Alternative models Alternative - modified gravity dark energy is important only at late times large scales / low energy modifications cf. precession of perihelion dark planet v GR
Is cosmology probing breakdown of GR on cosmological scales?

Constraining MG models It is essential to combine many observations geometrical tests + structure formation Non-linear clustering is largely unknown theory must approach GR to satisfy solar system constraints N-body, renormalized perturbations Theorists should work hard no convincing models (yet!) f(r) ) models need contrive f(r) ) to avoid solar system constraints DGP model suffers from quantum (ghost) instability
