Abstract In the near future, the redshift drift observations in optical and radio bands will provide precise measurements on H(z) covering the redshift ranges of 2<z<5 and 0<z<0.3. In addition, gravitational wave (GW) standard siren observations could make measurements on the dipole anisotropy of luminosity distance, which will also provide the H(z) measurements in the redshift range of 0<z<3. In this work, we propose a multi-messenger and multi-wavelength observational strategy to measure H(z) based on the three next-generation projects, E-ELT, SKA, and DECIGO, and we wish to see whether the future H(z) measurements could provide tight constraints on dark-energy parameters. The dark energy models we consider include ΛCDM, wCDM, CPL, HDE, and IΛCDM models. It is found that E-ELT, SKA1, and DECIGO are highly complementary in constraining dark energy models. Although any one of these three data sets can only give rather weak constraints on each model we consider, the combination of them could significantly break the parameter degeneracies and give much tighter constraints on almost all the cosmological parameters. Moreover, we find that the combination of E-ELT, SKA1, DECIGO, and CMB could further improve the constraints on dark energy parameters, e.g., σ(w 0)=0.024 and σ(w a)=0.17 in the CPL model, which means that these three promising probes will play a key role in helping reveal the nature of dark energy.

ABSTRACT Cosmological observations usually map our present-day past light cone. However, it is also possible to compare different past light cones. This is the concept behind the redshift drift, a model-independent probe of fundamental cosmology. In simple physical terms, this effectively allows us to watch the Universe expand in real time. While current facilities only allow sensitivities several orders of magnitude worse than the expected signal, it should be possible to detect it with forthcoming ones. Here, we discuss the potential impact of measurements by three such facilities: the Extremely Large Telescope (the subject of most existing redshift drift forecasts), but also the Square Kilometre Array and intensity mapping experiments. For each of these we assume the measurement sensitivities estimated respectively in Liske et al. (2008), Klockner et al. (2015), and Yu, Zhang & Pen (2014). We focus on the role of these measurements in constraining dark energy scenarios, highlighting the fact that although on their own they yield comparatively weak constraints, they do probe regions of parameter space that are typically different from those probed by other experiments, as well as being redshift dependent. Specifically, we quantify how combinations of several redshift drift measurements at different redshifts, or combinations of redshift drift measurements with those from other canonical cosmological probes, can constrain some representative dark energy models. Our conclusion is that a model-independent mapping of the expansion of the universe from redshift z = 0 to z = 4 – a challenging but feasible goal for the next generation of astrophysical facilities – can have a significant impact on fundamental cosmology.

We use effective field theory (EFT) formalism to forecast the constraint on Horndeski class of dark energy models with future supernova and galaxy surveys. Previously, Gleyzes et al. computed unmarginalized constraints (68% CL error [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]) on EFT dark energy parameters by fixing all other parameters. We extend the previous work by allowing all cosmological parameters and nuisance parameters to vary and marginalize over them. We find that (i) the constraints on EFT dark energy parameters are typically worsen by a factor of few after marginalization, and (ii) the constraint on the dark energy equation-of-state [Formula: see text] is not significantly affected by the inclusion of EFT dark energy parameters.

In the present article, we investigate the physical acceptability of the spatially homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann–Lemâitre–Robertson–Walker line element filled with two fluids, with the first being pressureless matter and the second being different types of holographic dark energy. This geometric and material content is considered within the gravitational field equations of the f(T,B) (where T is the torsion scalar and the B is the boundary term) gravity in Hubble’s cut-off. The cosmological parameters, such as the Equation of State (EoS) parameter, during the cosmic evolution, are calculated. The models are stable throughout the universe expansion. The region in which the model is presented is dependent on the real parameter δ of holographic dark energies. For all δ≥4.5, the models vary from ΛCDM era to the quintessence era.

We discuss the interacting modified QCD ghost dark energy and generalized ghost pilgrim dark energy with cold dark matter in the framework of dynamical Chern–Simons modified gravity. We investigate the cosmological parameters such as Hubble parameter, deceleration parameter and equation of state. We also discuss the physical significance of various cosmological planes like [Formula: see text] and statefinders. It is found that the results of cosmological parameters as well as planes explain the accelerated expansion of the Universe and are compatible with observational data.

