The review concentrates on what can be learned about Dark Matter, Dark Energy and Dark Gravity, and why. On Dark Matter, results on the confrontation of theoretical profiles with observation are reviewed, and measurements of neutrino masses discussed. On Dark Energy, the interest is whether this could be Einstein's cosmological constant, and prospects for high-precision studies of the equation of state are considered. On Dark Gravity, we consider the exciting prospects for future weak lensing surveys to distinguish General Relativity from extra-dimensional or other gravity theories.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-11-02T16:29:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dark matter", "dark energy", "dark gravity", "non-specialist review", "review concentrates" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nuclear Physics B Proceedings Supplements", "doi": "10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2009.07.005", "year": 2009, "month": "Oct", "volume": 194, "pages": 76 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 835790, "adsabs": "2009NuPhS.194...76H" } } }
