AbstractIn this paper, we analyze the modified $$f({\mathcal {R}})$$ f ( R ) gravity models in Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) background. The actions of bouncing cosmology are studied under consideration of different viable models in $$f({\mathcal {R}})$$ f ( R ) gravity theory that can resolve the difficulty of singularity in standard Big-Bang cosmology. Under different viable models in $$f({\mathcal {R}})$$ f ( R ) gravity theory, the cosmological constraints are plotted in provisions of cosmic-time, then investigated the bounce circumstance. In addition, the red-shift parameter is used to reconstruct the modified gravity, and compile the cosmological parameters that infer accelerated universe expansion. Finally, the situation stability is evaluated with a sound speed feature, which illustrates late-time stability.

In this paper, we study [Formula: see text] gravity by Hu–Sawicki model in Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) background. The Friedmann equations are calculated by modified gravity action, and then the obtained Friedmann equations are written in terms of standard Friedmann equations. Next, the behavior of bouncing cosmology is investigated in the modified gravity model, i.e. this behavior can solve the problem of nonsingularity in standard big bang cosmology. We plot the cosmological parameters in terms of cosmic time and then the bouncing condition is investigated. In what follows, we reconstruct the modified gravity by redshift parameter, and also graphs of cosmological parameters are plotted in terms of redshift, in which the figures show us an accelerated expansion of universe. Finally, the stability of the scenario is investigated by a function as sound speed, and the graph of sound speed versus redshift shows us that there is the stability in late-time.

Aims. The Galileon theory belongs to the class of modified gravity models that can explain the late-time accelerated expansion of the Universe. In previous works, cosmological constraints on the Galileon model were derived, both in the uncoupled case and with a disformal coupling of the Galileon field to matter. There, we showed that these models agree with the most recent cosmological data. In this work, we used updated cosmological data sets to derive new constraints on Galileon models, including the case of a constant conformal Galileon coupling to matter. We also explored the tracker solution of the uncoupled Galileon model. Methods. After updating our data sets, especially with the latest Planck data and baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements, we fitted the cosmological parameters of the ΛCDM and Galileon models. The same analysis framework as in our previous papers was used to derive cosmological constraints, using precise measurements of cosmological distances and of the cosmic structure growth rate. Results. We show that all tested Galileon models are as compatible with cosmological data as the ΛCDM model. This means that present cosmological data are not accurate enough to distinguish clearly between the two theories. Among the different Galileon models, we find that a conformal coupling is not favoured, contrary to the disformal coupling which is preferred at the 2.3σ level over the uncoupled case. The tracker solution of the uncoupled Galileon model is also highly disfavoured owing to large tensions with supernovae and Planck+BAO data. However, outside of the tracker solution, the general uncoupled Galileon model, as well as the general disformally coupled Galileon model, remain the most promising Galileon scenarios to confront with future cosmological data. Finally, we also discuss constraints coming from the Lunar Laser Ranging experiment and gravitational wave speed of propagation.

ABSTRACT We focus on viable f(T) teleparallel cosmological models, namely power law, exponential, and square-root exponential, carrying out a detailed study of their evolution at all scales. Indeed, these models were extensively analysed in the light of late time measurements, while it is possible to find only upper limits looking at the very early time behaviour, i.e. satisfying the big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) data on primordial abundance of 4He. Starting from these indications, we perform our analysis considering both background and linear perturbations evolution and constrain, beyond the standard six cosmological parameters, the free parameters of f(T) models in both cases whether the BBN consistency relation is considered or not. We use a combination of Cosmic Microwave Background, Baryon Acoustic Oscillation, Supernovae Ia and galaxy clustering measurements, and find that very narrow constraints on the free parameters of specific f(T) cosmology can be obtained, beyond any previous precision. While no degeneration is found between the helium fraction, YP, and the free parameter of f(T), we note that these models constrain the current Hubble parameter, H0, higher extent than the standard model one, fully compatible with the Riess et al. measurement in the case of power-law f(T) model. Moreover, the free parameters are constrained at non-zero values in more than 3-σ, showing a preference of the observations for extended gravity models.

In view of late-time cosmic acceleration, a dark energy cosmological model is revisited wherein Einstein’s cosmological constant is considered as a candidate of dark energy. Exact solution of Einstein field equations (EFEs) is derived in a homogeneous isotropic background in classical general relativity. The solution procedure is adopted in a model-independent way (or the cosmological parametrization). A simple parametrization of the Hubble parameter (H) as a function of cosmic time t is considered which yields an exponential type of evolution of the scale factor (a) and also shows a negative value of deceleration parameter at the present time with a signature flip from early deceleration to late acceleration. Cosmological dynamics of the model obtained have been discussed illustratively for different phases of the evolution of the universe. The evolution of different cosmological parameters is shown graphically for flat and closed cases of Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) spacetime for the presented model (open case is incompatible to the present scenario). We have also constrained our model parameters with the updated (36 points) observational Hubble dataset.

