Cosmic acceleration driven by dark matter self-interactions
  We explore a Gedanken-model for cosmic evolution, where dark matter is
strongly self-interacting and stays in a plasma state until late stages. After
decoupling, it condensates to super-structures with cosmic voids similar to the
current picture of the universe. With the help of the equation of state of dry
foam (equivalently a fluid with voids in it) from fluid mechanics, it is
possible to show that tension within these cosmic walls due to their binding
interaction may cause an accelerated expansion in the absence of dark energy.
Furthermore, we give a cosmological analysis of this scenario with a
semi-phenomenological ansatz, where we use recent Type Ia supernova
compilation.
