The lectures that four authors present in this volume investigate
core topics related to the accelerated expansion of the Universe.
Accelerated expansion occured in the ?36 very early Universe - an
exponential expansion in the in ationary period 10 s after the Big
Bang. This well-established theoretical concept had rst been p-
posed in 1980 by Alan Guth to account for the homogeneity and
isotropy of the observable universe, and simultaneously by Alexei
Starobinski, and has since then been developed by many authors in
great theoretical detail. An accelerated expansion of the late
Universe at redshifts z< 1 has been disc- ered in 1998; the
expansion is not slowing down under the in uence of gravity, but is
instead accelerating due to some uniformly distributed,
gravitationally repulsive substance accounting for more than 70% of
the mass-energy content of the U- verse, which is now known as dark
energy. Its most common interpretation today is given in terms of
the so-called CDM model with a cosmological constant .
