We review in detail a number of approaches that have been adopted to try and explain the remarkable observation of our accelerating universe. In particular we discuss the arguments for and recent progress made towards understanding the nature of dark energy. We review the observational evidence for the current accelerated expansion of the universe and present a number of dark energy models in addition to the conventional cosmological constant, paying particular attention to scalar field models such as quintessence, K-essence, tachyon, phantom and dilatonic models. The importance of cosmological scaling solutions is emphasized when studying the dynamical system of scalar fields including coupled dark energy. We study the evolution of cosmological perturbations allowing us to confront them with the observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background and Large Scale Structure and demonstrate how it is possible in principle to reconstruct the equation of state of dark energy by also using Supernovae Ia observational data. We also discuss in detail the nature of tracking solutions in cosmology, particle physics and braneworld models of dark energy, the nature of possible future singularities, the effect of higher order curvature terms to avoid a Big Rip singularity, and approaches to modifying gravity which leads to a late-time accelerated expansion without recourse to a new form of dark energy.read more

Extended Theories of Gravity
TL;DR: Extended Theories of Gravity as discussed by the authors can be considered as a new paradigm to cure shortcomings of General Relativity at infrared and ultraviolet scales, which is an approach that, by preserving the undoubtedly positive results of Einstein's theory, is aimed to address conceptual and experimental problems recently emerged in astrophysics, cosmology and High Energy Physics.

Structure formation in the DGP cosmological model
Kazuya Koyama,Roy Maartens +1 more
TL;DR: The DGP brane-world model provides an alternative to the standard LCDM cosmology, in which the late universe accelerates due to a modification of gravity rather than vacuum energy as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dark energy and dark matter
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assume that dark matter is made of cold relics with masses depending exponentially on the scalar field associated to dark energy, and they show that the dependence of the present abundance of cold dark matter on the parameters of the model differs drastically from the familiar results where no connection between dark energy and dark matter was present.

The Acceleration of the universe, a challenge for string theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that generic quintessence models that accomodate the present day acceleration tend to accelerate eternally, and as a consequence the resulting spacetimes exhibit event horizons.
Journal ArticleDOI
de Sitter brane universe induced by phantom and quantum effects
TL;DR: In this paper, a five-dimensional braneworld cosmology with de Sitter (inflationary) brane universe induced by classical and quantum matter is discussed, and it is shown that negative energy phantom field with quantum CFT supports the creation of deSitter universe.

Observational constraints on interacting quintessence models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determine the range of parameter space of an interacting quintessence model that best fits the recent WMAP measurements of Cosmic Microwave Background temperature anisotropies.
