Dark Energy and the New Cosmology
نویسنده
چکیده
A successor to the standard hot big-bang cosmology is emerging. It greatly extends the highly successful hot big-bang model. A key element of the New Standard Cosmology is dark energy, the causative agent for accelerated expansion. Dark energy is just possibly the most important problem in all of physics. The only laboratory up to the task of studying dark energy is the Universe itself.

Dark Energy and Dark Matter from Cosmological Observations
The introduction of new observational techniques has in the past few years moved cosmology into the era of precision science. With the advent of precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), large scale structure (LSS) of galaxies, and distant type Ia supernovae, a new paradigm of cosmology has been established. In this new standard model, the geometry is flat so that Ωtotal ...
متن کاملDark Matter Tomography
Over cosmic time the small uctuations in dark matter density in the early Universe grew via gravitational instability. Until recently our view of this process has been indirect, relying on radiation from the small baryonic component. If we could measure directly the development of these mass overdensities over a range of scales and look-back times, cosmology and the nature of the dark matter wo...
متن کاملNew Views of Cosmology and the Microworld
The past few years have seen several breakthroughs in particle astrophysics and cosmology. In several cases, new observations can only be explained with the introduction of new fundamental physics. In this talk I summarize some of these recent advances and describe several areas where progress may well be made in the future. More specifically, I focus on supersymmetric and axion dark matter, se...
متن کاملp-Adic and Adelic Cosmology: p-Adic Origin of Dark Energy and Dark Matter
A brief review of p-adic and adelic cosmology is presented. In particular, p-adic and adelic aspects of gravity, classical cosmology, quantum mechanics, quantum cosmology and the wave function of the universe are considered. p-Adic worlds made of p-adic matters, which are different from real world of ordinary matter, are introduced. Real world and p-adic worlds make the universe as a whole. p-A...
متن کاملDark energy and cosmic curvature: Monte-Carlo Markov Chain approach
We use the Monte-Carlo Markov Chain method to explore the dark energy property and the cosmic curvature by fitting two popular dark energy parameterizations to the observational data. The new 182 gold supernova Ia data and the ESSENCE data both give good constraint on the DE parameters and the cosmic curvature for the dark energy model w0 + waz/(1 + z). The cosmic curvature is found to be |Ωk| ...
