The constraint on the total energy in a given spatial region is given from holography by the mass of a black hole which just fits in that region, which leads to an UV/IR relation: the maximal energy density in that region is proportional to…
Theoretical results on a conventional approach to the dark energy (DE) concept are reviewed and discussed. According to them, there is absolutely no need for a novel DE component in the Universe, provided that the associated matter-energy…
A cosmological model of an holographic dark energy interacting with dark matter throughout a decaying term of the form $Q=3(\lambda_1\rho_{DE} + \lambda_2\rho_m) H$ is investigated. General constraint on the parameters of the model are…
