Parameterization of Dark-Energy Properties: a Principal-Component Approach
Considerable work has been devoted to the question of how best to parameterize the properties of dark energy, in particular its equation of state w. We argue that, in the absence of a compelling model for dark energy, the parameterizations of functions about which we have no prior knowledge, such as w(z), should be determined by the data rather than by our ingrained beliefs or familiar series e...

متن کاملTime variation of fundamental couplings and dynamical dark energy
Scalar field dynamics may give rise to a nonzero cosmological variation of fundamental constants. Within different scenarios based on the unification of gauge couplings, the various claimed observations and bounds may be combined in order to trace or restrict the time history of the couplings and masses. If the scalar field is responsible for a dynamical dark energy or quintessence, cosmologica...
متن کاملDark Matter, Dark Energy, and Fundamental Physics
More than sixty years ago Zwicky made the case that the great clusters of galaxies are held together by the gravitational force of unseen (dark) matter. Today, the case is stronger and more precise: Dark, nonbaryonic matter accounts for 30%±7% of the critical mass density, with baryons (most of which are dark) contributing only 4.5% ± 0.5% of the critical density. The large-scale structure that...
متن کاملDark energy, chaotic fields, and fundamental constants
To explain the currently observed accelerated expansion of the universe, a large number of different theoretical models are presently being discussed. In one way or another, all of these contain ‘new physics’, though at different levels. The big question is how to select out of infinitely many possible models the right one. We here discuss a possibility that has so far been somewhat neglected, ...
