Dark energy in Horndeski theories after GW170817: A review

R Kase, S Tsujikawa - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2019 - World Scientific
The gravitational wave (GW) event GW170817 from a binary neutron star merger together
with the electromagnetic counterpart showed that the speed of GWs ct is very close to that of …

The case for a positive cosmological Λ-term

V Sahni, A Starobinsky - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2000 - World Scientific
Recent observations of Type 1a supernovae indicating an accelerating universe have once
more drawn attention to the possible existence, at the present epoch, of a small positive Λ …

Cosmological implications of baryon acoustic oscillation measurements

É Aubourg, S Bailey, JE Bautista, F Beutler, V Bhardwaj… - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We derive constraints on cosmological parameters and tests of dark energy models from the
combination of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements with cosmic microwave …

Quintessence: a review

S Tsujikawa - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Quintessence is a canonical scalar field introduced to explain the late-time cosmic
acceleration. The cosmological dynamics of quintessence is reviewed, paying particular …

Cosmological constant—the weight of the vacuum

T Padmanabhan - Physics reports, 2003 - Elsevier
Recent cosmological observations suggest the existence of a positive cosmological constant
Λ with the magnitude Λ (Gℏ/c3)≈ 10− 123. This review discusses several aspects of the …

[HTML][HTML] The cosmological constant

SM Carroll - Living reviews in relativity, 2001 - Springer
This is a review of the physics and cosmology of the cosmological constant. Focusing on
recent developments, I present a pedagogical overview of cosmology in the presence of a …

Generalized Chaplygin gas, accelerated expansion, and dark-energy-matter unification

MC Bento, O Bertolami, AA Sen - Physical Review D, 2002 - APS
We consider the scenario emerging from the dynamics of a generalized Born-Infeld theory.
The equation of state describing this system is given in terms of the energy density ρ and …

[HTML][HTML] The cosmological constant

SM Carroll, WH Press, EL Turner - … . Vol. 30 (A93-25826 09-90) …, 1992 - adsabs.harvard.edu
The cosmological constant ADS Classic is now deprecated. It will be completely retired in
October 2019. This page will automatically redirect to the new ADS interface at that point …

Statefinder—a new geometrical diagnostic of dark energy

V Sahni, TD Saini, AA Starobinsky, U Alam - Journal of Experimental and …, 2003 - Springer
We introduce a new cosmological diagnostic pair {r, s} called the Statefinder. The Statefinder
is a geometrical diagnostic and allows us to characterize the properties of dark energy in a …

Kinetically driven quintessence

T Chiba, T Okabe, M Yamaguchi - Physical Review D, 2000 - APS
Recently, a novel class of models for inflation has been found in which the inflationary
dynamics is driven solely by (noncanonical) kinetic terms rather than by potential terms. As …
