abstract

Theoretical approaches to explaining the observed acceleration of the universe are reviewed. We briefly discuss the evidence for cosmic acceleration, and the implications for standard General Relativity coupled to conventional sources of energy-momentum. We then address three broad methods of addressing an accelerating universe: the introduction of a cosmological constant, its problems and origins; the possibility of dark energy, and the associated challenges for fundamental physics; and the option that an infrared modification of general relativity may be responsible for the large-scale behavior of the universe.

A solid unification of the dark sector

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-25 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A generalized Chaplygin-type solid unifies dark matter and dark energy via an early pressureless phase transitioning to a late solid phase that supports acceleration and produces distinct low-redshift perturbation signatures.

Cosmological searches for the neutrino mass scale and mass ordering

astro-ph.CO · 2019-07-18 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Thesis summarizing an upper limit of 0.12 eV on the neutrino mass sum, bias calibration via CMB lensing cross-correlations, and tighter limits plus stronger normal-ordering preference in non-phantom dynamical dark energy models.

  • How deep can a cosmic void be? Voids-informed theoretical bounds in Galileon gravity astro-ph.CO · 2026-01-08 · unverdicted · none · ref 6 · internal anchor

    Galileon models must obey a void-depth limit tied to expansion history to avoid force breakdowns, excluding ~60% of a linear parameterization's space by z less than or equal to 10.
