The rate of structure formation in the Universe is different in homogeneous and clustered dark energy models. The degree of dark energy clustering depends on the magnitude of its effective sound speed $c^{2}_{rm eff}$ and for $c_{rm eff}=0$ dark energy clusters in a similar fashion to dark matter while for $c_{rm eff}=1$ it stays (approximately) homogeneous. In this paper we consider two distinct equations of state for the dark energy component, $w_{rm d}=const$ and $w_{rm d}=w_0+w_1left(frac{z}{1+z}right)$ with $c_{rm eff}$ as a free parameter and we try to constrain the dark energy effective sound speed using current available data including SnIa, Baryon Acoustic Oscillation, CMB shift parameter ({em Planck} and {em WMAP}), Hubble parameter, Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and the growth rate of structures $fsigma_{8}(z)$. At first we derive the most general form of the equations governing dark matter and dark energy clustering under the assumption that $c_{rm eff}=const$. Finally, performing an overall likelihood analysis we find that the likelihood function peaks at $c_{rm eff}=0$, however the dark energy sound speed is degenerate with respect to the cosmological parameters, namely $Omega_{rm m}$ and $w_{rm d}$.

In this paper we study the evolution of cosmological perturbations in the presence of dynamical dark energy, and revisit the issue of dark energy perturbations. For a generally parameterized equation of state (EoS) such as w_D(z) = w_0+w_1frac{z}{1+z }, (for a single fluid or a single scalar field ) the dark energy perturbation diverges when its EoS crosses the cosmological constant boundary w_D=-1. In this paper we present a method of treating the dark energy perturbations during the crossing of the $w_D=-1$ surface by imposing matching conditions which require the induced 3-metric on the hypersurface of w_D=-1 and its extrinsic curvature to be continuous. These matching conditions have been used widely in the literature to study perturbations in various models of early universe physics, such as Inflation, the Pre-Big-Bang and Ekpyrotic scenarios, and bouncing cosmologies. In all of these cases the EoS undergoes a sudden change. Through a detailed analysis of the matching conditions, we show that delta_D and theta_D are continuous on the matching hypersurface. This justifies the method used[1-4] in the numerical calculation and data fitting for the determination of cosmological parameters. We discuss the conditions under which our analysis is applicable.
In this work, we study the extended viscous dark energy models in the context of matter perturbations. To do this, we assume an alternative interpretation of the flat Friedmann-Lema^itre-Robertson-Walker Universe, through the nonadditive entropy and the viscous dark energy. We implement the relativistic equations to obtain the growth of matter fluctuations for a smooth version of dark energy. As result, we show that the matter density contrast evolves similarly to the $Lambda$CDM model in high redshift; in late time, it is slightly different from the standard model. Using the latest geometrical and growth rate observational data, we carry out a Bayesian analysis to constrain parameters and compare models. We see that our viscous models are compatible with cosmological probes, and the $Lambda$CDM recovered with a $1sigma$ confidence level. The viscous dark energy models relieve the tension of $H_0$ in $2 sim 3 sigma$. Yet, by involving the $sigma_8$ tension, some models can alleviate it. In the model selection framework, the data discards the extended viscous dark energy models.
We study how the cosmological constraints from growth data are improved by including the measurements of bias from Dark Energy Survey (DES). In particular, we utilize the biasing properties of the DES Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) and the growth data provided by the various galaxy surveys in order to constrain the growth index ($gamma$) of the linear matter perturbations. Considering a constant growth index we can put tight constraints, up to $sim 10%$ accuracy, on $gamma$. Specifically, using the priors of the Dark Energy Survey and implementing a joint likelihood procedure between theoretical expectations and data we find that the best fit value is in between $gamma=0.64pm 0.075$ and $0.65pm 0.063$. On the other hand utilizing the Planck priors we obtain $gamma=0.680pm 0.089$ and $0.690pm 0.071$. This shows a small but non-zero deviation from General Relativity ($gamma_{rm GR}approx 6/11$), nevertheless the confidence level is in the range $sim 1.3-2sigma$. Moreover, we find that the estimated mass of the dark-matter halo in which LRGs survive lies in the interval $sim 6.2 times 10^{12} h^{-1} M_{odot}$ and $1.2 times 10^{13} h^{-1} M_{odot}$, for the different bias models. Finally, allowing $gamma$ to evolve with redshift [Taylor expansion: $gamma(z)=gamma_{0}+gamma_{1}z/(1+z)$] we find that the $(gamma_{0},gamma_{1})$ parameter solution space accommodates the GR prediction at $sim 1.7-2.9sigma$ levels.
We study the dynamics of cosmological perturbations in models of dark matter based on ultralight coherent vector fields. Very much as for scalar field dark matter, we find two different regimes in the evolution: for modes with $k^2ll {cal H}ma$, we h ave a particle-like behaviour indistinguishable from cold dark matter, whereas for modes with $k^2gg {cal H}ma$, we get a wave-like behaviour in which the sound speed is non-vanishing and of order $c_s^2simeq k^2/m^2a^2$. This implies that, also in these models, structure formation could be suppressed on small scales. However, unlike the scalar case, the fact that the background evolution contains a non-vanishing homogeneous vector field implies that, in general, the evolution of the three kinds of perturbations (scalar, vector and tensor) can no longer be decoupled at the linear level. More specifically, in the particle regime, the three types of perturbations are actually decoupled, whereas in the wave regime, the three vector field perturbations generate one scalar-tensor and two vector-tensor perturbations in the metric. Also in the wave regime, we find that a non-vanishing anisotropic stress is present in the perturbed energy-momentum tensor giving rise to a gravitational slip of order $(Phi-Psi)/Phisim c_s^2$. Moreover in this regime the amplitude of the tensor to scalar ratio of the scalar-tensor modes is also $h/Phisim c_s^2$. This implies that small-scale density perturbations are necessarily associated to the presence of gravity waves in this model. We compare their spectrum with the sensitivity of present and future gravity waves detectors.

We present a model for the structure of the particle phase space average density ($P^2SAD$) in galactic haloes, introduced recently as a novel measure of the clustering of dark matter. Our model is based on the stable clustering hypothesis in phase s pace, the spherical collapse model, and tidal disruption of substructures, which is calibrated against the Aquarius simulations. Using this model, we can predict the behaviour of $P^2SAD$ in the numerically unresolved regime, down to the decoupling mass limit of generic WIMP models. This prediction can be used to estimate signals sensitive to the small scale structure of dark matter. For example, the dark matter annihilation rate can be estimated for arbitrary velocity-dependent cross sections in a convenient way using a limit of $P^2SAD$ to zero separation in physical space. We illustrate our method by computing the global and local subhalo annihilation boost to that of the smooth dark matter distribution in a Milky-Way-size halo. Two cases are considered, one where the cross section is velocity independent and one that approximates Sommerfeld-enhanced models. We find that the global boost is $sim10-30$, which is at the low end of current estimates (weakening expectations of large extragalactic signals), while the boost at the solar radius is below the percent level. We make our code to compute $P^2SAD$ publicly available, which can be used to estimate various observables that probe the nanostructure of dark matter haloes.
