence index C is smaller than that for the γd IDE model, the interacting quintessence and phantom models by four orders of magnitude.

In this work, a cosmological model inspired by string/M-theory with fermionic field is taken into consideration. Here it is investigated whether the introduction of a non-Dirac fermionic field — characterized by an interaction term — affects the cosmological evolution. The self-interaction potential is considered as a combination of the scalar and pseudoscalar invariants. It is observed that the fermionic field under consideration behaves like an inflation field for the early universe and later on, as a dark energy field. The late time acceleration becomes more prominent by the addition of the interaction term. There is a slight decrease for the inflation peak as well as for the energy density. We see that the addition of higher-order terms to the fermionic part of Lagrangian does not significantly change either the inflation or the late time acceleration behavior.

We present a six-dimensional system describing coupled troposphere-stratosphere dynamics which takes the form of two coupled Lorenz-84 systems (one for each of the troposphere and stratosphere) involving thermal forcing terms. The systems are coupled through a linear interaction term, which permits energy transfer between both troposphere and stratosphere layers. While other six-dimensional systems giving hyperchaos and multiscroll attractors have been found in the literature, the coupled systems given here arise naturally from the physical problem. In particular, the resulting six-dimensional system constitutes a physically interesting model where the stratosphere-troposphere dynamics are coupled to one another (rather than just coupling the troposphere dynamics to the stratosphere, while keeping the time evolution of the stratosphere independent). This model gives bounded dynamics and for some parameters exhibits chaos or hyperchaos. Interestingly, there are parameter regimes for which the dynamics go directly between periodic orbits and hyperchaos, bypassing an intermediate chaos step. The precise form of the coupling between the two Lorenz-84 systems is found to strongly influence the solution behavior. We find that even small coupling from the stratosphere back to the troposphere can destabilize the system and yield hyperchaotic dynamics, while for other parameter sets this coupling can instead yield smooth dynamics in both regions.

We examine the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics in a non-flat universe in the presence of viscous dark energy. First we assume that the universe is filled only with viscous dark energy. Then, we extend our study to the case where there is an interaction between viscous dark energy and pressureless dark matter. We examine the time evolution of the total entropy, including the entropy associated with the apparent horizon and the entropy of the viscous dark energy inside the apparent horizon. Our study shows that the generalized second law of thermodynamics is always protected in a universe filled with interacting viscous dark energy and dark matter in a region enclosed by the apparent horizon. Finally, we show that the the generalized second law of thermodynamics is fulfilled for a universe filled with interacting viscous dark energy and dark matter by taking into account the Casimir effect.

We use the time delay measurements between multiple images of lensed sources in 18 strongly gravitationally lensed (SGL) systems to put additional constraints on three phenomenological interaction models for dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM). The compatibility among the fits on the three models seems to imply that the coupling between DE and DM is a small value close to zero, which is compatible with the previous results for constraining interacting DE parameters. We find that, among the three interacting DE models, the [Formula: see text]IDE model with the interaction term [Formula: see text] proportional to the energy density of DM provides relatively better fits to recent observations. However, the coincidence problem is still very severe in the framework of three interacting DE models, since the fitting results do not show any preference for a nonzero coupling between DE and DM. More importantly, we have studied the significance of the current strong lensing data in deriving the interacting information between dark sectors, which highlights the importance of strong lensing time delay measurements to provide additional observational fits on alternative cosmological models.

In this paper, we have studied and investigated the behavior of a modified holographic Ricci dark energy (DE) model interacting with pressureless dark matter (DM) under the theory of modified gravity, dubbed logarithmic f(T) gravity. We have chosen the interaction term between DE and DM in the form Q = 3γHρm and investigated the behavior of the torsion, T, the Hubble parameter, H, the equation of state parameter, ωDE, the energy density of DE, ρDE, and the energy density contribution due to torsion, ρT, as functions of the redshift, z. We have found that T increases with the redshift, z, H increases with the evolution of the universe, ωDE has a quintessence-like behavior, and both energy densities increase going from higher to lower redshifts.

This article generalizes the conditional probability interpretation of time in which time evolution is realized through entanglement between a clock and a system of interest. This formalism is based upon conditioning a solution to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation on a subsystem of the Universe, serving as a clock, being in a state corresponding to a time t. Doing so assigns a conditional state to the rest of the Universe |ψS(t)⟩, referred to as the system. We demonstrate that when the total Hamiltonian appearing in the Wheeler-DeWitt equation contains an interaction term coupling the clock and system, the conditional state |ψS(t)⟩ satisfies a time-nonlocal Schrödinger equation in which the system Hamiltonian is replaced with a self-adjoint integral operator. This time-nonlocal Schrödinger equation is solved perturbatively and three examples of clock-system interactions are examined. One example considered supposes that the clock and system interact via Newtonian gravity, which leads to the system's Hamiltonian developing corrections on the order of G/c4 and inversely proportional to the distance between the clock and system.

By assuming generalized nonlinear and linear interaction term between dark matter and dark energy, we investigate the cosmic accelerated expansion of the universe. For this reason, we suppose a flat fractal universe platform as well as Tsallis holographic dark energy model. The Hubble horizon is being adopted as an infrared cutoff and extracted different cosmological parameters as well as plane. It is observed that equation-of-state parameter exhibits the quintom-like nature while ([Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]) lies in thawing and freezing regions for different parametric values for both the cases. Furthermore, the squared sound speed shows stable behavior for nonlinear interaction term but shows the partially stable behavior for linear term. For both cases, the deceleration parameter leads to the accelerated phase of the universe and the consequences are comparable with observational data. The results for [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] plane, leads to the quintessence and phantom region of the universe for nonlinear case while this plane represents the Chaplygin gas behavior for linear term. The [Formula: see text] diagnostic also shows the satisfying results.
