Holographic Ricci DE as running vacuum with nonlinear interaction

Abstract

The holographic Ricci dark energy (HRDE) can be treated as a running vacuum due to its analogy in the energy density, which is a combination of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the model can predict either eternal acceleration or eternal deceleration. In the earlier works, we have shown that the presence of additive constant in the energy density or by considering possible interaction between dark sectors through a phenomenological term, the model can predict a transition from a prior decelerated to a late accelerated epoch. This paper analyzes the cosmic evolution of HRDE as running vacuum with a nonlinear interaction (NLI) between dark sectors in a flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe. We consider three possible NLI forms which give analytically feasible solutions. We have constrained the model using the Type1a Supernova(Pantheon) + CMB(Planck 2018) + BAO(SDSS) data and evaluated the best estimated values of all the model parameters. We have analyzed the evolution of the Hubble parameter and deceleration parameter of all three cases. We perform state finder analysis of the model, which implies the quintessence nature of the model and found that it is distinguishably different from the standard [Formula: see text]CDM model. The dynamical system analysis of all three cases confirms the evolution of the universe from an unstable prior matter-dominated era to a stable end de Sitter phase.
