AbstractIt is investigated the cosmological dynamics of scalar-torsion $$f(T,\phi )$$ f ( T , ϕ ) gravity as a dark energy model, where T is the torsion scalar of teleparallel gravity and $$\phi $$ ϕ is a canonical scalar field. In this context, we are concerned with the phenomenology of the class of models with non-linear coupling to gravity and exponential potential. We obtain the critical points of the autonomous system, along with the stability conditions of each one of them and their cosmological properties. Particularly, we show the existence of new attractors with accelerated expansion, as well as, new scaling solutions in which the energy density of dark energy scales as the background fluid density, thus, defining the so-called scaling radiation and scaling matter epochs. The scaling solutions are saddle points, and therefore, the system exits these solutions to the current epoch of cosmic acceleration, towards an attractor point describing the dark energy-dominated era.

In this paper, the model of interaction is studied between f(T, [Formula: see text]) gravity and modified Chaplygin gas in Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW)-flat metric. We obtain the Friedmann equations in the framework of teleparallel gravity by vierbein field. We consider that the Universe is dominated by components of cold matter, dark energy, and modified Chaplygin gas. In what follows we separately write the corresponding continuity equations for components of the Universe. Also, dark energy equation of state (EoS) and effective EoS are obtained with respect to redshift, thereinafter the corresponding cosmological parameters are plotted in terms of redshift, thereinafter the accelerated expansion of the Universe is investigated. Finally, the stability of the model is discussed in phase plane analysis.

The impact of anisotropy on the Ricci dark energy cosmologies is investigated where it is assumed that the geometry of the universe is described by Bianchi type I (BI) metric. The main goal is to determine the astrophysical constraints on the model by using the current available data as type Ia supernovae (SNIa), the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO), and the Hubble parameter [Formula: see text] data. In this regard, a maximum likelihood method is applied to constrain the cosmological parameters. Combining the data, it is found out that the allowed range for the density parameter of the model stands in [Formula: see text]. With the help of the Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) sample, we estimate the possible dipole anisotropy of the Ricci dark energy model. Then, by using a standard [Formula: see text] minimization method, it is realized that the transition epoch from early decelerated to current accelerated expansion occurs faster in Ricci dark energy model than [Formula: see text]CDM model. The results indicate that the BI model for the Ricci dark energy is consistent with the observational data.

In this paper, we have investigated the stability of General Relativistic Hydrodynamics (GRHD) model in a Friedmann–Robertson–Walker space-time with the volumetric power law in teleparallel gravity. The basic equations are derived along with its thermodynamical aspects. Thermodynamic temperature and entropy density of the model are also obtained. The state finder diagnostic pair and jerk parameter are analyzed to characterize different phases of the universe and the well-known astrophysical phenomena such as look-back time, the luminosity distance with redshift are derived. The model shows an accelerated expansion with inflationary era in the early and the very late time of the cosmic evolution. The GRHD model is stable at the early phases of the universe and is unstable at late times.

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.

The dynamical aspects of scaling solutions for the dark energy component in the theoretical framework of teleparallel gravity are considered, where dark energy is represented by a scalar field nonminimally coupled with the torsion and with a boundary term, where the boundary coupling term represents the divergence of the torsion vector. The behavior and stability of the scaling solutions are studied for scalar fields endowed with inverse power law potentials and with exponential potentials. It is shown that for scalar fields endowed with inverse power-law potentials, the stability conditions are not affected by the coupling coefficients. For the scalar fields endowed with exponential potentials, two cases are studied: at first, we have considered an infinitesimal deviation from the scaling solution in the corresponding Klein–Gordon equation, and the impact of distinct coupling coefficients on the stability of the solution are analyzed. Secondly, the potential-free case is considered where the dominance of the coupling terms over the potential term is analyzed, discussing the validity of the corresponding particular solution.

The problem of the cosmic acceleration is here revisited by using the fact that the adiabatic speed of sound can be assumed to be negligible small. Within the context of general relativity, the total energy budget is recovered under the hypothesis of a vanishing speed of sound by assuming the existence of one fluid only. We find a cosmological model which reproduces the main results of the ΛCDM paradigm at late-times, showing an emergent cosmological constant, which is not at all related with the vacuum energy term. As a consequence, the model presented here behaves as a unified dark energy (DE) model.

We discuss the late-time property of universe and phantom field in the SO(1, 1) dark energy model for the potential V = V0e-βΦα with α and β two positive constants. We assume in advance some conditions satisfied by the late-time field to simplify equations, which are confirmed to be correct from the eventual results. For α < 2, the field falls exponentially off and the phantom equation of state rapidly approaches -1. When α = 2, the kinetic energy ρk and the coupling energy ρc become comparable but there is always ρk < -ρc so that the phantom property of field proceeds to hold. The analysis on the perturbation to the late-time field Φ illustrates the square effective mass of the perturbation field is always positive and thus the phantom is stable. The universe considered currently may evade the future sudden singularity and will evolve to de Sitter expansion phase.

The present-day accelerated expansion of the universe is naturally addressed within the Brans–Dicke theory just by using holographic dark energy model with inverse of Hubble scale as IR cutoff and power law temporal behavior of scale factor. It is also concluded that if the universe continues to expand, then one day it might be completely filled with dark energy.

Although equivalent to general relativity, teleparallel gravity (TG) is conceptually speaking a completely different theory. In this theory, the gravitational field is described by torsion, not by curvature. By working in this context, a new model is proposed in which the four-derivative of a canonical scalar field representing dark energy is nonminimally coupled to the “vector torsion”. This type of coupling is motivated by the fact that a scalar field couples to torsion through its four-derivative, which is consistent with local spacetime kinematics regulated by the de Sitter group [Formula: see text]. It is found that the current state of accelerated expansion of the universe corresponds to a late-time attractor that can be (i) a dark energy-dominated de Sitter solution ([Formula: see text]), (ii) a quintessence-type solution with [Formula: see text], or (iii) a phantom-type [Formula: see text] dark energy.
