Field theory model for dark matter and dark energy in interaction

Abstract: We propose a field theory model for dark energy and dark matter in interaction. Comparing the classical solutions of the field equations with the observations of the CMB shift parameter, BAO, lookback time and Gold supernovae sample, we observe a possible interaction between dark sectors with energy decay from dark energy into dark matter. The observed interaction provides an alleviation to the coincidence problem.

“…Later on, Wetterich [5], Micheletti, Abdalla, and Wang [6], Polyakov [7], and Abdalla, Graef, and Wang [8], among others, reinforced the theoretical framework. As we write, the number of proposals (both from the theoretical as well as from the phenomenological side) has been greatly augmented -see e.g.…”

“…Since we know the nature of neither DM nor DE, it is hard to describe the interaction between them, although there are some attempts on this task [27][28][29][30]. Our study on the interaction between dark sectors will concentrate on the phenomenological descriptions.…”

“…We have to solve Friedmann's equations, the equation of motion for the scalar field, and the Dirac equation. We know that the homogeneous Dirac equation in a homogeneous and isotropic spacetime has a simple solution in terms of the scale factor, and we can see that " c c ¼ =a 3 , where is a constant related to the energy density of the dark matter at the present phase of the history of the Universe [30]. Therefore, the system of equations that remains to be solved is…”
