Expansion dynamics of the Universe is an important subject in modern cosmology. The dark energy equation of state determines these dynamics so that the Universe is in an accelerating phase. However, dark matter (DM) can also affect the accelerated expansion of the Universe through its equation of state. In the present work, we explore the expansion dynamics of the Universe in the presence of DM pressure. In this regard, applying the DM equation of state from the observational data related to the rotational curves of galaxies, we calculate the evolution of DM density. Moreover, the Hubble parameter, history of scale factor, luminosity distance, and deceleration parameter are studied while the DM pressure is taken into account. Our results verify that the DM pressure leads to higher values of the Hubble parameter at each redshift and the expansion of the Universe grows due to the DM pressure.

Abstract It is shown that the hypothesis of permitting variability of the Newtonian constant G, increasing with the local density of dark matter, implies that there is no need for the introduction of a cosmological constant or accelerated expansion of the universe. A higher value of G in the younger universe leads to an enhanced redshift of the spectra from e.g. supernovae, which results in an estimation of a larger distance and magnitude. Interpreting relevant astronomical observations in terms of both effects leads remarkably to a linear relationship between the redshift and the magnitude of the supernovae throughout the history of the universe. Furthermore it is shown, that from CMB measurements, no reliable conclusions can be drawn about the structure and geometry of the universe. It is concluded that, if the hypothesis survives further tests, no valid evidence is available that would point to an accelerated expansion of the universe and therefore it is not necessary to assume the existence of dark energy.

Dark energy and the accelerated expansion of the universe have been the direct predictions of the distant supernovae Ia observations which are also supported, indirectly, by the observations of the CMB anisotropies, gravitational lensing and the studies of galaxy clusters. Today these results are accommodated in what has become the concordance cosmology: a universe with flat spatial sections t = constant with about 70% of its energy in the form of Einstein's cosmological constant Λ and about 25% in the form of dark matter (made of perhaps weakly-interacting massive particles). Though the composition is weird, the theory has shown remarkable successes at many fronts. However, we find that as more and more supernovae Ia are observed, more accurately and towards higher redshift, the probability that the data are well-explained by the cosmological models decreases alarmingly, finally ruling out the concordance model at more than 95% confidence level. This raises doubts against the "standard candle"-hypothesis of the supernovae Ia and their use in constraining the cosmological models. We need a better understanding of the entire SN Ia phenomenon in order to extract cosmological consequences from them.

This paper is devoted to study the power-law entropy corrected holographic dark energy (ECHDE) model in the framework of f(T) gravity. We assume infrared (IR) cutoff in terms of Granda–Oliveros (GO) length and discuss the constructed f(T) model in interacting as well as in non-interacting scenarios. We explore some cosmological parameters like equation of state (EoS), deceleration, statefinder parameters as well as ωT–ωT′ analysis. The EoS and deceleration parameters indicate phantom behavior of the accelerated expansion of the universe. It is mentioned here that statefinder trajectories represent consistent results with ΛCDM limit, while evolution trajectory of ωT–ωT′ phase plane does not approach to ΛCDM limit for both interacting and non-interacting cases.

A brief overview of the history of the origin and development of the cosmological distance scale based on redshift is given. Statistical aspects of the problem of calibration of scales of this type are considered and their analogy with the problems of calibration of measurement tools is shown. The analysis of the first data on the basis of which the “accelerated expansion of the Universe” was detected. The Consequences of Anisotropy for Distance Scale is analyzed.

We consider a five-dimensional Ricci flat Bouncing cosmology and assume that the four-dimensional universe is permeated smoothly by three minimally coupled matter components: CDM + baryons ρm, radiation ρr and dark energy ρx. Evolutions of these three components are studied and it is found that dark energy dominates before the bounce, and pulls the universe contracting. In this process, dark energy decreases while radiation and the matter increases. After the bounce, the radiation and matter dominates alternatively and then decreases with the expansion of the universe. At present, the dark energy dominates again and pushes the universe accelerating. In this model, we also obtain that the equation of state (EOS) of dark energy at present time is wx0≈-1.05 and the redshift of the transition from decelerated expansion to accelerated expansion is zT≈0.37, which are compatible with the current observations.

The generalized hybrid metric-Palatini theory of gravity admits a scalar-tensor representation in terms of two interacting scalar fields. We show that, upon an appropriate choice of the interaction potential, one of the scalar fields behaves like dark energy, inducing a late-time accelerated expansion of the universe, while the other scalar field behaves like pressureless dark matter that, together with ordinary baryonic matter, dominates the intermediate phases of cosmic evolution. This unified description of dark energy and dark matter gives rise to viable cosmological solutions, which reproduce the main features of the evolution of the universe.

