In a broad class of dark energy models, the universe may collapse within a finite time tc. Here we study a representative model of dark energy with a linear potential, V () = V0(1+α). This model is the simplest doomsday model, in which the universe collapses rather quickly after it stops expanding. Observational data from type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), cosmic microwave background anisotropy (CMB), and large scale structure (LSS) are complementary in constraining dark energy models. Using the new…

Probing the nature of dark energy
The cause for the observed acceleration in the expansion of the Universe is unknown, and referred to as “dark energy” for convenience. Dark energy could be an unknown energy component, or a…
Dark energy, α-attractors, and large-scale structure surveys
Over the last few years, a large family of cosmological attractor models has been discovered, which can successfully match the latest inflation-related observational data. Many of these models can…
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 for and recent…
Observational constraints on undulant cosmologies
In an undulant universe, cosmic expansion is characterized by alternating periods of acceleration and deceleration. We examine cosmologies in which the dark-energy equation of state varies…
New generalized Chaplygin gas as a scheme for unification of dark energy and dark matter
TLDR
It is shown that the NGCG model is totally dual to an interacting XCDM parametrization scenario, in which the interaction between dark energy and dark matter is characterized by the constant α.
Anthropic versus cosmological solutions to the coincidence problem
In this paper, we investigate possible solutions to the coincidence problem in flat phantom dark-energy models with a constant dark-energy equation of state and quintessence models with a linear…
Evolution of Interacting Viscous Dark Energy Model in Einstein Cosmology
We investigate the evolution of the viscous dark energy (DE) interacting with the dark matter (DM) in the Einstein cosmology model. By using the linearizing theory of the dynamical system, we find…
Axiverse extended: Vacuum destabilization, early dark energy, and cosmological collapse
A model is presented in the philosophy of the "String Axiverse" of Arvanitaki et al (arXiv:0905.4720v2 [hep-th]) that incorporates a coupling of ultralight axions to their corresponding moduli…
Interacting holographic dark energy
We demonstrate that a transition from decelerated to accelerated cosmic expansion arises as a pure interaction phenomenon if pressureless dark matter is coupled to holographic dark energy whose…
Cosmological imprint of the second law of thermodynamics
We study the evolution of the universe in the presence of inflaton, matter, radiation and holographic dark energy. The time evolution of the scale factor is obtained by solving the Friedmann equation…

Observational bounds on cosmic doomsday
Recently it was found, in a broad class of models, that the dark energy density may change its sign during the evolution of the universe. This may lead to a global collapse of the universe within the…
New dark energy constraints from supernovae, microwave background, and galaxy clustering.
Using supernova, cosmic microwave background, and galaxy clustering data, we make the most accurate measurements to date of the dark energy density rho(X) as a function of cosmic time, constraining…

Model-independent Constraints on Dark Energy Density from Flux-averaging Analysis of Type Ia Supernova Data

Observational Evidence from Supernovae for an Accelerating Universe and a Cosmological Constant

A NEW ALTERNATIVE MODEL TO DARK ENERGY
The recent observations of type Ia supernovae strongly support that the universe is accelerating now and decelerated in the recent past. This may be the evidence of the breakdown of the standard…

We explore the possibility that the dark energy is due to a potential of a scalar field and that the magnitude and the slope of this potential in our part of the universe are largely determined by…
