If the dark energy is modelled as a relativistic elastic solid then the standard CDM and $\Lambda$CDM models, as well as lattice configurations of cosmic strings or domain walls, are points in the two-dimensional parameter space $(w,c_{\rm…
On the cosmological length scale, recent measurements by WMAP have validated $\Lambda$CDM to a precision not see before in cosmology. Such is not the case on galactic length scales, however, where the `cuspy-core' problem has demonstrated…
We elaborate on a model of conformal dark energy (dynamical dark energy measured by the conformal age of the universe) recently proposed in [H. Wei and R.G. Cai, arXiv:0708.0884] where the present-day dark energy density was taken to be…

Early dark energy models, for which the contribution to the dark energy density at high redshifts is not negligible, influence the growth of cosmic structures and could leave observable signatures that are different from the standard…
By studying the present cosmological data, particularly on CMB, SNeIA and LSS, we find that the future fate of the universe, for simple linear models of the dark energy equation-of-state, can vary between the extremes of (I) a divergence of…
We consider the dynamics of a cosmological substratum of pressureless matter and holographic dark energy with a cutoff length proportional to the Ricci scale. Stability requirements for the matter perturbations are shown to single out a…
Dark energy with the usually used equation of state $p=w\rho$, where $w=const<0$ is hydrodynamically unstable. To overcome this drawback we consider the cosmology of a perfect fluid with a linear equation of state of a more general form…
The Schr\"odinger-Newton equation is a proposed model to explain the localization of macroscopic particles by suppressing quantum dispersion with the particle's own gravitational attraction. On cosmic scales, however, dark energy also acts…
We introduce a method to constrain the characteristic angular size of the brightest cosmic-ray sources observed above 57 \times 1018 eV. By angular size of a source, we mean the effective angular extent over which cosmic-rays from that…
