In this study, we discuss string cosmology with solitonic NS–NS matter, which arises when dilaton coupled p-brane gas dominates the universe and is subject to a fractional action motivated from viscosity dissipative effects occurring in the universe. Exact solutions are found from the stationary conditions of the fractional action. It was observed that the universe is non-singular, undergoing accelerated expansion in time and may not be dominated by dark energy because it is strongly affected by dissipations through the fractional parameter α. The numerical ranges of α were obtained using H(z) at the 1σ level for two independent cases: a vacuum energy dominated energy and a non-dominant vacuum energy universe. Our results are in agreement with astronomical observational limits and support both string cosmology and the fractional action cosmology.

The contribution of vacuum fluctuations to the cosmological constant is reconsidered studying the dependence on the used regularisation scheme. Then alternative explanations for the observed accelerated expansion of the universe in the present epoch are introduced which either modify gravity or add a new component of matter, dubbed dark energy. The chapter closes with some comments on attempts to quantise gravity.

The accelerated expansion of the Universe is one of the main discoveries of the past decades, indicating the presence of an unknown component: the dark energy. Evidence of its presence is being gathered by a succession of observational experiments with increasing precision in its measurements. However, the most accepted model for explaining the dynamic of our Universe, the so-called Lambda cold dark matter, faces several problems related to the nature of such energy component. This has led to a growing exploration of alternative models attempting to solve those drawbacks. In this review, we briefly summarize the characteristics of a (non-exhaustive) list of dark energy models as well as some of the most used cosmological samples. Next, we discuss how to constrain each model’s parameters using observational data. Finally, we summarize the status of dark energy modeling.

It is shown that the Lambda component in the cosmological Lambda-CDM model can be conceived as vacuum energy, consisting of gravitational particles subject to Heisenberg’s energy-time uncertainty. These particles can be modelled as elementary polarisable Dirac-type dipoles (“darks”) in a fluidal space at thermodynamic equilibrium, with spins that are subject to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. Around the baryonic kernels, uniformly distributed in the universe, the spins are polarized, thereby invoking an increase of the effective gravitational strength of the kernels. It explains the dark matter effect to the extent that the numerical value of Milgrom’s acceleration constant can be assessed by theory. Non-polarized vacuum particles beyond the baryonic kernels compose the dark energy. The result is a quantum mechanical interpretation of gravity in terms of quantitatively established shares in baryonic matter, dark matter and dark energy, which correspond with the values of the Lambda-CDM model..

We present a string-based picture of the cosmological evolution in which (CP-violating) gravitational anomalies acting during the inflationary phase of the universe cause the vacuum energy density to “run” with the effective Hubble parameter squared, [Formula: see text], thanks to the axion field of the bosonic string multiplet. This leads to baryogenesis through leptogenesis with massive right-handed neutrinos. The generation of chiral matter after inflation helps in cancelling the anomalies in the observable radiation- and matter-dominated eras. The present era inherits the same “running vacuum” structure triggered during the inflationary time by the axion field. The current dark energy is thus predicted to be mildly dynamical, and dark matter should be made of axions. Paraphrasing Carl Sagan [ https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/10538.Carl_Sagan .]: we are all anomalously made from starstuff.

In this paper, we first obtain the energy density by the approach of the new agegraphic dark energy model, and then the [Formula: see text] gravity model is studied as an alternative to the dark energy in a viscous fluid by flat-FRW background, in which [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are torsion scalar and boundary term. The Friedmann equations will be obtained in the framework of modified teleparallel gravity by tetrad components. We consider that the universe dominates with components such as matter and dark energy by an interacting model. The Hubble parameter is parameterized by the power-law for the scale factor, and then we fit the corresponding Hubble parameter with observational data constraints. The variation of the equation of state (EoS) for dark energy is plotted as a function of the redshift parameter, and the accelerated expansion of the universe is explored. In what follows, the stability of the model is also studied on the base of the sound speed parameter. Finally, the generalized second law of thermodynamics is investigated by entropies of inside and on the boundary of the apparent horizon in thermodynamics equilibrium.

We discuss the cosmological implications of interacting pilgrim dark energy (PDE) models (with Hubble, Granda–Oliveros and generalized ghost cutoffs) with cold dark matter ([Formula: see text]CDM) in fractal cosmology by assuming the flat universe. We observe that the Hubble parameter lies within observational suggested ranges while deceleration parameter represents the accelerated expansion behavior of the universe. The equation of state (EoS) parameter ([Formula: see text]) corresponds to the quintessence region and phantom region for different cases of [Formula: see text]. Further, we can see that [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] (where prime indicates the derivative with respect to natural logarithmic of scale factor) plane describes the freezing and thawing regions and also corresponds to [Formula: see text] limit for some cases of [Formula: see text] (PDE parameter). It is also noted that the [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] (state-finder parameters) plane corresponds to [Formula: see text] limit and also shows the Chaplygin as well as phantom/quintessence behavior. It is observed that pilgrim dark energy models in fractal cosmology expressed the consistent behavior with recent observational schemes.

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.

Vacuum and dark energy energy problems are reviewed. Cosmology with non-zero vacuum energy is discussed. The astronomical data which indicate that the universe is filled with an anti-gravitating state of matter are described. The mechanisms which may lead to cancellation of almost infinite vacuum energy down to the astronomically observed value are enumerated with an emphasis to dynamical adjustment.

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.
