  9. L Dark Energy Models • Trans Planckian: energy stored in perturbation modes on super-horizon scales (Mersini et al., PRD64 043508, 2001) • Spacetime microstructure: self-adjusting spacetime capable to absorbe vacuum energy (Padmanabhan, gr-qc/0204020) • Matter-Energy Transition: dark matter converts to dark energy at low redshifts (astro-ph/0203383) • Brane worlds: brane tension (Shani & Sthanov astro-ph/0202346); cyclic-ekpyrotic cosmic vacuum (Steinhardt &Tutok hep-th/0111098) • Quintessence: tracking scalar fields (Steinhardt, Wang & Zlatev, • PRD59, 123504, 1999; Ratra & Peebles, Wetterich 1988) • Extended Quintessence: non-minimal coupling to Gravity (Uzan • Chiba, Perrotta, Baccigalupi, Matarrese, PRD61, 023507, 2000 • Coupled Quintessence: coupling with dark matter (Amendola, • Pietroni...) f
