  2. Main Points of Talk • Accellerating Expansion of the Universe from SNe Ia(and other)datasets • Accelerating Expansion: Dark Energy or Modified Gravity • The Gravitational Properties of Dark Energy are getting severely constrainedby Cosmological Observations • Extended Gravity Theories can be observationally distinguishedfrom Dark Energy

  3. Universe Description Homogeneous-Isotropic System + Perturbations General Relativity Two Parameters: Geometry ( Curvature k=-1,0,+1), Scale (Scale Factor a(t)) Universe Expands FRW Metric Closed Open Flat Flat: Favored by Observations and Theory

  4. Dynamics: The Dark Energy Puzzle Friedmann Equation Flat General Relativity DirectlyObservable Dark Energy(Inferred) DirectlyObservable Q: Is GR the correct theory on the Largest Scales? What is the Correct Theory? No Yes What are the properties of the dark energy? What microphysical theory can reproduce these properties?

  5. Hubble Diagram Accelerating Universe: (rate of expansion) was smaller in the past. Thus H-1(t) was larger in the past. Standard Candles SNeIa Luminus Objects of a given redshift appear to be further away (dimmer) in an Accelerating Universe

  11. Expansion History of the Universe Expected: Decelerated Expansion due to Gravity Observed: Accelerated Expansion Q: What causes the Acceleration?

  12. Cosmological Puzzles ? • Observed: Accelerated ExpansionExpected: Deceleration due to GravityQ: What causes acceleration? • Observed (CMB): Flat Geometry (ρtot=ρcrit)(LSS) : ρ0m=0.3ρcritExpected: ρ0m=ρcritQ: Where (and what) is the missing mass? • Observed: Globular Cluster Age=13GyrsExpected (ρ0m=ρcrit): Age < (2/3)H0-1=10GyrsQ: Why is the universe so old (t0>13Gyrs)?

  30. SUMMARY • The Expansion of the Universe is currently accelerating. • This acceleration can be modeled either by a Dark Energy or by Extended Gravity Theories. • All recent SnIa data indicate that w(z) is close to -1. Thus w(z) may be crossing the w=-1 line. • Minimally Coupled Scalar predicts no crossing of w=-1 line • Scalar Tensor Theories are consistent with crossing of w=-1

  35. Possible Systematic Errors Q: What (other than distance) could be making high-z SnIa dimmer? No! Dust absorbs blue light more than red light. Distant SnIa have similar spectra as nearby SnIa. Could it be Dust? No! The diming does not continue to amplify at z>0.5 Could it be Grey Dust? No! The time evolution of SnIa spectrum is identical for close and for distant SnIa. Could it be Evolution of SnIa?
