Two new one-parameter tracking behavior dark energy representations $\omega=\omega_0/(1+z)$ and $\omega=\omega_0 e^{z/(1+z)}/(1+z)$ are used to probe the geometry of the Universe and the property of dark energy. The combined type Ia…

We propose a novel parameterization of the dark energy density. It is particularly well suited to describe a non-negligible contribution of dark energy at early times and contains only three parameters, which are all physically meaningful:…

The variation of dark energy density with redshift, $\rho_X(z)$, provides a critical clue to the nature of dark energy. Since $\rho_X(z)$ depends on the dark energy equation of state $w_X(z)$ through an integral, $\rho_X(z)$ can be…

We use lookback time versus redshift data from galaxy clusters (Capozziello et al., 2004) and passively evolving galaxies (Simon et al., 2005), and apply a bayesian prior on the total age of the Universe based on WMAP measurements, to…

The equation of state of the hypothetical dark energy component, which constitutes about two thirds of the critical density of the universe, may be very different from that of a cosmological constant. Employing a phenomenological model, we…
