Probing two approaches to Unified Dark Dynamics    [PDF]

Jorge L. Cervantes-Cota, Alejandro Aviles, Josue De-Santiago
Dark matter and dark energy are essential in the description of the late Universe, since at least the epoch of equality. On the other hand, the inflation is also necessary and demands a "dark" component, usually associated to a scalar field that dominated the dynamics and kinematics in the very early Universe. Yet, these three dark components of standard model of cosmology are independent from each other, although there are alternative models that pursue to achieve a triple unification, or at least a double. In the present work we present an update of two models that we have considered in recent years. The first is the "dark fluid" model in which dark matter and dark energy are the same thing, achieving a double unification with specific properties that exactly emulate the standard model of cosmology, given the dark degeneracy that exists in the LCDM model. The second model is given by a single F(X) scalar field Lagrangian, with which one is able to model the whole cosmological dynamics, from inflation to today, representing a triple unification model. We highlight the main properties of these models, as well as we test them against known cosmological probes.
