An approach to cold dark matter deviation and the $H_0$ tension problem by using machine learning

Abstract

In this work, two different models, one with cosmological constant $\Lambda$, and baryonic and dark matter (with ${\omega }_{dm}\ne 0$), and the other with an $X$ dark energy (with ${\omega }_{de}\ne -1$), and baryonic and dark matter (with ${\omega }_{dm}\ne 0$), are investigated and compared. Using Bayesian machine learning analysis, constraints on the free parameters of both models are obtained for the three redshift ranges: $z\in [0,2]$, $z\in [0,2.5]$, and $z\in [0,5]$, respectively. For the first two redshift ranges, high-quality observations of the expansion rate $H(z)$ exist already, and they are used for validating the fitting results. Additionally, the extended range $z\in [0,5]$ provides predictions of the model parameters, verified when reliable higher-redshift $H(z)$ data are available. This learning procedure, based on the expansion rate data generated from the background dynamics of each model, shows that, at cosmological scales, there is a deviation from the cold dark matter paradigm, ${\omega }_{dm}\ne 0$, for all three redshift ranges. The results show that this approach may qualify as a solution to the $H_0$ tension problem. Indeed, it hints at how this issue could be effectively solved (or at least alleviated) in cosmological models with interacting dark energy.
