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.

We consider a generalized scalar–tensor theory, where we let the coupling function ω(ϕ) and the effective cosmological constants Λ(ϕ) be undetermined. We obtain general expressions for ω(ϕ) and Λ(ϕ) in terms of the scalar field and the scale factor, and show that ω(ϕ) depends on the scalar field and the scale factor in a complicated way. In order to study the conditions for an accelerated expansion at the present time and a decelerated expansion in the past, we assume a power law evolution for the scalar field and the scale factor. We analyze the required conditions that allow our model to satisfy the weak field limits on ω(ϕ), and at the same time, to obtain the correct values of cosmological parameters, as the energy density Ωm0 and cosmological constant Λ(t0). We also study the conditions for a decelerated expansion at an early time dominated by radiation. We find values for ω(ϕ) and Λ(ϕ) consistent with the expectations of a where the cosmological constant decreases with the time and the coupling function increases until the values are accepted today.

In this paper, we study the corrections to the Friedmann equations due to fast fluctuations in the universe scale factor. Such fast quantum fluctuations were recently proposed as a potential solution to the cosmological constant problem. They also induce strong changes to the current sign and magnitude of the average cosmological force, thus making them one of the potential probable causes of the modification of Newtonian dynamics in galaxy-scale systems. It appears that quantum fluctuations in the scale factor also modify the Friedmann equations, leading to a considerable modification of cosmological evolution. In particular, they give rise to the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe, and they may also considerably modify the effective universe potential.

In this paper, we have investigated the anisotropic behavior of the accelerating universe in Bianchi V spacetime in the framework of General Relativity (GR). The matter field we have considered is of two non-interacting fluids, i.e. the usual string fluid and dark energy (DE) fluid. In order to represent the pressure anisotropy, the skewness parameters are introduced along three different spatial directions. To achieve a physically realistic solutions to the field equations, we have considered a scale factor, known as hybrid scale factor, which is generated by a time-varying deceleration parameter. This simulates a cosmic transition from early deceleration to late time acceleration. It is observed that the string fluid dominates the universe at early deceleration phase but does not affect nature of cosmic dynamics substantially at late phase, whereas the DE fluid dominates the universe in present time, which is in accordance with the observations results. Hence, we analyzed here the role of two fluids in the transitional phases of universe with respect to time which depicts the reason behind the cosmic expansion and DE. The role of DE with variable equation of state parameter (EoS) and skewness parameters, is also discussed along with physical and geometrical properties.

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.

In this paper, spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-[Formula: see text] dark energy (DE) cosmological transit models with string fluid source in [Formula: see text] gravity [T. Harko et al., Phys. Rev. D 84 (2011) 024020], where [Formula: see text] is the Ricci scalar and [Formula: see text] the trace of the stress energy–momentum tensor, have been studied in the context of early time decelerating and late-time accelerating expansion of the Universe as suggested by the recent observations. The exact solutions of the field equations are obtained first by using generalized hybrid expansion law (HEL) [Formula: see text] which yields a time-dependent deceleration parameter [Formula: see text] and second by considering the metric coefficient [Formula: see text]. By using recent constraints from supernovae type-Ia union data [Cunha, arXiv:0811.2379[astro-ph]], we obtain [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for transit model [Formula: see text]. The Universe has an initial singularity and is anisotropic closed and it tends to be flat at the late time, i.e. our Universe is in accelerating expansion. Our model shows a phase transition property from decelerating to accelerating. It is remarkable to mention here that our Universe is homogeneous and anisotropic in the early phase whereas it becomes homogeneous and isotropic for [Formula: see text]. We have also discussed the stability of the background solution with respect to perturbations of the metric along with the properties of future singularities in the Universe dominated by DE including the phantom-type fluid. Various physical and dynamical parameters are also calculated and investigated in terms of time and redshift both.