This work deals with two fluid system in the framework of generalized Rastall gravity theory. One component represents dark energy whereas the other is dark matter. For the dark energy component, entropy corrected holographic and entropy corrected new agegraphic dark energy models in power-law and logarithmic versions are taken into account. For this study, we assume two classes of scale factors in which one corresponds to the future singularity and another corresponds to the initial singularity. For each of the entropy corrected dark energy models, the cosmological parameters such as Hubble parameter, deceleration parameter and equation of state parameter are calculated and their implications are established. Furthermore, to describe the stability analysis of the models, the behaviors of the squared speed of sound are analyzed graphically for each of these models. From the graphical analysis of [Formula: see text] plane, the thawing or freezing regions of all the models are determined.

We propose a nonparametric method to determine the sign of γ — the redshift evolution index of dark energy. This is important for distinguishing between positive energy models, a cosmological constant, and what is generally called ghost models. Our method is based on geometrical properties and is more tolerant to uncertainties of other cosmological parameters than fitting methods in what concerns the sign of γ. The same parametrization can also be used for determining γ and its redshift dependence by fitting. We apply this method to SNLS supernovae and to gold sample of re-analyzed supernovae data from Riess et al. Both datasets show strong indication of a negative γ. If this result is confirmed by more extended and precise data, many of the dark energy models, including simple cosmological constant, standard quintessence models without interaction between quintessence scalar field(s) and matter, and scaling models are ruled out. We have also applied this method to Gurzadyan–Xue models with varying fundamental constants to demonstrate the possibility of using it to test other cosmologies.

We develop the connection off(R)theory with new agegraphic and holographic dark energy models. The functionf(R)is reconstructed regarding thef(R)theory as an effective description for these dark energy models. We show the future evolution offand conclude that these functions represent distinct pictures of cosmological eras. The cosmological parameters such as equation of state parameter, deceleration parameter, statefinder diagnostic, andw−w′analysis are investigated which assure the evolutionary paradigm off.

ABSTRACT Robust measurements of cosmological parameters from galaxy surveys rely on our understanding of systematic effects that impact the observed galaxy density field. In this paper, we present, validate, and implement the idea of adopting the systematics mitigation method of artificial neural networks for modelling the relationship between the target galaxy density field and various observational realities including but not limited to Galactic extinction, seeing, and stellar density. Our method by construction allows a wide class of models and alleviates overtraining by performing k-fold cross-validation and dimensionality reduction via backward feature elimination. By permuting the choice of the training, validation, and test sets, we construct a selection mask for the entire footprint. We apply our method on the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) Emission Line Galaxies (ELGs) selection from the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey (DECaLS) Data Release 7 and show that the spurious large-scale contamination due to imaging systematics can be significantly reduced by up-weighting the observed galaxy density using the selection mask from the neural network and that our method is more effective than the conventional linear and quadratic polynomial functions. We perform extensive analyses on simulated mock data sets with and without systematic effects. Our analyses indicate that our methodology is more robust to overfitting compared to the conventional methods. This method can be utilized in the catalogue generation of future spectroscopic galaxy surveys such as eBOSS and Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) to better mitigate observational systematics.

We study the phase-space dynamics of cosmological models in the theoretical formulations of nonminimal metric-torsion couplings with a scalar field, and investigate in particular the critical points (CPs) which yield stable solutions exhibiting cosmic acceleration driven by the dark energy (DE). The latter is so defined that it effectively has no direct interaction with the cosmological fluid, although in an equivalent scalar–tensor cosmological setup, the scalar field interacts with the fluid (which we consider to be the pressureless dust). Determining the conditions for the existence of the stable CPs, we check their physical viability in both Einstein and Jordan frames. We also verify that in either of these frames, the evolution of the universe at the corresponding stable points matches with that given by the respective exact solutions we have found in an earlier work [S. Sur and A. S. Bhatia, arXiv:1611.00654 [gr-qc]]. We not only examine the regions of physical relevance in the phase-space when the coupling parameter is varied, but also demonstrate the evolution profiles of the cosmological parameters of interest along fiducial trajectories in the effectively noninteracting scenarios, in both Einstein and Jordan frames.

We consider two-component dark energy models in Lyra manifold. The first component is assumed to be a quintessence field while the second component may be a viscous polytropic gas, a viscous Van der Waals gas, or a viscous modified Chaplygin gas. We also consider the possibility of interaction between components. By using the numerical analysis, we study some cosmological parameters of the models and compare them with observational data.
