Theoretical Models of Dark Energy

Abstract: Mounting observational data confirm that about 73% of the energy density consists of dark energy which is responsible for the current accelerated expansion of the Universe. We present observational evidences and dark energy projects. We then review various theoretical ideas that have been proposed to explain the origin of dark energy; they contain the cosmological constant, modified matter models, modified gravity models and the inhomogeneous model. The cosmological constant suffers from two major problems: on… Show more

“…In order to solve the mentioned problems various models of dynamical DE models have been introduced without violating/recovering symmetries of LSU [5,6]. Among DE models are quintessence, k-essence, tachyonic, phantom and quinton DE models, as well as dark fluids like Chaplygin gas (and its modifications), van der Waals gas and polytropic gas involving also viscosity and references therein.…”

“…In this case according to recent understanding of symmetries and physics of LSU, dark energy (DE) (≈70%) should be used to provide acceleration to expanding universe [5,6]. On the other hand, DE is not enough and according to astrophysical data, dark matter (DM) should be involved in the energy budget of universe [7,8].…”

“…This allows the proposal for a wide range of types of DE candidates besides the pure positive CC like: quintessence, K-essence, chameleon field, f (R) gravity and others; for a review see [13,14] and references therein.…”

“…It is indeed possible to reconstruct the redshift dependence of w, a key feature to distinguish between the cosmological constant, which predicts a constant w, and alternative models which generally give an effecitve equation of state parameter that varies with redshift (see e.g. [13,14]). …”
