abstract

The main aim of this work is to explore the possibility that cold dark matter (CDM) and early dark energy (EDE) can be described by canonical scalar fields that are coupled at the level of its conservation equations. The formalism covers dynamical aspects at the background and linear perturbation levels for an arbitrary coupling function, followed by an example of it. We emphasize the impact of this model on the Matter Power Spectrum and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) spectra, with or without direct interaction. Our findings indicate that the presence of a scalar field can partially counteract the known effects of the other, opening the possibility to avoid some undesired aspects, such as the increase in $\Omega_{m}$ that usually is needed in the case of a purely EDE scalar field scenario, in order to fit the CMB spectra. This opens up the possibility to analyzing whether the interaction can help to ameliorate the cosmological tensions.

  1. Background-level reconstruction of scalar-field potentials from dark-energy histories and comparison with analytic potential families

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    A background reconstruction maps prescribed ρ_de(z) histories to V(φ) and ranks analytic potentials by Bayesian evidence, with exponential preferred for CPL and shifted-tanh for sign-switching targets.

  2. Cosmology of axion dark energy in supersymmetric models and constraints on high scale parameters

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A two-cosine axion dark energy potential fits CMB+BAO+supernova data better than the standard one-cosine potential, while preferring a sub-Planckian decay constant and a feeble dark-matter coupling.

  3. How Holographic is the Dark Energy? A Spline Nodal reconstruction approach

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A three-node spline reconstruction of holographic dark energy improves chi-squared over LambdaCDM by about 10 to 12, but Bayesian evidence gives no clear preference.

  4. Shadow constraints of charged black hole with scalar hair and gravitational waves from extreme mass ratio inspirals

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    EHT shadow data constrain the EMCS black hole charge and scalar hair to about 0.1 and 0.01 levels, while LISA EMRI waveforms could reach 0.01 and 0.0001 levels.
