Dark energy: The cosmological challenge of the millennium

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 related to the modelling of this component ('dark energy'), which is driving an accelerated expansion of the universe, are reviewed with special emphasis on the cosmological constant as the possible choice for the dark energy.

- Categorizing Different Approaches to the Cosmological Constant Problem (2004, background): “Recently, some arguments have been put forward in which a sort of unimodular theory is supposed to originate more naturally as a result of ’the quantum microstructure of spacetime being capable of readjusting itself, soaking up any vacuum energy’, see [70, 24, 71].”