The necessity of the dark energy and dark matter in the present universe could be a consequence of the antimatter elimination assumption in the early universe. Current cosmological models that rely on the dark side have left many unsolved mysteries, remarkably: tension in Hubble parameter measurements, the accelerated expansion, the fast orbital speed of stars, the dark flow observations, cosmic horizon, space flatness, absent of the antimatter, etc. On the other hand, General Relativity (GR) has relied on the spacetime to demonstrate the movement of matter due to a local curvature caused by the presence of matter. Founded on this, I trace the evolution of the spacetime worldlines based on the evolution of the universe spatial scale factor and its evolution time in polar coordinates in order to construct a potential spatial curvature over the temporal dimension or a global spacetime curvature. The mathematical derivations of a positively curved universe governed by only gravity revealed two opposite solutions of the worldline evolution. This possibly implies that the matter and antimatter could be evolving in opposite directions as distinct sides of the universe. By implementing the derived model, we find a decelerated phase of spatial expansion during the first 10 Gyr, that is followed by a second phase of an accelerated expansion; potentially matching the tension in Hubble parameter measurements. In addition, the model predicts a final time-reversal phase of spatial contraction, due to rapid surge in density i.e. reversal entropy, leading to a Big Crunch of a cyclic universe. The predicted density is 1.14. Other predictions are (1) an evolvable curved spacetime at the decelerated phase that is transformed to flatness at the accelerated phase with internal voids which could continuously increase the matter and antimatter densities elsewhere in both sides. (2) the spatial curvature through time dimension along spacetime worldlines was found to increase galaxy orbital speed and (3) a calculable flow rate of the matter side towards the antimatter side at the accelerated phase; conceivably explaining the dark flow observation. These findings may indicate the existence of the antimatter as a distinct side, which influences the evolution of the universe instead of the dark energy or dark matter. These theoretical outcomes and predictions are promising, which can be verified, fine-tuned or disproved using astrometric data in future works.

Exploring the accelerated expansion of the universe, we investigate the generalized ghost dark energy (GGDE) model from the statefinder diagnostic analysis in a flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker universe. First, we calculate the cosmological evolution and statefinder trajectories for noninteracting case and then extend this work by considering the interaction between dark matter and dark energy components. We show that in the noninteracting case the phantom line cannot be crossed and also the evolutionary trajectories of model in s - r plane cannot be discriminated. It has been shown that the present location of model in s - r plane would be close to observational value for negative values of the model parameter. In the presence of interaction between dark matter and dark energy, the phantom regime is achieved, the accelerated phase of expansion occurs sooner compared with the noninteracting case. The GGDE model is also discussed from the viewpoint of perturbation theory by calculating the adiabatic sound speed of the model. Finally, unlike the noninteracting case, the evolutionary trajectories in s - r plane can be discriminated in the interacting model. Like the noninteracting model, in the interacting case the present location of GGDE model is closer to observational value for negative values of the model parameter.

In this work, we reconstruct the f(R) modified gravity for different ghost and generalized-ghost dark energy (DE) models in FRW flat universe, which describes the accelerated expansion of the universe. The equation of state and deceleration parameter of reconstructed f(R) gravity have been calculated. The equation of state and deceleration parameter of reconstructed f(R)-ghost/generalized-ghost DE, have been calculated. We show that the corresponding f(R) gravity of ghost/generalized-ghost DE model can behave like phantom or quintessence. Also the transition between deceleration to acceleration regime is indicated by deceleration parameter diagram for reconstructed f(R) generalized-ghost DE model.

In Cosmology and in Fundamental Physics there is a crucial question like: where the elusive substance that we call Dark Matter is hidden in the Universe and what is it made of? that, even after 40 years from the Vera Rubin seminal discovery [1] does not have a proper answer. Actually, the more we have investigated, the more this issue has become strongly entangled with aspects that go beyond the established Quantum Physics, the Standard Model of Elementary particles and the General Relativity and related to processes like the Inflation, the accelerated expansion of the Universe and High Energy Phenomena around compact objects. Even Quantum Gravity and very exotic Dark Matter particle candidates may play a role in framing the Dark Matter mystery that seems to be accomplice of new unknown Physics. Observations and experiments have clearly indicated that the above phenomenon cannot be considered as already theoretically framed, as hoped for decades. The Special Topic to which this review belongs wants to penetrate this newly realized mystery from different angles, including that of a contamination of different fields of Physics apparently unrelated. We show with the works of this ST that this contamination is able to guide us into the required new Physics. This review wants to provide a good number of these “paths or contamination” beyond/among the three worlds above; in most of the cases, the results presented here open a direct link with the multi-scale dark matter phenomenon, enlightening some of its important aspects. Also in the remaining cases, possible interesting contacts emerges. Finally, a very complete and accurate bibliography is provided to help the reader in navigating all these issues.
