Abstract We present a tetrad--affine approach to $f(\mathcal{Q})$ gravity coupled to spinor fields of spin-$\frac{1}{2}$. After deriving the field equations, we derive the conservation law of the spin density, showing that the latter ensures the vanishing of the antisymmetric part of the Einstein--like equations, just as it happens in theories with torsion and metricity. We then focus on Bianchi type-I cosmological models proposing a general procedure to solve the corresponding field equations and providing analytical solutions in the case of gravitational Lagrangian functions of the kind $f(\mathcal{Q})=\alpha\mathcal{Q}^n$. At late time such solutions are seen to isotropize and, depending on the value of the exponent $n$, they can undergo an accelerated expansion of the spatial scale factors.

In this work, LRS Bianchi type-I cosmological model with perfect fluid source in [Formula: see text] gravity theory, where [Formula: see text] is the Ricci scalar and [Formula: see text] is the trace of the stress energy-momentum tensor, has been studied in order to investigate early time deceleration and late time acceleration of the universe. By proposing a new special form of time-varying deceleration parameter in terms of Hubble parameter, the exact solution of the field equations has been obtained. The physical and geometric quantities of the model have been derived and their evolution has been discussed. Our model has an initial singularity and initially exhibits decelerating expansion and transits to accelerating expansion phase at last eras. The nature of the matter source of the model is consistent with the standard model in frame of the structure formation.

We present perfect fluid Bianchi type-I cosmological models with time-dependent cosmological term [Formula: see text]. Exact solutions of the Einstein’s field equations are presented via a suitable functional form for Hubble parameter [Formula: see text], which yields a model of the universe that represents initially decelerating and late-time accelerating expansion. We discuss, in the context of some vacuum decay laws, cosmological implications of the corresponding solutions. The physical and geometrical features of the models are also discussed.

AbstractIn this paper, we have investigated the homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type–I cosmological model with a time-varying Newtonian and cosmological constant. We have analytically solved Einstein’s field equations (EFEs) in the presence of a stiff-perfect fluid. We show that the analytical solution for the average scale factor for the generalized Friedman equation involves the hyper-geometric function. We have studied the physical and kinematical quantities of the model, and it is found that the universe becomes isotropic at late times.

The impact of anisotropy on the Ricci dark energy cosmologies is investigated where it is assumed that the geometry of the universe is described by Bianchi type I (BI) metric. The main goal is to determine the astrophysical constraints on the model by using the current available data as type Ia supernovae (SNIa), the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO), and the Hubble parameter [Formula: see text] data. In this regard, a maximum likelihood method is applied to constrain the cosmological parameters. Combining the data, it is found out that the allowed range for the density parameter of the model stands in [Formula: see text]. With the help of the Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) sample, we estimate the possible dipole anisotropy of the Ricci dark energy model. Then, by using a standard [Formula: see text] minimization method, it is realized that the transition epoch from early decelerated to current accelerated expansion occurs faster in Ricci dark energy model than [Formula: see text]CDM model. The results indicate that the BI model for the Ricci dark energy is consistent with the observational data.

In this paper, we will discuss cosmological models using Bianchi type I for anisotropic fluid in [Formula: see text] theory of gravity which involves scalar potential. For this purpose, we consider power law assumptions of coupling function and scalar field along with the proportionality condition of expansion and shear scalars. We choose two [Formula: see text] models and obtain exact solutions of field equations in both cases. For these constructed models, the behavior of different physical quantities like EoS parameter, self-interacting potential as well as deceleration and skewness parameters are explored and illustrated graphically for the feasible ranges of free parameters. It is concluded that anisotropic fluid approaches isotropy in later cosmic times for both models.

Here, we have investigated the interaction of Bianchi type-I anisotropic cloud string cosmological model universe with electromagnetic field in the context of general relativity. In this paper, the energy-momentum tensor is assumed to be the sum of the rest energy density and string tension density with an electromagnetic field. To obtain exact solution of Einstein’s field equations, we take the average scale factor as an integrating function of time. Also, the dynamics and significance of various physical parameters of model are discussed.

AbstractWe examine the time evolution of the $$D=d+4$$D=d+4 dimensional Einstein field equations subjected to a flat Robertson-Walker metric where the 3D and higher-dimensional scale factors are allowed to evolve at different rates. We find the exact solution to these equations for a single fluid component, which yields two limiting regimes offering the 3D scale factor as a function of the time. The fluid regime solution closely mimics that described by 4D FRW cosmology, offering a late-time behavior for the 3D scale factor after becoming valid in the early universe, and can give rise to a late-time accelerated expansion driven by vacuum energy. This is shown to be preceded by an earlier volume regime solution, which offers a very early-time epoch of accelerated expansion for a radiation-dominated universe for $$d=1$$d=1. The time scales describing these phenomena, including the transition from volume to fluid regime, are shown to fall within a small fraction of the first second when the fundamental constants of the theory are aligned with the Planck time. This model potentially offers a higher-dimensional alternative to scalar-field inflationary theory and a consistent cosmological theory, yielding a unified description of early- and late-time accelerated expansions via a 5D spacetime scenario.

The present study deals with a spatially homogeneous locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type-I dark energy cosmological model containing one dimensional cosmic string fluid source. The Einstein's field equations are solved by using a relation between the metric potentials and hybrid expansion law of average scale factor. We discuss accelerated expansion of our model through equation of state (ωde) and deceleration parameter (q). We observe that in the evolution of our model, the equation of state parameter starts from matter dominated phase ωde > -1/3 and ultimately attains a constant value in quintessence region (-1 < ωde < -1/3). The EoS parameter of the model never crosses the phantom divide line (ωde = 1). These facts are consistent with recent observations. We also discuss some other physical parameters.

A five dimensional Kaluza-Klein space time is considered with wet dark fluid (WDF) source in the framework of f(R,T) gravity, where R is the Ricci scalar and T is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor proposed by Harko et al. (Phys. Rev. D \textbf{84}, 024020, (2011)). A new equation of state in the form of WDF has been used for dark energy (DE) component of the universe. It is modeled on the equation of state p=\omega(\rho-\rho^*) which can be describing a liquid, for example water. The exact solutions to the corresponding field equations are obtained for power law and exponential law of the volumetric expansion. The geometrical and physical parameters for both the models are studied. The model obtained here may represent the inflationary era in the early universe and the very late time of the universe. This model obtained here shows that even in the presence of wet dark fluid, the universe indicates accelerated expansion of the universe.
