CMB implications on the equation of state of dark energy.


Talk given the RAS meeting on The Cosmic Microwave Background and Fundamental Physics.

Abstract:

In this talk, I quickly review the experimental evidence for non-zero dark energy and te potential candidates. I explain how the CMB is affected by dark energy and what values can be expected for its equation of state. I show constraints obtained from CMB data and other cosmological data sets and conclude by mentioning future and ongoing work on the subject.
This talk is based on a collaboration with A. Melchiorri, M. Trodden and L. Mersini: astro-ph/0211522, PRD, in press.
