Abstract: (Elsevier)

We revisit the dark degeneracy that arises from the Einstein equations relating geometry to the total cosmic substratum but not resolving its individual components separately. We establish the explicit conditions for the dark degeneracy in the fluid description of the dark sector. At the background level, this degeneracy can be formally understood in terms of a unified dark sector Equation of State (EoS) that depends both on the dynamical nature of the dark energy (DE) as well as on its interaction with the pressureless dark matter. For linear perturbations, the degeneracy arises for specified DE pressure perturbations (or sound speed, equivalently) and DE anisotropic stress. Specializing to the degeneracy between non-interacting dynamical DE and interacting vacuum DE models, we perform a parameter estimation analysis for a range of dynamical DE parametrizations, where for illustration we explicitly break the degeneracy at the linear level by adopting a luminal sound speed for both scenarios. We conduct this analysis using cosmological background data alone and in combination with Planck measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation. We find that although the overall phenomenology between the dynamical DE and interacting approaches is similar, there are some intriguing differences. In particular, there is an ambiguity in the strength of constraints on Ωm0 and σ8 , which are considerably weakened for interacting vacuum DE, indicating that the dark degeneracy can change the significance of tensions in cosmological parameters inferred from different datasets.
