Revival of the unified dark energy–dark matter model?
Orfeu Bertolami

Physical Review D, 2004

We consider the generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) proposal for unification of dark energy and dark matter and show that it admits an unique decomposition into dark energy and dark matter components once phantom-like dark energy is excluded. Within this framework, we study structure formation and show that difficulties associated to unphysical oscillations or blow-up in the matter power spectrum can be circumvented. Furthermore, we show that the dominance of dark energy is related to the time when energy density fluctuations start deviating from the linear δ ∼ a behaviour.

Theory for elementary particles, dark matter, dark energy, and galaxies
Thomas J Buckholtz

We show theory that spans tiny and vast aspects of physics. We suggest descriptions for new elementary particles, dark matter, and dark energy. We use those descriptions to explain data regarding dark matter effects, dark energy effects, and galaxy formation. Our mathematics-based modeling, descriptions, and explanations embrace and augment standard physics theory and modeling. One basis for our modeling is an extension to mathematics for harmonic oscillators.

Specifications for Elementary Particles, Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and Unifying Physics Theories
Thomas J Buckholtz

We suggest united models and specific predictions regarding elementary particles, dark matter, aspects of galaxy evolution, dark energy, and aspects of the cosmology timeline. Results include specific predictions for new elementary particles and specific descriptions of dark matter and dark energy. Some of our modeling matches known elementary particles and extrapolates to predict other elementary particles, including bases for dark matter. Some modeling explains observed ratios of effects of dark matter to effects of ordinary matter. Some models suggest aspects of galaxy formation and evolution. Some modeling correlates with eras of increases or decreases in the observed rate of expansion of the universe. Our modeling framework features mathematics for isotropic quantum harmonic oscillators and provides a framework for creating and unifying physics theories. Aspects of our approach emphasize existence of elementary particles and de-emphasize motion. Some of our models complement traditional quantum field theory and, for example, traditional calculations of anomalous magnetic dipole moments.

A Designed Model on the Nature of Dark Matter
Tasfiq Rahman

2016

By implementing the concept of classical physics in higher dimensional world, we may get some effect of higher dimensional space in our known three dimensional space.A bit flavor of this process has been described in this paper. Anew model has been designed here to relate higgs field with dark matter. Though it has not been proved yet, it can be said that if experiments proof this theory, higher dimensional universe may be shaped like the model drawn in this paper. Otherwise , we can say that dark matter does not have any relation with mass and a new parameter will be required to explain the conventional observation. It has been presented in Children Science Congress-2016 in Bangladesh.

Unified Modeling that Explains Dark Matter Data, Dark Energy Effects, and Galaxy Formation Stages
Thomas J Buckholtz

Physics lacks a confirmed description of dark matter, has yet to develop an adequate understanding of dark energy, and includes unverified conjectures regarding new elementary particles. This essay features modeling that addresses those problems and explains otherwise unexplained data. Our modeling starts from five bases – multipole expansions for the electromagnetic and gravitational fields associated with an object, the list of known elementary particles, some aspects of mathematics for isotropic harmonic oscillators, concordance cosmology, and a conjecture that the universe includes six isomers of most elementary particles. The multipole expansions – which have use in conjunction with Newtonian kinematics modeling, special relativity, and general relativity – lead to a catalog of kinematics properties such as charge, magnetic moment, mass, and repulsive gravitational pressure. The multipole expansions also point to all known elementary particles, some properties of those particles, and properties of some would-be elementary bosons and elementary fermions. The harmonic-oscillator mathematics points to Gauge symmetries regarding some elementary bosons. The would-be elementary fermions lack charge and would measure as dark matter. The conjecture regarding six isomers of most elementary particles rounds out and dominates our specification for dark matter. Five of the isomers form the basis for most dark matter. Our modeling explains ranges of observed ratios of dark matter effects to ordinary matter effects – for the universe, galaxy clusters, two sets of galaxies observed at high redshifts, three sets of galaxies observed at modest redshifts, and one type of depletion of cosmic microwave background radiation. Our description of repulsive gravitational pressure points toward resolution for tensions – between data and modeling – regarding the recent rate of expansion of the universe, resolution for possible tensions regarding large-scale clumping, and resolution for possible tensions regarding interactions between neighboring galaxies. Our work regarding gravity, dark matter, and elementary particles suggests characterizations for eras that might precede the inflationary epoch, a mechanism that might have produced baryon asymmetry, mechanisms that govern the rate of expansion of the universe, and insight about galaxy formation and evolution.

