In an expanding universe the vacuum energy density \rho_{\Lambda} is expected to be a dynamical quantity. In quantum field theory in curved space-time \rho_{\Lambda} should exhibit a slow evolution, determined by the expansion rate of the…
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…
