We consider Dark Matter self-interactions mediated by ultralight scalars. We show that effectively massless mediators lead to an enhancement of the matter power spectrum, while heavier mediators lead to a suppression, together with a feature around their Jeans scale. We derive the strongest present constraints by combining Planck and BOSS data. The recent DESI measurements of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations exhibit a mild $2\sigma$ preference for long-range self-interactions, as strong as $4$ per mille of the gravitational coupling. Full-shape analyses of forthcoming DESI and Euclid data will confirm or disprove such a hint.

  1. Constraining interacting dark energy models with black hole superradiance

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Black hole superradiance constrains the coupling strength in interacting dark energy-dark matter models through modifications to the effective mass of ultralight bosons in two scenarios.

  2. Multi-species Dark Matter with Warmth and Randomness

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Presents a general analytic framework based on truncated BBGKY hierarchy solved via Volterra equations for computing power spectra in multi-species dark matter with finite velocity dispersion and Poisson fluctuations.

  3. Natural Phantom Dark Energy from a $\mathbb{Z}_N$--Axion

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    A Z_N-symmetric multi-copy dark-QCD axion, broken by single-sector reheating, yields natural phantom-crossing dark energy with dark-pion DM in a viable parameter window.

  4. Disentangling cosmic distance tensions with early and late dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Early dark energy resolves CMB-BAO tension and, combined with thawing quintessence, reduces overall cosmological tensions without phantom crossing.

  5. Reanalyzing DESI DR1: 2. Constraints on Dark Energy, Spatial Curvature, and Neutrino Masses

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Reanalysis of DESI full-shape clustering data tightens constraints on neutrino mass, spatial curvature, and dark energy equation-of-state parameters relative to BAO-only results.
