Dark energy/matter unification is first demonstrated within the framework of a simplified model. Geodetic evolution of a cosmological constant dominated bubble Universe, free of genuine matter, is translated into a specific FRW cosmology whose effectively induced dark component highly resembles the cold dark matter ansatz. The realistic extension constitutes a dark soliton which bridges past (radiation and/or matter dominated) and future (cosmological constant dominated) Einstein regimes; its experimental signature is a moderate redshift dependent cold dark matter deficiency function.

We show that Dark Matter consisting of bosons of mass of about 1eV or less has critical temperature exceeding the temperature of the universe at all times, and hence would have formed a Bose-Einstein condensate at very early epochs. We also show that the wavefunction of this condensate, via the quantum potential it produces, gives rise to a cosmological constant which may account for the correct dark energy content of our universe. We argue that massive gravitons or axions are viable candidates for these constituents. In the far future this condensate is all that remains of our universe.
Recently, Kallosh and Linde have drawn attention to a new family of superconformal inflationary potentials, subsequently called $alpha$-attractors. The $alpha$-attractor family can interpolate between a large class of inflationary models. It also has an important theoretical underpinning within the framework of supergravity. We demonstrate that the $alpha$-attractors have an even wider appeal since they may describe dark matter and perhaps even dark energy. The dark matter associated with the $alpha$-attractors, which we call $alpha$-dark matter ($alpha$DM), shares many of the attractive features of fuzzy dark matter, with $V(varphi) = frac{1}{2}m^2varphi^2$, while having none of its drawbacks. Like fuzzy dark matter, $alpha$DM can have a large Jeans length which could resolve the cusp-core and substructure problems faced by standard cold dark matter. $alpha$DM also has an appealing tracker property which enables it to converge to the late-time dark matter asymptote, $langle wrangle simeq 0$, from a wide range of initial conditions. It thus avoids the enormous fine-tuning problems faced by the $m^2varphi^2$ potential in describing dark matter.

The cosmological energy density $rho_{_{_Lambda}}$ at the Planck scale $M_{rm pl}$ drives inflation and simultaneously reduces its value to create the pair-energy density $rho_{_{_M}}$ via the continuous pair productions of massive fermions and antifermions. The decreasing $rho_{_{_Lambda}}$ and increasing $rho_{_{_M}}$, in turn, slows down the inflation to its end when the pair production rate $Gamma_M$ is larger than the Hubble rate $H$ of inflation. A large number of massive pairs is produced and reheating epoch starts. In addition to the Einstein equation and energy-conservation law, we introduce the Boltzmann-type rate equation describing the number of pairs produced from (annihilating to) the spacetime, and reheating equation describing massive unstable pairs decay to relativistic particles and thermodynamic laws. This forms a close set of four independent differential equations uniquely determining $H$, $rho_{_Lambda}$, $rho_{_M}$ and radiation-energy density $rho_{_R}$, given the initial conditions at inflation end. Numerical solutions demonstrate three episodes of preheating, massive pairs dominate and genuine reheating. Results show that $rho_{_Lambda}$ can efficiently convert to $rho_{_M}$ by producing massive pairs, whose decay accounts for reheating $rho_{_R}$, temperature and entropy of the Big-Bang Universe. The stable massive pairs instead account for cold dark matter. Using CMB and baryon number-to-entropy ratio measurements, we constrain the effective mass of pairs, Yukawa coupling and degeneracies of relativistic particles. As a result, the obtained inflation $e$-folding number, reheating scale, temperature and entropy are in terms of the tensor-to-scalar ratio in the theoretically predicated range $0.042lesssim r lesssim 0.048$, consistently with current observations.
Here we generalize ideas of unified Dark Matter Dark Energy in the context of Two Measure Theories and of Dynamical space time Theories. In Two Measure Theories one uses metric independent volume elements and this allows to construct unified Dark Matter Dark Energy, where the cosmological constant appears as an integration constant associated to the equation of motion of the measure fields. The Dynamical space time Theories generalize the Two Measure Theories by introducing a vector field whose equation of motion guarantees the conservation of a certain Energy Momentum tensor, which may be related, but in general is not the same as the gravitational Energy Momentum tensor. We propose two formulations of this idea: I - by demanding that this vector field be the gradient of a scalar, II - by considering the dynamical space field appearing in another part of the action. Then the Dynamical space time Theory becomes a theory of Diffusive Unified Dark Energy and Dark Matter. These generalizations produce non conserved energy momentum tensors instead of conserved energy momentum tensors which leads at the end to a formulation of interacting DE-DM dust models in the form of a diffusive type interacting Unified Dark Energy and Dark Matter scenario. We solved analytically the theories for perturbative solution and asymptotic solution, and we show that the $Lambda$CDM is a fixed point of these theories at large times. Also a preliminary argument about the good behavior of the theory at the quantum level is proposed for both theories.
We apply a parametric reconstruction method to a homogeneous, isotropic and spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmological model filled of a fluid of dark energy (DE) with constant equation of state parameter interacting with dark matter (DM). The reconstruction method is based on expansions of the general interaction term and the relevant cosmological variables in terms of Chebyshev polynomials which form a complete set orthonormal functions. This interaction term describes an exchange of energy flow between the DE and DM within dark sector. To show how the method works we do the reconstruction of the interaction function expanding it in terms of only the first three Chebyshev polynomials and obtain the best estimation for the coefficients of the expansion as well as for the DE equation of the state constant parameter w using the type Ia Supernova SCP Union data set (307 SNe-Ia). The preliminary reconstruction shows that in the best scenario there is an energy transfer from DM to DE which worsen the problem of the cosmic coincidence in comparison with the LCDM model. We conclude that this fact is an indication of a serious drawback for the existence of such interaction between dark components.
