Dark Energy Types  

Types, Equation of State > s.a. FRW models; graviton.
* Possibilities: Cosmological constant (w –1), quintessence, phantom energy (which may lead to big rip), ...
* Equation of state: Usually parametrized by a perfect-fluid-type form p = w, where a cosmological constant corresponds to w = –1.
* Chaplygin gas: 2004, cmb peaks indicate 0 < r 1, but supernovae indicate r > 1; > s.a. inflationary scenarios.

And Dark Matter > s.a. brans-dicke theory; equivalence principle [violation].
* Idea: The two could originate from the same field(s); For example, dark matter (possibly in the form of massive, sterile neutrinos) could condensate and act as dust on scales below the horizon, and be in a negative-pressure vacuum at scales above the horizon.
