We investigate the impact of a nonstandard time evolution of the dark matter component on current cosmological bounds from cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. We found that a less than 0.1% variation in the effective dark matter equation of state w(dm) can drastically change current CMB bounds on the matter density, the Hubble parameter and the age of the Universe. A flat universe without dark energy could provide an excellent fit to current CMB data, providing that w(dm) similar to -10(-2).

Abstract

We investigate the impact of a nonstandard time evolution of the dark matter component on current cosmological bounds from cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. We found that a less than 0.1% variation in the effective dark matter equation of state w(dm) can drastically change current CMB bounds on the matter density, the Hubble parameter and the age of the Universe. A flat universe without dark energy could provide an excellent fit to current CMB data, providing that w(dm) similar to -10(-2).
