Resumo: Recent observations indicate that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating. This suggests the existence of some kind of exotic matter with negative pressure. The simplest possibility is a cosmological constant but there are alternatives, as for instance an evolving scalar field. In this paper we explore constraints from lensing statistics and high-z type Ia Supernovae on some of these alternatives.