Unravelling the Dark Matter - Dark Energy Paradigm
Reginald T Cahill

2009

The standard LambdaCDM model of cosmology is usually understood to arise from demanding that the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric satisfy the General Relativity dynamics for spacetime metrics. The FLRW data-based dominant parameter values, Omega_Lambda=0.73 and Omega_m=0.27 for the dark energy and dark matter+matter, respectively, are then determined by fitting the supernova red-shift data. However in the pressure-less flat-space case the LambdaCDM

Dark matter, dark energy, and alternate models: A review
Shivappa Gudennavar

Advances in Space Research

The nature of dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE) which is supposed to constitute about 95% of the energy density of the universe is still a mystery. There is no shortage of ideas regarding the nature of both. While some candidates for DM are clearly ruled out, there is still a plethora of viable particles that fit the bill. In the context of DE, while current observations favour a cosmological constant picture, there are other competing models that are equally likely. This paper reviews the different possible candidates for DM including exotic candidates and their possible detection. This review also covers the different models for DE and the possibility of unified models for DM and DE. Keeping in mind the negative results in some of the ongoing DM detection experiments, here we also review the possible alternatives to both DM and DE (such as MOND and modifications of general relativity) and possible means of observationally distinguishing between the alternatives.

On the Nature of Dark Matter
Tonatiuh Matos

International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2004

Dark matter in the universe seems to be one of the most important puzzles science has to face in this moment. In this essay, we point out that dark matter could be a spin-0 fundamental interaction of Nature rather than a simple particle. From this hypothesis follows that dark matter behaves just as standard cold dark matter at cosmological level while still in good agreement with observations at galactic scales. This new interaction could be one of the scalar fields predicted by higher-dimensional theories.

Unified Theory of Dark Energy and Dark Matter
Tian Ma

New field equations of gravitations with a scalar potential ϕ are discovered, and are uniquely derived from the Einstein-Hilbert functional using the principle of Lagrangian dynamics subject to the divergence-free constraint of the Riemannian metric of space-time. The scalar potential ϕ induces a scalar potential energy density Φ, unifying dark energy and dark matter. In fact, Φ represents a new type of energy caused by the non-uniform distribution of matter in the universe. The negative part of this potential energy density Φ represents the dark matter, which produces attraction, and the positive part represents the dark energy, which drives the acceleration of expanding galaxies. In addition, Φ is conserved with mean zero: M ΦdM = 0.

The standard model, dark matter, and dark energy: From the sublime to the ridiculous
Lawrence Krauss

2004

The Standard Model of cosmology of the 1980's was based on a remarkable interplay of ideas from particle theory, experiment and astrophysical observations. That model is now dead, and has been replaced by something far more bizarre. Interestingly, the aspect that has survived involves perhaps the most exotic component: dark matter that dominates the gravitational dynamics of all galaxies, and appears to be composed of a sea of new weakly interacting elementary particles. But this sea of dark matter appears to play second fiddle to an unknown energy density that appears to permeate all of space, causing the expansion of the Universe to accelerate. We are left with many more questions than answers, and our vision of the future of the Universe has completely changed.

A United Description for Dark Matter and Dark Energy
Vo Van On

Communications in Physics

In this paper, we show a unifying description to the dark matter and dark energy. This description does not demand dark energy with the anti-gravitational property. It also points out a lower limit of the average mass of the particles of cosmological energy (ordinary matter, dark matter and dark energy particles) \(\bar{m}\gg 54\) eV. The coincident problem between the density of dark energy and one of matter is a clear fact.
