Cluster number counts can be used to test dark energy models. We investigate
dark energy candidates which are coupled to dark matter. We analyze the cluster
number counts dependence on the amount of dark matter coupled to dark energy.
Further more, we study how dark energy inhomogeneities affect cluster
abundances. It is shown that increasing the coupling reduces significantly the
cluster number counts, and that dark energy inhomogeneities increases cluster
abundances. Wiggles in cluster number counts are shown to be a specific
signature of coupled dark energy models. Future observations will possibly
detect such oscillations and discriminate among the different dark energy
models.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures. Further extensions on section on discriminating
models with future surveys. Accepted for publication in Mon. Not. Roy. Astro.
