Voids, dark energy and tidal forces...?
I would like to ask you some questions I have about some interesting work I was reading (https://arxiv.org/abs/1205.4238 & https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/527/4/11962/7457744) where the authors analysed the effects of dark energy in the shape and evolution of voids

Apparently, they established a relation between dark energy, voids' ellipticity and tidal forces. I have a question about this, since it was not entirely clear to me:

Does it mean that dark energy (or the accelerated expansion of the universe) contributes to increase the ellipticity of voids? Then, does dark energy increase the tidal forces of the void (so that a greater dark energy density in the universe would result in more intense tidal forces in the void)?
