Accelerated expansion without dark energy
The fact that the ΛCDM model fits the observations does not necessarily imply the physical existence of ‘dark energy’. Dropping the assumption that cold dark matter (CDM) is a perfect fluid opens the possibility to fit the data without dark energy. For imperfect CDM, negative bulk pressure is favoured by thermodynamical arguments and might drive the cosmic acceleration. The coincidence between ...
متن کاملAccelerated-like expansion: inhomogeneities versus dark energy
The currently available cosmological data yield, as a most striking result, that the expansion rate of the universe seems to be increasing at late times, contrary to the standard (zero cosmological constant) FLRW prediction. The usual explanation for this discrepancy is that a new component of the energy density of the universe, known as dark energy, dominates this recent evolution. Since the e...
متن کاملDark Matter and Dark Energy
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 substructure’ and ‘cuspy core’ issues which arise in CDM. I also briefly describe MOND. The second part of this review focusses on dark energy. In this pa...
متن کاملDark energy with polytropic equation of state
Equation of state parameter plays a significant role for guessing the real nature of dark energy. In the present paper polytropic equation of state p = ωρn is chosen for some of the kinematical Λ-models viz., Λ ∼ (ȧ/a), Λ ∼ ä/a and Λ ∼ ρ. Although in dust cases (ω = 0) closed form solutions show no dependency on the polytropic index n, but in non-dust situations some new possibilities are opene...
متن کاملDark Energy and the Accelerated Expansion of the Universe
Recent observations indicate that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating. This suggests the existence of some kind of exotic matter with negative pressure. The simplest possibility is a cosmological constant but there are alternatives, as for instance an evolving scalar eld. In this paper we explore constraints from lensing statistics and high-z type Ia Supernovae on some of these altern...
