This article briefly summarizes and reviews the motivations for — and the present status of — the proposal that the small size of the observed Dark Energy density can be understood in terms of the dynamical relaxation of two large extra dimensions within a supersymmetric higher dimensional theory.PACS Nos.: 31.15.Pf, 31.30.Jv, 32.10.Hq

In this paper, we study viscous Modified Cosmic Chaplygin Gas (MCCG) in the presence of cosmological constant in flat FRW universe. We assume that bulk viscosity [Formula: see text] and cosmological constant [Formula: see text] are the linear combinations of two terms, one is constant and other is a function of dark energy density [Formula: see text]. In this framework, we solve the non-linear differential equation analytically and numerically and obtain time dependent dark energy density. We also consider two separate cases of early and late universe and discussed the evolution of dark energy density. We investigate the effect of viscosity and cosmological constant to the evolution of universe and discuss the stability of the model by square of speed of sound. Finally, we compare our model with Cardassian universe.

We use the Riess et al. (2004)1 supernova Ia apparent magnitude versus redshift data and the Allen et al. (2004)2 galaxy cluster gas mass fraction versus redshift data to constrain dark energy models. These data provide complementary constraints that when combined together significantly restrict model parameters and favor slowly-evolving dark energy density models, close to the Einstein cosmological constant limit of dark energy.

In N = 1 supergravity supersymmetric and nonsupersymmetric Minkowski vacua originating in the hidden sector can be degenerate. In the supersymmetric phase in flat Minkowski space, nonperturbative supersymmetry breakdown may take place in the observable sector, inducing a nonzero and positive vacuum energy density. Assuming that such a supersymmetric phase and the phase in which we live are degenerate, we estimate the value of the cosmological constant. We argue that the observed value of the dark energy density can be reproduced in the split SUSY scenario of SUSY breaking if the SUSY breaking scale is of order of 1010 GeV.

In this paper we have explored the consequences of a model of dark energy with its energy density varying exponentially with the scale factor. We first consider the model with ρϕ∝eκa, where κ is a constant. This is a kind of generalization of the cosmological constant model with κ=0. We show that such an exponentially varying dark energy density with the scale factor naturally leads to an equivalent phantom field. We also consider a model with ρϕ∝eκ/a and show that this also naturally leads to an equivalent phantom field.

In the Einstein–Cartan gravitational theory with the chameleon field, while changing its mass independently of the density of its environment, we analyze the Friedmann–Einstein equations for the Universe’s evolution with the expansion parameter a being dependent on time only. We analyze the problem of an identification of the chameleon field with quintessence, i.e., a canonical scalar field responsible for dark energy dynamics, and for the acceleration of the Universe’s expansion. We show that since the cosmological constant related to the relic dark energy density is induced by torsion (Astrophys. J.2016, 829, 47), the chameleon field may, in principle, possess some properties of quintessence, such as an influence on the dark energy dynamics and the acceleration of the Universe’s expansion, even in the late-time acceleration, but it cannot be identified with quintessence to the full extent in the classical Einstein–Cartan gravitational theory.

The problem of disparate estimates of the energy density of the vacuum can be solved, at least in principle, by reducing a higher-dimensional theory of gravity to general relativity and a local cosmological "constant."
