(Hu and Sawicki, 2007)
(Starobinsky, 2007)
They satisfy f (R=0)=0, the cosmological constant disappears in flat spacetime.
n >0.9 local gravity constraints can be satisfied (S.Tsujikawa,2008)

Some remarks:
1) The cosmological constant is undistinguished from the vacuum expectation value of quantum fields
2) The cosmological constant problem is an issue in quantum gravity
3) The cosmological constant problem is an UV problem
4) The dark energy problem is an IR problem
5) To resolve the dark energy problem: quantum properties of gravity, UV/IR relation…..6) Of course, other viewpoints
Application of holography to dark energy : UV/IR Relation
[A.Cohen, D. Kaplan and A. Nelson, PRL 82, 4971 (1999)]

UV/IR relation, effective cosmological constant and dark energy
A. Cohen et al, (1999): L~Hubble horizon S. Hsu (2004): L~Hubble horizon M. Li (2004): L~particle horizon, event horizon….
What is the IR cutoff L?
Holographic dark energy (Hsu, 2004, Li, 2004) ?
What is the IR Cutoff L for the universe?
(1) Hubble horizon? L=1/H(2) Particle horizon?(3) Event horizon? (4) Other Choices?
While the holographic energy with event horizon works well, however,
Issues here :• The event horizon is a global concept for manifold;• It exists only for eternal accelerated universe;• It is determined by future evolution of the universe

A new idea on the dark energy: Agegraphic dark energy model
(RGC: arXiv:0707.4049, PLB 657:228-231,2007
Karolyhazy relation (F. Karolyhazy et al, 1966):
(1) General relativity: a classical theory(2) Quantum mechanics: Heisenberg uncertainty relation
the distance t in Minkowski spacetime cannot be known to a better accuracy than
The Karolyhazy relation together with the time-energy uncertainty relation in quantum mechanics leads to a energy density of quantum fluctuation of spacetime metric (Maziashvili, 2006, 2007)
(N. Sasakura, 1999, Y.J. Ng et al,1994; 2006,2007)
A few features: (1) energy density exists within a causal patch (2) obey the holographic entropy bound; (3) resemble the holographic dark energy
(X. Calmet: hep-th/0701073)
The new proposal is (arXiv:0707.4049)
As the dark energy density in the universe with age T.
A New model for the agegraphic dark energy (Wei and Cai: arXiv:0708.0884, PLB 660:113-117,2008 )

conclusion:A flat universe with atiny cosmologicalconstant is consistent with observational data so far!
Then why the cosmological constant is not good?
1) It is the greatest blunder?
2) The coincidence problem?
3) The worst prediction?

3) The vacuum energy in QFT
about 122 orders of magnitude larger the observed one
Consider:
The effective action:
At one-loop:
i) Planck scale => 122 ordersii) Tev scale => 55 orders
Do we understand the vacuum energy?
which gives the false result:
The vacuum energy does not gravitate;The shift of the vacuum energy does gravitate?
1) The dark energy problem is nothing, but a cosmological constant problem.
2) The cosmological constant is so far so good!
Possible answer:
Thanks!
