Dark Matter and Dark Energy

open access: yes, 2004
I briefly review our current understanding of dark matter and dark energy. The first part of this paper focusses on issues pertaining to dark matter including observational evidence for its existence, current constraints and the `abundance of ...

The Growth of Structure in Interacting Dark Energy Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
If dark energy interacts with dark matter, there is a change in the background evolution of the universe, since the dark matter density no longer evolves as a^{-3}. In addition, the non-gravitational interaction affects the growth of structure.

“Teleparallel” dark energy

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2011
Using the "teleparallel" equivalent of General Relativity as the gravitational sector, which is based on torsion instead of curvature, we add a canonical scalar field, allowing for a nonminimal coupling with gravity. Although the minimal case is completely equivalent to standard quintessence, the nonminimal scenario has a richer structure, exhibiting ...

The Revival of the Unified Dark Energy-Dark Matter Model ? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We consider the generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) proposal for unification of dark energy and dark matter and show that it admits an unique decomposition into dark energy and dark matter components once phantom-like dark energy is excluded.

Quantum Informational Dark Energy: Dark energy from forgetting

open access: yes, 2007
We suggest that dark energy has a quantum informational origin. Landauer's principle associated with the erasure of quantum information at a cosmic horizon implies the non-zero vacuum energy having effective negative pressure.

Bounded dark energy [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D
Recent cosmological observations suggest that the dark energy equation of state may have changed in the latter stages of cosmic history. We introduce a quintessence scenario, termed bounded dark energy, capable of explaining this feature in a technically natural way. Our approach is motivated from a bottom-up perspective, based on the concept of mirage

ON ANISOTROPIC DARK ENERGY [PDF]

open access: yesModern Physics Letters A, 2009
Since the discovery of accelerated expansion of the universe, it was necessary to introduce a new component of matter distribution called dark energy. The standard cosmological model considers isotropy of the pressure and assumes an equation of state p = ωρ, relating the pressure p and the energy density ρ.

The Dark Energy Survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We describe the Dark Energy Survey (DES), a proposed optical-near infrared survey of 5000 sq. deg of the South Galactic Cap to ~24th magnitude in SDSS griz, that would use a new 3 sq.

Dark Energy Scaling from Dark Matter to Acceleration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The dark sector of the Universe need not be completely separable into distinct dark matter and dark energy components. We consider a model of early dark energy in which the dark energy mimics a dark matter component in both evolution and perturbations at

DARK ENERGY, WITH SIGNATURES [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics D, 2010
We propose a class of simple dark energy models which predict a late-time dark radiation component and a distinctive time-dependent equation of state w(z) for redshift z < 3. The dark energy field can be coupled strongly enough to standard model particles to be detected in colliders, and the model requires only modest additional particle content ...
