Dynamics of dark energy
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 …

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 …

Cosmological dynamics of a phantom field
We study the general features of a dynamics of a phantom field in the cosmological context.
In the case of an inverse coshyperbolic potential, we demonstrate that the phantom field can …

Dark energy and gravity
T Padmanabhan - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2008 - Springer
I review the problem of dark energy focussing on cosmological constant as the candidate

Probing the coupling between dark components of the universe
We place observational constraints on a coupling between dark energy and dark matter by
using 71 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the first year of the five-year Supernova Legacy …

Phantom field and the fate of the universe
M Sami, A Toporensky - Modern Physics Letters A, 2004 - World Scientific
In this paper we analyze the cosmological dynamics of phantom field in a variety of
potentials unbounded from above. We demonstrate that the nature of future evolution …

Dark energy: the cosmological challenge of the millennium
T Padmanabhan - Current Science, 2005 - JSTOR
Recent cosmological observations suggest that nearly seventy per cent of the energy
density in the universe is unclustered and has negative pressure. Several conceptual issues …

Effective equation of state and energy conditions in phantom/tachyon inflationary cosmology perturbed by quantum effects
We discuss the model consisting of tachyon which may have the negative kinetic energy
plus scalar phantom and plus conformal quantum matter. It is demonstrated that such a …

Challenges for scaling cosmologies
A cosmological model that aims at solving the coincidence problem should show that dark
energy and dark matter follow the same scaling solution from some time onward. At the …