In this paper, we have investigated the five-dimensional Kaluza–Klein space time with wet dark fluid (WDF), which is a candidate for dark energy (DE), in the framework of f(R, T) gravity. R and T denote the Ricci scalar and the trace of the energy–momentum tensor, respectively (Harko et al. Phys. Rev. D, 84, 024020 (2011)). We have used equation of state in the form of WDF for the DE component of the universe. It is modeled on the equation of state p = ω(ρ – ρ*). With the help of the power law and exponential law of volumetric expansion, we have derived the exact solutions of the corresponding field equations. 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 very late time of the universe. It is concluded that the model obtained here shows that even in the presence of WDF, the universe indicates accelerated expansion of the universe.

We consider a gravitational theory including a Dirac field that is nonminimally coupled to gravity in 2 + 1 dimensions. Noether gauge symmetry approach can be used to fix the form of coupling functionF(Ψ)and the potentialV(Ψ)of the Dirac field and to obtain a constant of motion for the dynamical equations. In the context of (2 + 1)-dimensional gravity, we investigate cosmological solutions of the field equations using these forms obtained by the existence of Noether gauge symmetry. In this picture, it is shown that, for the nonminimal coupling case, the cosmological solutions indicate both an early-time inflation and late-time acceleration for the universe.

Abstract The Buoyancy-Drag model is a simple model, based on ordinary differential equations, for estimating the growth in the width of a turbulent mixing zone at an interface between fluids of different densities due to Richtmyer–Meshkov and Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities. The model is calibrated to give the required self-similar behavior for mixing in simple situations. However, the early stages of the mixing process are very dependent on the initial conditions and modifications to the Buoyancy-Drag model are then needed to obtain correct results. In a recent paper, Thornber et al. (2017, “Late-Time Growth Rate, Mixing, and Anisotropy in the Multimode Narrowband Richtmyer–Meshkov Instability: The θ-Group Collaboration,” Phys. Fluids, 29, p. 105107), a range of three-dimensional simulation techniques was used to calculate the evolution of the mixing zone integral width due to single-shock Richtmyer–Meshkov mixing from narrowband initial random perturbations. Further analysis of the results of these simulations gives greater insight into the transition from the initial linear behavior to late-time self-similar mixing and provides a way of modifying the Buoyancy-Drag model to treat the initial conditions accurately. Higher-resolution simulations are used to calculate the early time behavior more accurately and compare with a multimode model based on the impulsive linear theory. The analysis of the iLES data also gives a new method for estimating the growth exponent, θ (mixing zone width ∼ tθ), which is suitable for simulations which do not fully reach the self-similar state. The estimates of θ are consistent with the theoretical model of Elbaz and Shvarts (2018, “Modal Model Mean Field Self-Similar Solutions to the Asymptotic Evolution of Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov Instabilities and Its Dependence on the Initial Conditions,” Phys. Plasmas, 25, p. 062126).

Neumann Model

Wheeler (1964) had formulated Mach’s principle as the boundary condition for general relativistic field equations. Here, we use this idea and develop a modified dynamical model of cosmology based on imposing Neumann boundary condition on cosmological perturbation equations. Then, it is shown that a new term appears in the equation of motion, which leads to a modified Poisson equation. In addition, a modified Hubble parameter is derived due to the presence of the new term. Moreover, it is proved that, without a cosmological constant, such a model has a late time-accelerated expansion with an equation of state converging to w < − 1 . Also, the luminosity distance in the present model is shown to differ from that of the Λ C D M model at high redshifts. Furthermore, it is found that the adiabatic sound speed squared is positive in radiation-dominated era and then converges to zero at later times. Theoretical implications of the Neumann boundary condition have been discussed, and it is shown that, by fixing the value of the conjugate momentum (under certain conditions), one could derive a similar version of modified dynamics. In a future work, we will confine the free parameters of the Neumann model based on hype Ia Supernovae, Hubble parameter data, and the age of the oldest stars.
