Theoretical cosmology is a vastly developing science, bringing a fundamental link between particle physics, theoretical physics and astrophysics. Its recent success and huge increase of publications are related to the fact that we are living in the era of the so-called precision cosmology. Hence, more and more accurate bounds are obtained on the cosmological parameters through the whole cosmic history, starting from the Big Bang up to the currently observed Universe. Observational confirmations for the early and late accelerations come from data related to the cosmic microwave background, the large scale structure, the baryonic acoustic oscillations, the supernovae, the Hubble flow, the gravitational lensing, among others. The overall picture of the Universe is that of an accelerating dynamical system dominated by some cosmic fluids giving rise to the current ‘speed up’ (dark energy or cosmological constant), a dark matter component accounting for the clustering and the stability of structures, and some percentage of luminous matter, radiation and neutrinos.
