We explore the degeneracy and discreteness problems in the standard cosmological model (Lambda CDM). We use the Observational Hubble Data (OHD) and the type Ia supernova (SNe Ia) data to study this issue. In order to describe the discreteness in fitting of data, we define a factor G to test the influence from each single data point and analyze the goodness of G. Our results indicate that a higher absolute value of G shows a better capability of distinguishing models, which means the parameters are restricted into smaller confidence intervals with a larger figure of merit evaluation. Consequently, we claim that the factor G is an effective way in model differentiation when using different models to fit the observational data.

The key probes of the growth of large-scale structure are its rate $f$ and amplitude $sigma_8$. Redshift space distortions in the galaxy power spectrum allow us to measure only the combination $fsigma_8$, which can be used to constrain the standard c
osmological model or alternatives. By using measurements of the galaxy-galaxy lensing cross-correlation spectrum or of the galaxy bispectrum, it is possible to break the $fsigma_8$ degeneracy and obtain separate estimates of $f$ and $sigma_8$ from the same galaxy sample. Currently there are only a handful of such separate measurements, but even this allows for improved constraints on cosmological models. We explore how having a larger and more precise sample of such measurements in the future could constrain further cosmological models. We consider what can be achieved by a future nominal sample that delivers a $sim 1%$ constraint on $f$ and $sigma_8$ separately, compared to the case with a similar precision on the combination $fsigma_8$. For the six cosmological parameters of $Lambda$CDM, we find improvements of $sim! 5$--$50%$ on their constraints. For modified gravity models in the Horndeski class, the improvements on these standard parameters are $sim! 0$--$15%$. However, the precision on the sum of neutrino masses improves by 65% and there is a significant increase in the precision on the background and perturbation Horndeski parameters.
We study cosmological models with interaction between dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM). For the interaction term $Q$ in cosmic evolution equations, there is a model-independent degeneracy-breaking (D-B) point when $Q_{1}$ (a part of $Q$) equals
to zero, where the interaction can be probed without degeneracy between the constant DE equation of state (EoS).
Accurate cosmological parameter estimates using polarization data of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) put stringent requirements on map calibration, as highlighted in the recent results from the Planck satellite. In this paper, we point out that
a model-dependent determination of polarization calibration can be achieved by the joint fit of the TE and EE CMB power spectra. This provides a valuable cross-check to band-averaged polarization efficiency measurements determined using other approaches. We demonstrate that, in $Lambda$CDM, the combination of the TE and EE constrain polarization calibration with sub-percent uncertainty with Planck data and 2% uncertainty with SPTpol data. We arrive at similar conclusions when extending $Lambda$CDM to include the amplitude of lensing $A_{rm L}$, the number of relativistic species $N_{rm eff}$, or the sum of the neutrino masses $sum m_{ u}$. The uncertainties on cosmological parameters are minimally impacted when marginalizing over polarization calibration, except, as can be expected, for the uncertainty on the amplitude of the primordial scalar power spectrum $ln(10^{10} A_{rm s})$, which increases by $20-50$%. However, this information can be fully recovered by adding TT data. For current and future ground-based experiments, SPT-3G and CMB-S4, we forecast the cosmological parameter uncertainties to be minimally degraded when marginalizing over polarization calibration parameters. In addition, CMB-S4 could constrain its polarization calibration at the level of $sim$0.2% by combining TE and EE, and reach $sim$0.06% by also including TT. We therefore conclude that relying on calibrating against Planck polarization maps, whose statistical uncertainty is limited to $sim$0.5%, would be insufficient for upcoming experiments.
Current cosmological tensions motivate investigating extensions to the standard $Lambda$CDM model. Additional model parameters are typically varied one or two at a time, in a series of separate tests. The purpose of this paper is to highlight that in
formation is lost by not also examining the correlations between these additional parameters, which arise when their effects on model predictions are similar, even if the parameters are not varied simultaneously. We show how these correlations can be quantified with simulations and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. As an example, we assume that $Lambda$CDM is the true underlying model, and calculate the correlations expected between the phenomenological lensing amplitude parameter, $A_L$, the running of the spectral index, $n_{rm run}$, and the primordial helium mass fraction, $Y_P$, when these parameters are varied one at a time along with the $Lambda$CDM parameters in fits to the $textit{Planck}$ 2015 temperature power spectrum. These correlations are not small, ranging from 0.31 ($A_L-n_{rm run}$) to $-0.93$ ($n_{rm run}-Y_P$). We find that the values of these three parameters from the $textit{Planck}$ data are consistent with $Lambda$CDM expectations within $0.9sigma$ when the correlations are accounted for. This does not explain the 1.8-2.7$sigma$ $textit{Planck}$ preference for $A_L>1$, but provides an additional $Lambda$CDM consistency test. For example, if $A_L>1$ was a symptom of an underlying systematic error or some real but unknown physical effect that also produced spurious correlations with $n_{rm run}$ or $Y_P$ our test might have revealed this. We recommend that future cosmological analyses examine correlations between additional model parameters in addition to investigating them separately, one a time.
We study the matter density fluctuations in the running cosmological constant (RCC) model using linear perturbations in the longitudinal gauge. Using this observable we calculate the growth rate of structures and the matter power spectrum, and compar
e them with the $SDSS$ data and other available data of the linear growth rate. The distribution of collapsed structures may also constraints models of dark energy. It is shown that RCC model enhances departures from the $Lambda CDM$ model for both cluster number and cumulative cluster number predicted. In general increasing the characteristic parameter $ u$ leads to significant growth of the cluster number. In general, we found that the theory of perturbations provides a good tool to distinguish the new model $RCC$ of the standard cosmological model $Lambda CDM$.
