Cosmology With Axionic-quintessence Coupled with Dark Matter    [PDF]

Sumit Kumar, Sudhakar Panda, Anjan A Sen
We study the possibility of explaining the late time acceleration with an axion field which is coupled with the dark matter sector of the energy budget of the Universe. The axion field arises from the Ramond-Ramond sector of the Type-IIB string theory. We study the background evolution of the Universe as well as the growth of the matter perturbation in the linear regime. We subsequently use the observational data from Sn-Ia, BAO measurements, measurements of the Hubble parameter as well as the observational data for the growth of the matter perturbation to constrain our model. The results shows that higher coupling restricts the model to deviate more from the $\Lambda$CDM behaviour.
