Description
Within the framework of Unimodular Gravity, we consider non-gravitational interactions between dark matter and dark energy. Particularly, we describe such interactions in the dark sector by considering diffusion models that couple the cold dark matter fluid with the dark energy component, where the latter has the form of a variable cosmological "constant". For the first time, we solve the cosmological evolution of these models from the radiation dominated era to the present day. We show how the diffusion processes take place by analyzing the cosmological evolution of the energy density parameters and , as well as that of the Hubble parameter. Finally, we perform the statistical analysis, imposing constraints on the diffusion parameters, by using data from Planck 2018, SH0ES, Pantheon, and H0LICOW collaborations. We found that cosmological diffusion models in the framework of Unimodular Gravity can ease the current tension in the value of . We also show that the very far future cosmological evolution for all diffusion models is eternally accelerating without future singularities.
