A new kind of accelerating flat model with no dark energy that is fully dominated by cold dark matter (CDM) is investigated. The number of CDM particles is not conserved and the present accelerating stage is a consequence of the negative pressure describing the irreversible process of gravitational particle creation. A related work involving accelerating CDM cosmology has been discussed before the SNe observations [Lima, Abramo & Germano, Phys. Rev. D53, 4287 (1996)]. However, in order to have a transition from a decelerating to an accelerating regime at low redshifts, the matter creation rate proposed here includes a constant term of the order of the Hubble parameter. In this case, $H_0$ does not need to be small in order to solve the age problem and the transition happens even if the matter creation is negligible during the radiation and part of the matter dominated phase. Therefore, instead of the vacuum dominance at redshifts of the order of a few, the present accelerating stage in this sort of Einstein-de Sitter CDM cosmology is a consequence of the gravitational particle creation process. As an extra bonus, in the present scenario does not exist the coincidence problem that plagues models with dominance of dark energy. The model is able to harmonize a CDM picture with the present age of the universe, the latest measurements of the Hubble parameter and the Supernovae observations.

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 antif ermions. 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.
The negative pressure accompanying gravitationally-induced particle creation can lead to a cold dark matter (CDM) dominated, accelerating Universe (Lima et al. 1996) without requiring the presence of dark energy or a cosmological constant. In a recen t study Lima et al. (2008, LSS) demonstrated that particle creation driven cosmological models are capable of accounting for the SNIa observations of the recent transition from a decelerating to an accelerating Universe. Here we test the evolution of such models at high redshift using the constraint on z_eq, the redshift of the epoch of matter radiation equality, provided by the WMAP constraints on the early Integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect. Since the contribution of baryons and radiation was ignored in the work of LSS, we include them in our study of this class of models. The parameters of these more realistic models with continuous creation of CDM is tested and constrained at widely-separated epochs (z = z_eq and z = 0) in the evolution of the Universe. This comparison reveals a tension between the high redshift CMB constraint on z_eq and that which follows from the low redshift SNIa data, challenging the viability of this class of models.
The thermodynamical properties of dark energy are usually investigated with the equation of state $omega =omega_{0}+omega_{1}z$. Recent observations show that our universe is accelerating, and the apparent horizon and the event horizon vary with reds hift $z$. When definitions of the temperature and entropy of a black hole are used to the two horizons of the universe, we examine the thermodynamical properties of the universe which is enveloped by the apparent horizon and the event horizon respectively. We show that the first and the second laws of thermodynamics inside the apparent horizon in any redshift are satisfied, while they are broken down inside the event horizon in some redshift. Therefore, the apparent horizon for the universe may be the boundary of thermodynamical equilibrium for the universe like the event horizon for a black hole.
We show that axinos, which are dominantly generated by the decay of the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particles produced from the leptonic $Q$-ball ($L$-ball), become warm dark matter suitable for the solution of the missing satellite problem and t he cusp problem. In addition, $Omega_b - Omega_{DM}$ coincidence is naturally explained in this scenario.
There has been a vast recent improvement in photometric and kinematic data for star clusters, Ultra Compact dwarfs, galactic nuclei, and local dSph galaxies, with Subaru contributing substantially to the photometric studies in particular. These data show that there is a bimodal distribution in half-light radii, with stable star clusters always being smaller than 35pc, while stable galaxies are always larger than 120pc. We extend the previously known observational relationships and interpret them in terms of a more fundamental pair of intrinsic properties of dark matter itself: dark matter forms cored mass distributions, with a core scale length of greater than about 100pc, and always has a maximum central mass density with a narrow range. The dark matter in dSph galaxies appears to be clustered such that there is a mean volume mass density within the stellar distribution which has the very low value of about 0.1$M_{odot}$ pc$^{-3}$. None of the dSphs displays kinematics which require the presence of an inner cusp, while in two dSphs there is evidence that the density profile is shallow (cored) in the inner regions. The maximum central dark matter density derived is model dependent, but is likely to have a mean value (averaged over a volume of radius 10pc) of about 0.1$M_{odot}$ pc$^{-3}$, which is 5GeV/c$^2$cm$^{-3}$). Galaxies are embedded in dark matter halos with these properties; smaller systems containing dark matter are not observed.
