We consider a cosmology with decaying metastable dark energy and assume that a decay process of this metastable dark energy is a quantum decay process. Such an assumption implies among others that the evolution of the Universe is irreversible and violates the time reversal symmetry. We show that if we replace the cosmological time t appearing in the equation describing the evolution of the Universe by the Hubble cosmological scale time, then we obtain time dependent Λ(t) in the form of the series of even powers of the Hubble parameter H: Λ(t)=Λ(H). Our special attention is focused on radioactive-like exponential form of the decay process of the dark energy and on the consequences of this type decay.

ABSTRACT Unified cosmological models have received a lot of attention in astrophysics community for explaining both the dark matter and dark energy evolution. The Chaplygin cosmologies, a well-known name in this group have been investigated matched with observations from different sources. Obviously, Chaplygin cosmologies have to obey restrictions in order to be consistent with the observational data. As a consequence, alternative unified models, differing from Chaplygin model, are of special interest. In the present work, we consider a specific example of such a unified cosmological model, that is quantified by only a single parameter μ, that can be considered as a minimal extension of the Λ-cold dark matter cosmology. We investigate its observational boundaries together with an analysis of the universe at large scale. Our study shows that at early time the model behaves like a dust, and as time evolves, it mimics a dark energy fluid depicting a clear transition from the early decelerating phase to the late cosmic accelerating phase. Finally, the model approaches the cosmological constant boundary in an asymptotic manner. We remark that for the present unified model, the estimations of H0 are slightly higher than its local estimation and thus alleviating the H0 tension.

We consider the cosmological application of a (variant of) relatively newly proposed model1 unifying inflation, dark energy, dark matter, and the Higgs mechanism. The model was originally defined using additional non-Riemannian measures, but it can be reformulated into effective quintessential model unifying inflation, dark energy and dark matter. Here, we demonstrate numerically that it is capable of describing the entire evolution of the Universe in a seamless way, but this requires some revision of the model setup. The main reason is that there is a strong effective friction in the model, a feature which has been neglected in the pioneer work. This improves the model potential for proper description of the evolution of the Universe, because the friction ensures a finite time inflation with dynamically maintained low-value slow-roll parameters in the realistic scenarios. In addition, the model predicts the existence of a constant scalar field in late Universe.

Interactions inside the cosmological dark sector influence the cosmological dynamics. As a consequence, the future evolution of the Universe may be different from that predicted by the ΛCDM model. We review main features of several recently studied models with nongravitational couplings between dark matter and dark energy.

We assume that dark matter and dark energy satisfy the unified equation of state: p = B(z)ρ, with p = pdE, ρ = ρdm+ρdE, where the pressure of dark matter pdm = 0 has been taken into account. A special function [Formula: see text] is presented, which can well describe the evolution of the universe. In this model, the universe will end up with a Big Rip. By further simple analysis, we know other choices of the function B can also describe the universe but lead to a different doomsday.

In this paper we review a part of the approaches that have been considered to explain the extraordinary discovery of the late time acceleration of the Universe. We discuss the arguments that have led physicists and astronomers to accept dark energy as the current preferable candidate to explain the acceleration. We highlight the problems and the attempts to overcome the difficulties related to such a component. We also consider alternative theories capable of explaining the acceleration of the Universe, such as modification of gravity. We compare the two approaches and point out the observational consequences, reaching the sad but foresightful conclusion that we will not be able to distinguish between a Universe filled by dark energy or a Universe where gravity is different from General Relativity. We review the present observations and discuss the future experiments that will help us to learn more about our Universe. This is not intended to be a complete list of all the dark energy models but this paper should be seen as a review on the phenomena responsible for the acceleration. Moreover, in a landscape of hardly compelling theories, it is an important task to build simple measurable parameters useful for future experiments that will help us to understand more about the evolution of the Universe.

ABSTRACT By theorizing the physical reality through the deformation of an arbitrary cross-ratio, we leverage Galois differential theory to describe the dynamics of isomonodromic integratable system. We found a new description of curvature of spacetime by the equivalency of isomonodromic integratable system and Penrose’s spinor formalism of general relativity. Using such description, we hypothetically quantize the curvature of spacetime (gravity) and apply to the problem of the evolution of the universe. The Friedmann equation is recovered and compared so that the mathematical relationship among dark energy, matter (dark matter + ordinary matter), and ordinary matter, ΩM2≃4ΩbΩΛ, is derived; the actual observed results are compared to this equation (calculated ΩM = 0.33 vs. observed ΩM = 0.31); the model might explain the origin of dark energy and dark matter 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.

In this paper, a generalized tachyonic dark energy scenario is presented in the framework of a homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) flat universe, in which a noncanonical scalar field is coupled to gravity nonminimally. By utilizing the Noether symmetry method, we found the explicit form of both potential density and coupling function, as a function of the scalar field. It is found that the tachyon field acts as the source of inflation and accelerates the evolution of the universe in the early times considerably. While, in the late times, gravitational sources are a pressureless matter field together with the tachyon field, which is the nature of dark energy and plays an essential role in the deceleration-acceleration phase transition of the universe. Further, the role of the coefficient function of tachyon potential, alongside the potential, is considered in the evolution of the universe. It is shown that this model involves a cosmological degeneracy in the sense that different coupling parameters and tachyonic potentials may be equivalent to the same cosmological standards such as the cosmic acceleration, age, equation of state and mean Hubble of the FLRW universe. The physical characteristics of the main cosmological observables are studied in detail, which suggests that the generalized tachyon field is a remarkable dark energy candidate.

We have investigated the effects of the interaction between a brane universe and the bulk in which it is embedded. Considering the effects of the interaction between a brane universe and the bulk, we have obtained the equation of state for the interacting holographic Ricci dark energy density ρΛ=3c2(H˙+2H2) in the flat universe. We have investigated the impact of c2 on the equation of state ωΛ. Also, considering the power law for of the scale factor, we have observed that nontrivial contributions of dark energy which differ from the standard matter fields confined to the brane are increasing with the evolution of the universe.
