We investigate the behaviour of dark energy using the recently released supernova data of Riess et al ~(2004) and a model independent parameterization for dark energy (DE). We find that, if no priors are imposed on $Omega_{0m}$ and $h$, DE which evolves with time provides a better fit to the SNe data than $Lambda$CDM. This is also true if we include results from the WMAP CMB data. From a joint analysis of SNe+CMB, the best-fit DE model has $w_0 < -1$ at the present epoch and the transition from deceleration to acceleration occurs at $z_T = 0.39 pm 0.03$. However, DE evolution becomes weaker if the $Lambda$CDM based CMB results $Omega_{0m} = 0.27 pm 0.04$, $h = 0.71 pm 0.06$ are incorporated in the analysis. In this case, $z_T = 0.57 pm 0.07$. Our results also show that the extent of DE evolution is sensitive to the manner in which the supernova data is sampled.

In this paper we study the evolution of cosmological perturbations in the presence of dynamical dark energy, and revisit the issue of dark energy perturbations. For a generally parameterized equation of state (EoS) such as w_D(z) = w_0+w_1frac{z}{1+z
}, (for a single fluid or a single scalar field ) the dark energy perturbation diverges when its EoS crosses the cosmological constant boundary w_D=-1. In this paper we present a method of treating the dark energy perturbations during the crossing of the $w_D=-1$ surface by imposing matching conditions which require the induced 3-metric on the hypersurface of w_D=-1 and its extrinsic curvature to be continuous. These matching conditions have been used widely in the literature to study perturbations in various models of early universe physics, such as Inflation, the Pre-Big-Bang and Ekpyrotic scenarios, and bouncing cosmologies. In all of these cases the EoS undergoes a sudden change. Through a detailed analysis of the matching conditions, we show that delta_D and theta_D are continuous on the matching hypersurface. This justifies the method used[1-4] in the numerical calculation and data fitting for the determination of cosmological parameters. We discuss the conditions under which our analysis is applicable.
We investigate dynamical behavior of the equation of state of dark energy $w_{de}$ by employing the linear-spline method in the region of low redshifts from observational data (SnIa, BAO, CMB and 12 $H(z)$ data). The redshift is binned and $w_{de}$ i
s approximated by a linear expansion of redshift in each bin. We leave the divided points of redshift bins as free parameters of the model, the best-fitted values of divided points will represent the turning positions of $w_{de}$ where $w_{de}$ changes its evolving direction significantly (if there exist such turnings in our considered region). These turning points are natural divided points of redshift bins, and $w_{de}$ between two nearby divided points can be well approximated by a linear expansion of redshift. We find two turning points of $w_{de}$ in $zin(0,1.8)$ and one turning point in $zin (0,0.9)$, and $w_{de}(z)$ could be oscillating around $w=-1$. Moreover, we find that there is a $2sigma$ deviation of $w_{de}$ from -1 around $z=0.9$ in both correlated and uncorrelated estimates.
We use the Constitution supernova, the baryon acoustic oscillation, the cosmic microwave background, and the Hubble parameter data to analyze the evolution property of dark energy. We obtain different results when we fit different baryon acoustic osc
illation data combined with the Constitution supernova data to the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder model. We find that the difference stems from the different values of $Omega_{m0}$. We also fit the observational data to the model independent piecewise constant parametrization. Four redshift bins with boundaries at $z=0.22$, 0.53, 0.85 and 1.8 were chosen for the piecewise constant parametrization of the equation of state parameter $w(z)$ of dark energy. We find no significant evidence for evolving $w(z)$. With the addition of the Hubble parameter, the constraint on the equation of state parameter at high redshift isimproved by 70%. The marginalization of the nuisance parameter connected to the supernova distance modulus is discussed.
We further develop the gravitational model, Thomas-Whitehead Gravity (TW Gravity), that arises when projective connections become dynamical fields. TW Gravity has its origins in geometric actions from string theory where the TW projective connection
appears as a rank two tensor, $mathcal{D}_{ab}$, on the spacetime manifold. Using a Gauss-Bonnet (GB) action built from the $(mathrm{d}+1)$-dimensional TW connection, and applying the tensor decomposition $mathcal{D}_{ab} = D_{ab} + 4Lambda /(mathrm{d}(mathrm{d}-1)) g_{ab}$, we arrive at a gravitational model made up of a $mathrm{d}$-dimensional Einstein-Hilbert + GB action sourced by $D_{ab}$ and with cosmological constant $Lambda$. The $mathrm{d}=4$ action is studied and we find that $Lambda propto 1/J_0$, with $J_0$ the coupling constant for $D_{ab}$. For $Lambda$ equal to the current measured value, $J_0$ is on the order of the measured angular momentum of the observable Universe. We view this as $Lambda$ controlling the scale of patches of the Universe that acquire angular momentum, with the net angular momentum of multiple patches vanishing, as required by the cosmological principle. We further find a universal axial scalar coupling to all fermions where the trace, $mathcal{D} = mathcal{D}_{ab}g^{ab}$ acts as the scalar. This suggests that $mathcal{D}$ is also a dark matter portal for non-standard model fermions.
In the $Lambda$CDM model, dark energy is viewed as a constant vacuum energy density, the cosmological constant in the Einstein--Hilbert action. This assumption can be relaxed in various models that introduce a dynamical dark energy. In this letter, w
e argue that the mixing between infrared and ultraviolet degrees of freedom in quantum gravity lead to infinite statistics, the unique statistics consistent with Lorentz invariance in the presence of non-locality, and yield a fine structure for dark energy. Introducing IR and UV cutoffs into the quantum gravity action, we deduce the form of $Lambda$ as a function of redshift and translate this to the behavior of the Hubble parameter.
