Models including an energy transfer from CDM to DE are widely considered in the literature, namely to allow DE a significant high-z density. Strongly Coupled cosmologies assume a much larger coupling between DE and CDM, together with the presence of an uncoupled warm DM component, as the role of CDM is mostly restricted to radiative eras. This allows us to preserve small scale fluctuations even if the warm particle, possibly a sterile neutrino, is quite light, O(100 eV). Linear theory and numerical simulations show that these cosmologies agree with LCDM on supergalactic scales; e.g., CMB spectra are substantially identical. Simultaneously, simulations show that they significantly ease problems related to the properties of MW satellites and cores in dwarfs. SC cosmologies also open new perspectives on early black hole formation, and possibly lead towards unificating DE and inflationary scalar fields.

Large primordial Black Hole (PBH) formation is enhanced if strongly coupled scalar and spinor fields ($Phi$ and $psi$) are a stable cosmic component since the primeval radiative expansion (SCDEW models). In particular, we show that PBH formation is e
asier at a specific time, i.e., when the asymptotic mass $m_H$, acquired by the $psi$ field at the higgs scale, becomes dominant, so that the typical BH mass $M_{BH}$ depends on $m_H$ value. For instance, if $m_H sim 100,$ eV $(1$ keV$)$ and the coupling $beta sim 8.35 (37)$, PBH with $M_{BH} simeq 10^7-10^8 $ $(10^3-10^4), M_odot$ could form. The very mechanism enhancing PBH formation also causes technical difficulties to evaluate the transfer function of SCDEW models at high $k$. A tentative solution of this problem leaves only minor discrepancies from $Lambda$CDM, also at these scales, gradually vanishing for greater $m_H$ values. We conclude that, for suitable parameter choices, SCDEW models could be the real physics underlying $Lambda$ CDM, so overcoming its fine tuning and coincidence problems, with the extra bonus of yielding large BH seeds.
Strongly Coupled Dark Energy plus Warm dark matter (SCDEW) cosmologies admit the stationary presence of $sim 1, %$ of coupled-DM and DE, since inflationary reheating. Coupled-DM fluctuations therefore grow up to non-linearity even in the early radiat
ive expansion. Such early non-linear stages are modelized here through the evolution of a top-hat density enhancement, reaching an early virial balance when the coupled-DM density contrast is just 25-26 and DM density enhancement is $ sim 10, %$ of total density. During the time needed to settle in virial equilibium, the virial balance conditions however continue to modify, so that virialized lumps undergo a complete evaporation. Here we outline that DM particles processed by overdentities preserve a fraction of their virial momentum. Although fully non-relativistic, the resulting velocities (moderately) affect the fluctuation dynamics over greater scales, entering the horizon later on.
In this first paper we discuss the linear theory and the background evolution of a new class of models we dub SCDEW: Strongly Coupled DE, plus WDM. In these models, WDM dominates todays matter density; like baryons, WDM is uncoupled. Dark Energy is a
scalar field $Phi$; its coupling to ancillary CDM, whose todays density is $ll 1, %$, is an essential model feature. Such coupling, in fact, allows the formation of cosmic structures, in spite of very low WDM particle masses ($sim 100$ eV). SCDEW models yields Cosmic Microwave Background and linear Large Scale features substantially undistinguishable from $Lambda$CDM, but thanks to the very low WDM masses they strongly alleviate $Lambda$CDM issues on small scales, as confirmed via numerical simulations in the II associated paper. Moreover SCDEW cosmologies significantly ease the coincidence and fine tuning problems of $Lambda$CDM and, by using a field theory approach, we also outline possible links with inflationary models. We also discuss a possible fading of the coupling at low redshifts which prevents non linearities on the CDM component to cause computational problems. The (possible) low-$z$ coupling suppression, its mechanism, and its consequences are however still open questions -not necessarily problems- for SCDEW models. The coupling intensity and the WDM particle mass, although being extra parameters in respect to $Lambda$CDM, are found to be substantially constrained a priori so that, if SCDEW is the underlying cosmology, we expect most data to fit also $Lambda$CDM predictions.
We study the implications of the recent detection of gravitational waves emitted by a pair of merging neutron stars and their electromagnetic counterpart, events GW170817 and GRB170817A, on the viability of the doubly coupled bimetric models of cosmi
c evolution, where the two metrics couple directly to matter through a composite, effective metric. We demonstrate that the bounds on the speed of gravitational waves place strong constraints on the doubly coupled models, forcing either the two metrics to be proportional at the background level or the models to become singly coupled. Proportional backgrounds are particularly interesting as they provide stable cosmological solutions with phenomenologies equivalent to that of $Lambda$CDM at the background level as well as for linear perturbations, while nonlinearities are expected to show deviations from the standard model.
Cosmologies including strongly Coupled (SC) Dark Energy (DE) and Warm dark matter (SCDEW) are based on a conformally invariant (CI) attractor solution modifying the early radiative expansion. Then, aside of radiation, a kinetic field $Phi$ and a DM c
omponent account for a stationary fraction, $sim 1, %$, of the total energy. Most SCDEW predictions are hardly distinguishable from LCDM, while SCDEW alleviates quite a few LCDM conceptual problems, as well as its difficulties to meet data below the average galaxy scale. The CI expansion begins at the inflation end, when $Phi$ (future DE) possibly plays a role in reheating, and ends at the Higgs scale. Afterwards, a number of viable options is open, allowing for the transition from the CI expansion to the present Universe. In this paper: (i) We show how the attractor is recovered when the spin degrees of freedom decreases. (ii) We perform a detailed comparison of CMB anisotropy and polarization spectra for SCDEW and LCDM, including tensor components, finding negligible discrepancies. (iii) Linear spectra exhibit a greater parameter dependence at large $k$s, but are still consistent with data for suitable parameter choices. (iv) We also compare previous simulation results with fresh data on galaxy concentration. Finally, (v) we outline numerical difficulties at high $k$. This motivates a second related paper, where such problems are treated in a quantitative way.