AbstractThis paper studies the cosmology of accelerating expansion of the universe in modified teleparallel gravity theory. We discuss the cosmology of f(T, B) gravity theory and its implication to the new general form of the equation of state parameter wTB for explaining the late-time accelerating expansion of the universe without the need for the cosmological constant scenario. We examine the numerical value of wTB in different paradigmatic f(T, B) gravity models. In those models, the numerical result of wTB is favored with observations in the presence of the torsion scalar T associated with a boundary term B and shows the accelerating expansion of the universe.

ABSTRACT A new bound dark energy (BDE) cosmology has been proposed where the dark energy is the binding energy between light meson fields that condense a few tens of years after the big bang. It is reported that the correct dark energy density emerges using particle physics without fine-tuning. This alone makes the BDE cosmology worthy of further investigation. This work looks at the late-time BDE predictions of the evolution of cosmological parameters and the values of fundamental constants to determine whether the cosmology’s predictions are consistent with observation. The work considers the time period between a scale factor of 0.1 and 1.0. A model BDE cosmology is considered with current-day values of the cosmological parameters well within the observational limits. The calculations use three different values of the current-day dark energy equation of state close to −1. All three cases produce evolutions of the cosmological parameters and fundamental constants consistent with the observational constraints. Analytic relations between the BDE and cosmological parameters are developed to insure a consistent set of parameters.

Context. The key probes of the growth of a large-scale structure are its rate f and amplitude σ8. Redshift space distortions in the galaxy power spectrum allow us to measure only the combination fσ8, which can be used to constrain the standard cosmological model or alternatives. By using measurements of the galaxy-galaxy lensing cross-correlation spectrum or of the galaxy bispectrum, it is possible to break the fσ8 degeneracy and obtain separate estimates of f and σ8 from the same galaxy sample. Currently there are very few such separate measurements, but even this allows for improved constraints on cosmological models. Aims. We explore how having a larger and more precise sample of such measurements in the future could constrain further cosmological models. Methods. We considered what can be achieved by a future nominal sample that delivers an ∼1% constraint on f and σ8 separately, compared to the case with a similar precision on the combination fσ8. Results. For the six cosmological parameters of ΛCDM, we find improvements of ∼5–50% on their constraints. For modified gravity models in the Horndeski class, the improvements on these standard parameters are ∼0–15%. However, the precision on the sum of neutrino masses improves by 65% and there is a significant increase in the precision on the background and perturbation Horndeski parameters.

The objective of the present paper is to investigate an almost-pseudo-Ricci symmetric FRW spacetime with a constant Ricci scalar in a dynamic cosmological term Λ(t) and equation of state (EoS) ω(t) scenario. Several cosmological parameters are calculated in this setting and thoroughly studied, which shows that the model satisfies the late-time accelerating expansion of the universe. We also examine all of the energy conditions to check our model’s self-stability.

In this paper, we reconstruct the late-time cosmological dynamics using a purely kinematic approach. In particular, considering a divergence-free parametrization for deceleration parameter [Formula: see text], we first derive the jerk parameter [Formula: see text] and then confront it with combination of various cosmological datasets. We use the most recent observational datasets consisting of the 1048 Pantheon Supernovae Ia data points in the redshift range [Formula: see text], the 51 data points of observational Hubble parameter (OHD) measurements in the redshift range [Formula: see text], the Hubble constant [Formula: see text] (R19) and the CMB shift parameter measurements. We study the evolution of different cosmological quantities for the present model and compare it with the concordance [Formula: see text]CDM model. We find that only the combined Pantheon+OHD+R19 data shows good agreement with the [Formula: see text]CDM [Formula: see text] model within [Formula: see text] confidence region. We also find that our model successfully generates late time cosmic acceleration along with a decelerated expansion in the past.

Abstract In the present paper we examine a projectively flat spacetime solution of F(R)-gravity theory. It is seen that once we deploy projective flatness in the geometry of the spacetime, the matter field has constant energy density and isotropic pressure. We then make the condition weaker and discuss the effects of projectively harmonic spacetime geometry in F(R)-gravity theory and show that the spacetime in this case reduces to a generalised Robertson-Walker spacetime with a shear, vorticity, acceleration free perfect fluid with a specific form of expansion scalar presented in terms of the scale factor. Role of conharmonic curvature tensor in the spacetime geometry is also briefly discussed. Some analysis of the obtained results are conducted in terms of couple of F(R)-gravity models.
