Do WMAP data favor neutrino mass and a coupling between Cold Dark Matter and Dark Energy

We fit WMAP5 and related data by allowing for a CDM-DE coupling and non-zero neutrino masses, simultaneously. We find a significant correlation between these parameters, so that simultaneous higher coupling and {nu}-masses are allowed. Furthermore, models with a significant coupling and {nu}-mass are statistically favoured in respect to a cosmology with no coupling and negligible neutrino mass (our best fits are: C{approx}1/2 m{sub p}, m{sub {nu}{approx}0}.12 eV per flavor). We use a standard Monte Carlo Markov Chain approach, by assuming DE to be a scalar field self-interacting through Ratra-Peebles or SUGRA potentials.
