Decaying Dark Energy in Higher-Dimensional Gravity
J. M. Overduin, P. S. Wesson, B. Mashhoon
We use data from observational cosmology to put constraints on higher-dimensional extensions of general relativity in which the effective four-dimensional dark-energy density (or c…
Wolfgang Priester: from the big bounce to the Lambda-dominated universe
James Overduin, Hans-Joachim Blome, Josef Hoell
Wolfgang Priester was one of Germany's most versatile and quixotic astrophysicists, re-inventing himself successively as a radio astronomer, space physicist and cosmologist, and ma…
Dark Matter and Background Light
J. M. Overduin, P. S. Wesson
Progress in observational cosmology over the past five years has established that the Universe is dominated dynamically by dark matter and dark energy. Both these new and apparentl…
How dominant is the vacuum?
James Overduin, Wolfgang Priester
It would be hard to find a cosmologist today who does not believe that the vast bulk of the Universe (ninety-five percent or more) is hidden from our eyes. We review the evidence f…
Evolution of the Scale Factor with a Variable Cosmological Term
J. M. Overduin, F. I. Cooperstock
Evolution of the scale factor a(t) in Friedmann models (those with zero pressure and a constant cosmological term Lambda) is well understood, and elegantly summarized in the review…
