Cosmological Constraints on the Sign-Changeable Interactions

Recently, Cai and Su [Phys. Rev. D 81 （2010） 103514] found that the sign of interaction Q in＇the dark sector changed in the approximate redshift range of 0.45 ≤ z ≤0.9, by using a modeMndependent method to deal with the observational data. In fact, this result raises a remarkable problem, since most of the familiar interactions cannot change their signs in the whole cosmic history. Motivated by the work of Cai and Su, we have proposed a new type of interaction in a previous work [H. Wei, Nucl. Phys. B 845 （2011） 381]. The key ingredient is the deceleration parameter q in the interaction Q, and hence the interaction Q can change its sign when our universe changes from deceleration （q 〉0） to acceleration （q 〈 0）. In the present work, we consider the cosmologicai constraints on this new type of sign-changeable interactions, by using the latest observational data. We find that the cosmological constraints on the model parameters are fairly tight. In particular, the key parameter β can be constrained to a narrow range.

Probing the sign-changeable interaction between dark energy and dark matter with current observations

We consider the models of vacuum energy interacting with cold dark matter in this study, in which the coupling can change sigh during the cosmological evolution. We parameterize the running coupling b by the form b（a） = boa ＋ be（1 - a）, where at the earlytime the coupling is given by a constant be and today the coupling is described by another constant bo. We explore six specific models with （i） Q = b（a）Hoρo, （ii） Q = b（a）Hoρde, （iii） Q = b（a）Hoρc, （iv） Q = b（a）Hρo, （v） Q = b（a）Hρde, and （vi） Q = b（a）Hρc. The current observational data sets we use to constrain the models include the JLA compilation of type Ia supernova data, the Planck 2015 distance priors data of cosmic microwave background observation, the baryon acoustic oscillations measurements and the Hubble constant direct measurement. We find that, for all the models, we have b0 〈 0 and be 〉 0 at around the lolevel, and b0 and be are in extremely strong anti-correlation. Our results show that the coupling changes sign during the evolution at about the lolevel, i.e., the energy transfer is from dark matter to dark energy when dark matter dominates the universe and the energy transfer is from dark energy to dark matter when dark energy dominates the universe.

Agegraphic Dark Energy with the Sign-Changeable Interaction in Non-Flat Universe

In this paper,we investigate the agegraphic dark energy(ADE) model by including the sign-changeable interaction between ADE and dark matter in non-flat universe.The interaction Q can change its sign from Q < 0 to Q > 0 as the universe expands.This indicates that at first dark matter decays to ADE,and then ADE decays to dark matter.We study the dynamical behavior of the model by using the phase-plane analysis.It is shown numerically that the coupling constant β plays an important role in the evolution of the universe.The equation of state(Eo S) of ADE with the sign-changeable interaction is more likely to cross the phantom divide w_d =-1 from top to bottom with the increasing of the |β|.Whereas in ADE model with usual interaction,wd can cross the phantom divide from bottom to top.We also find that our model is consistent with the observational data.

THE EXISTENCE AND CONCENTRATION OF GROUND STATE SIGN-CHANGING SOLUTIONS FOR KIRCHHOFF-TYPE EQUATIONS WITH A STEEP POTENTIAL WELL

In this paper,we consider the nonlinear Kirchhoff type equation with a steep potential well−(a+b∫_(R)^(3)|∇u|^(2 )dx)Δu+λV(x)u=f(u)in R^(3),where a,b>0 are constants,λ is a positive parameter,V∈C(R3,R)is a steep potential well and the nonlinearity f∈C(R,R)satisfies certain assumptions.By applying a signchanging Nehari manifold combined with the method of constructing a sign-changing(PS)C sequence,we obtain the existence of ground state sign-changing solutions with precisely two nodal domains when λ is large enough,and find that its energy is strictly larger than twice that of the ground state solutions.In addition,we also prove the concentration of ground state sign-changing solutions.
