“In Search of an Interaction in the Dark Sector through Gaussian Process and ANN Approaches”
🧑🔬Authors:
Research Highlights:
We used Gaussian Process Regression (GP) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), two powerful non-parametric methods to study how dark matter and dark energy might interact, without assuming fixed models. The analysis is based on real cosmic data:
Cosmic Chronometers (CC):
Pantheon+ Supernovae Type Ia and combined data
Our main goal was to look for signs of interaction between dark matter and dark energy, which could give clues about how the universe evolves over time.
We also examined how this interaction depends on the dark energy equation-of-state parameter.

“When Dark Matter Heats Up: A Model-Independent Search for Non-Cold Behavior”
🧑🔬Authors:
Research Highlights:
In this article, we reconstruct the dark matter equation of state (DM EoS) using two distinct approaches: a non-parametric method and a model-independent approach, avoiding fixed assumptions. Observational data include Cosmic Chronometers, Pantheon+ Supernovae, and BAO measurements from DESI DR1 and DR2, providing wide coverage across cosmic time.
The study examines whether dark matter could have a small pressure instead of being completely pressureless, as commonly assumed in standard models.
Findings suggest that while the evidence for a dynamic DM EoS is mild, it cannot be fully ruled out, pointing to possible refinements in our understanding of dark matter.
