Abstract
We investigate the implications of the baryon acoustic oscillations measurement released by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument for interacting dark energy (IDE) models characterized by an energymomentum flow from dark matter to dark energy. By combining Planck-2018 and Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument data, we observe a preference for interactions, leading to a nonvanishing interaction rate ξ ¼ −0.32þ0.18 −0.14, which results in a present-day expansion rate H0 ¼ 70.8þ1.4 −1.7 km=s=Mpc, reducing the tension with the value provided by the SH0ES Collaboration to less than ∼1.3σ. The preference for interactions remains robust when including measurements of the expansion rate HðzÞ obtained from the relative ages of massive, early-time, and passively evolving galaxies, as well as when considering distance moduli measurements from Type Ia supernovae sourced from the Pantheon-plus catalog using the SH0ES Cepheid host distances as calibrators. Overall, the IDE framework provides an equally good, or better, explanation of both high- and low-redshift background observations compared to the lambda cold dark matter model, while also yielding higher H0 values that align more closely with the local distance ladder estimates. However, a limitation of the IDE model is that it predicts lower Ωm and higher σ8 values, which may not be fully consistent with large-scale structure data at the perturbation level.
