The recent observation of the the gravitational wave event GW170817 and of its electromagnetic counterpart GRB170817A, from a binary neutron star merger, has established that the speed of gravitational waves deviates from the speed of light by less than one part in $10^{15}$. As a consequence, many extensions of General Relativity are inevitably ruled out. Among these we find the most relevant sectors of Horndeski gravity. In its original formulation, mimetic gravity is able to mimic cosmological dark matter, has tensorial perturbations that travel exactly at the speed of light but has vanishing scalar perturbations and this fact persists if we combine mimetic with Horndeski gravity. In this work, we show that implementing the mimetic gravity action with higher-order terms that break the Horndeski structure yields a cosmological model that satisfies the constraint on the speed of gravitational waves and mimics both dark energy and dark matter with a non-vanishing speed of sound. In this way, we are able to reproduce the $Lambda$CDM cosmological model without introducing particle cold dark matter.

Phenomenological implications of the Mimetic Tensor-Vector-Scalar theory (MiTeVeS) are studied. The theory is an extension of the vector field model of mimetic dark matter, where a scalar field is also incorporated, and it is known to be free from gh
ost instability. In the absence of interactions between the scalar field and the vector field, the obtained cosmological solution corresponds to the General theory of Relativity (GR) with a minimally-coupled scalar field. However, including an interaction term between the scalar field and the vector field yields interesting dynamics. There is a shift symmetry for the scalar field with a flat potential, and the conserved Noether current, which is associated with the symmetry, behaves as a dark matter component. Consequently, the solution contains a cosmological constant, dark matter and a stiff matter fluid. Breaking the shift symmetry with a non-flat potential gives a natural interaction between dark energy and dark matter.
The gravitational-wave event GW170817 from a binary neutron star merger together with the electromagnetic counterpart showed that the speed of gravitational waves $c_t$ is very close to that of light for the redshift $z<0.009$. This places tight cons
traints on dark energy models constructed in the framework of modified gravitational theories. We review models of the late-time cosmic acceleration in scalar-tensor theories with second-order equations of motion (dubbed Horndeski theories) by paying particular attention to the evolution of dark energy equation of state and observables relevant to the cosmic growth history. We provide a gauge-ready formulation of scalar perturbations in full Horndeski theories and estimate observables associated with the evolution of large-scale structures, cosmic microwave background, and weak lensing by employing a so-called quasi-static approximation for the modes deep inside the sound horizon. In light of the recent observational bound of $c_t$, we also classify surviving dark energy models into four classes depending on different structure-formation patterns and discuss how they can be observationally distinguished from each other. In particular, the nonminimally coupled theories in which the scalar field $phi$ has a coupling with the Ricci scalar $R$ of the form $G_4(phi) R$, including $f(R)$ gravity, can be tightly constrained not only from the cosmic expansion and growth histories but also from the variation of screened gravitational couplings. The cross correlation of integrated Sachs-Wolfe signal with galaxy distributions can be a key observable for placing bounds on the relative ratio of cubic Galileon density to total dark energy density. The dawn of gravitational-wave astronomy will open up a new window to constrain nonminimally coupled theories further by the modified luminosity distance of tensor perturbations.
It has been shown that the nonthermal spectrum of Hawking radiation will lead to information-carrying correlations between emitted particles in the radiation. The mutual information carried by such correlations can not be locally observed and hence i
s dark. With dark information, the black hole information is conserved. In this paper, we look for the spherically symmetric black hole solution in the background of dark matter in mimetic gravity and investigate the radiation spectrum and dark information of the black hole. The black hole has a similar spacetime structure to the Schwarzschild case, while its horizon radius is decreased by the dark matter. By using the statistical mechanical method, the nonthermal radiation spectrum is calculated. This radiation spectrum is very different from the Schwarzschild case at its last stage because of the effect of the dark matter. The mimetic dark matter reduces the lifetime of the black hole but increases the dark information of the Hawking radiation.
Non-canonical scalar fields with the Lagrangian ${cal L} = X^alpha - V(phi)$, possess the attractive property that the speed of sound, $c_s^{2} = (2,alpha - 1)^{-1}$, can be exceedingly small for large values of $alpha$. This allows a non-canonical f
ield to cluster and behave like warm/cold dark matter on small scales. We demonstrate that simple potentials including $V = V_0coth^2{phi}$ and a Starobinsky-type potential can unify dark matter and dark energy. Cascading dark energy, in which the potential cascades to lower values in a series of discrete steps, can also work as a unified model. In all of these models the kinetic term $X^alpha$ plays the role of dark matter, while the potential term $V(phi)$ plays the role of dark energy.
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.
