AbstractWe extend the basic formalism of mimetic-metric-torsion gravity theory, in a way that the mimetic scalar field can manifest itself geometrically as the source of not just the trace mode of torsion, but its axial (or, pseudo-trace) mode as well. Specifically, we consider the mimetic field to be (i) coupled explicitly to the well-known Holst extension of the Riemann–Cartan action, and (ii) identified with the square of the associated Barbero–Immirzi field, presumably a pseudo-scalar. The conformal symmetry originally prevaling in the theory would still hold, as the associated Cartan transformations do not affect the torsion pseudo-trace, and hence the Holst term. Demanding the theory to preserve the spatial parity symmetry as well, we show a geometric unification of the cosmological dark sector, and the feasibility of a super-accelerating regime in the course of evolution of the universe. From the observational perspective, assuming the cosmological evolution profile to be very close to that for $$\varLambda $$ Λ CDM, we further illustrate a smooth crossing of the so-called phantom barrier at a low red-shift, albeit with a restricted parametric domain. Subsequently, we determine the extent of the super-acceleration by examining the evolution of the relevant torsion parameters.

In an extension of a recent work by Bayin and Cooperstock, we investigate in this paper rotational perturbations of Friedmann universes in Einstein zero mass scalar theory. We find that except in the case of "perfect dragging", the zero mass scalar field has a damping effect on the rotation of matter. One of the three cases studied here shows that the scalar field may exist only during a certain interval in the course of the evolution of the universe. The zero mass scalar field has acquired particular importance recently because of a suggestion by Weinberg and Wilczek that there should exist a pseudo-scalar boson, the so-called axion, of negligible mass. The work of Peccei and Quinn has lent further support to the idea of axions.

General Range

The generated relic gravitational waves underwent several stages of evolution of the universe such as inflation and reheating. These stages were affected on the shape of spectrum of the waves. As well known, at the end of inflation, the scalar field [Formula: see text] oscillates quickly around some point where potential [Formula: see text] has a minimum. The end of inflation stage played a crucial role on the further evolution stages of the universe because particles were created and collisions of the created particles were responsible for reheating the universe. There is a general range for the frequency of the spectrum [Formula: see text])[Formula: see text]Hz. It is shown that the reheating temperature can affect on the frequency of the spectrum as well. There is constraint on the temperature from cosmological observations based on WMAP-9 and Planck. Therefore, it is interesting to estimate allowed value of frequencies of the spectrum based on general range of reheating temperature like few MeV [Formula: see text] GeV, WMAP-9 and Planck data then compare the spectrum with sensitivity of future detectors such as LISA, BBO and ultimate-DECIGIO. The obtained results of this comparison give us some more chance for detection of the relic gravitational waves.

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.

In this paper, we discuss the dynamics of two- scalar-field cosmological models. Unlike in the situation of exponential potential, we find that there are late-time attractors in which one scalar field dominates the energy density of universe and the other one decay. We also discuss the possibility of multiple attractors model which is useful to realize the evolution of the universe from a scaling era to recent acceleration era. We also give the conditions of the existence of multiple attractors.

In this paper, we propose a new approach to study the dark sector of the universe by considering the dark energy as an emergingq-deformed bosonic scalar field which is not only interacting with the dark matter, but also nonminimally coupled to gravity, in the framework of standard Einsteinian gravity. In order to analyze the dynamic of the system, we first give the quantum field theoretical description of theq-deformed scalar field dark energy and then construct the action and the dynamical structure of this interacting and nonminimally coupled dark sector. As a second issue, we perform the phase-space analysis of the model to check the reliability of our proposal by searching the stable attractor solutions implying the late-time accelerating expansion phase of the universe.

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 point out an important role of conformal invariant observables in the formulation of quantum cosmology with a normalizable wave function which bears a direct relationship to the Friedmann observational evolution of the Universe (with redshift and Hubble law). Conformal invariant field variables allow us to establish relation between standard cosmological models and quantum field theory actions. The conformal symmetry principle excludes the Higgs potential from the Weinberg–Salam model and includes the Penrose–Chernikov–Tagirov term. In the conformal version of the standard model for electroweak interaction unified with the Einstein gravity, the Higgs field is absorbed by the space metric so that the elementary particle masses and the evolution of the Universe have one and the same origin. In the flat-space limit we got the σ-version of the Weinberg–Salam model without the Higgs particle-like excitations.

In this communication, we study non-minimal massive Stueckelberg QED for the evolution of the universe in the presence of non-minimal kinetic coupling to itself and to the curvature and where massive photons in the theory are of the order of the Hubble parameter or ultralight mass. By adopting the idea that the gauge vector field depends on the Hubble parameter, we observe that the universe is undergoing accelerated expansion with time and is dominated by quintessence, a decaying scalar field, and ultra-light massive photons. The existence of massive photons or massive particles of light is therefore able to explain the current acceleration of the quintessential universe in the absence of a cosmological constant.

A theory of gravitation with a conformally coupled scalar field is considered in which the gravitational “constant” is associated with the vacuum expectation value of the scalar field. It is found that the universe will remain dominated by classical radiation unless the conformal symmetry is broken. The equations of motion thus derived bear a de Sitter phase solution, which could have an exponential growth of the cosmic scale factor with no vacuum energy. We discuss the cosmological implications of this kind of “inflation”. We also find that in the present theory the smallness of the vacuum energy for most time of the universe is due to the constancy of the gravitational “constant”.

AbstractThe influence of non-minimal coupling of a scalar field and the Gauss–Bonnet term on the inflationary stage of evolution of the universe is investigated in this paper. The main cosmological effects of such a coupling were considered. The deviations between Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet inflation and standard one based on Einstein gravity were determined. The corrections of a weak GB coupling preserving the type of the scalar field potential to standard inflationary models is considered as well.
