AbstractWe test a four dimensional cosmological model embedded in a five dimensional bulk space by means of the dynamical Nash-Greene theorem. In a fluid approach, we apply a joint likelihood analysis to the data with the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method for cosmological parameter estimation. We use recent datasets as the “Gold 2018” growth-rate data, the Planck2018/$$\varLambda $$ Λ CDM data on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, the Baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) measurements, the Pantheon Supernovae type Ia and the data on the Hubble parameter H(z) with redshift ranging from $$0.01< z < 2.3$$ 0.01 < z < 2.3 . Performing the Information Criterion (IC) analysis, we find that the present model is in very good agreement with observations with a close statistical equivalence with wCDM cosmologies at 1-$$\sigma $$ σ level with a slightly larger growth profiles. By modifications of () code, we make a comparison between the models on their unlensed CMB TT temperature spectra. Moreover, the proposed model presents a low power spectrum by the reduction of the ISW effect at lower multipoles. We also find that the overall percentage relative difference of the growth index $$\varDelta \gamma (\%)$$ Δ γ ( % ) is up to 1.4$$\%$$ % as compared to wCDM pattern in sub-horizon scales.

AbstractUsing a joint statistical analysis, we test a four-dimensional FLRW model embedded in a five-dimensional bulk based on the Nash-Greene embedding theorem. Performing a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) modelling, we combine observational data sets as those of the recent growth data, the best-fit Planck2018/$$\varLambda $$ Λ CDM parameters on the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) measurements, the Pantheon Supernovae type Ia and the Hubble parameter data. From linear Nash-Greene fluctuations of the metric, we show the related perturbed equations in longitudinal Newtonian gauge to obtain the evolution of growth matter. A mild alleviation may be obtained from the degeneracies on the model parameter analyzing the $$\sigma $$ σ tension between the growth amplitude factor and the matter content in the plane $$(\sigma _8$$ ( σ 8 -$$\varOmega _m)$$ Ω m ) on the observations from CMB and Large Scale Structure (LSS) probes. The Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) is also applied and we find a relative statistical consistence of the present model with both $$\varLambda $$ Λ CDM and wCDM models lower than 1$$\%$$ % of percentage difference at early times on the evolution of the Hubble function H(z). We also apply the Om(z) diagnosis to distinguish the present model from $$\varLambda $$ Λ CDM and wCDM models.

We re-examine the growth index of the concordance Λ cosmology in the light of the latest 6dF and WiggleZ data. In particular, we investigate five different models for the growth index γ, by comparing their cosmological evolution using observational data of the growth rate of structure formation at different redshifts. Performing a joint likelihood analysis of the recent supernovae type Ia data, the Cosmic Microwave Background shift parameter, Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations and the growth rate data, we determine the free parameters of the γ(z) parametrizations and we statistically quantify their ability to represent the observations. We find that the addition of the 6dF and WiggleZ growth data in the likelihood analysis improves significantly the statistical results. As an example, considering a constant growth index we find Ωm0 = 0.273 ± 0.011 and [Formula: see text].

We investigate the cosmological constraints on the variable modified Chaplygin gas (VMCG) model from the latest observational data: Union2 dataset of Type Ia supernovae (SNIa), the observational Hubble data (OHD), the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. By using the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, we obtain the mean values of parameters in the flat model: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, we investigate the thermodynamical properties of VMCG model at apparent horizon, event horizon and particle horizon respectively.

In this paper, we have considered a spatially flat FRW universe filled with pressureless matter and dark energy (DE). We have considered a phenomenological parametrization of the deceleration parameter [Formula: see text] and from this, we have reconstructed the equation-of-state (EoS) for DE [Formula: see text]. This divergence-free parametrization of the deceleration parameter is inspired from one of the most popular parametrization of the DE EoS given by Barboza and Alcaniz [see E. M. Barboza and J. S. Alcaniz, Phys. Lett. B 666 (2008) 415]. Using the combination of datasets (Type Ia Supernova (SN Ia) + Hubble + baryonic acoustic oscillations/cosmic microwave background (BAO/CMB)), we have constrained the transition redshift [Formula: see text] (at which the universe switches from a decelerating to an accelerating phase) and have found the best fit value of [Formula: see text]. We have also compared the reconstructed results of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and have found that the results are compatible with a [Formula: see text]CDM universe if we consider SN Ia + Hubble data, but inclusion of BAO/CMB data makes [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] incompatible with [Formula: see text]CDM model. The potential term for the present toy model is found to be functionally similar to a Higgs potential.

AbstractTo investigate whether f(R) gravity can relieve current $$H_0$$ H 0 and $$\sigma _8$$ σ 8 tensions, we constrain the Hu-Sawicki f(R) gravity with Planck-2018 cosmic microwave background and redshift space distortions observations. We find that this model fails to relieve both $$H_0$$ H 0 and $$\sigma _8$$ σ 8 tensions, and that its two typical parameters $$\log _{10}f_{R0}$$ log 10 f R 0 and n are insensitive to other cosmological parameters. Combining the cosmic microwave background, baryon acoustic oscillations, Type Ia supernovae, cosmic chronometers with redshift space distortions observations, we give our best constraint $$\log _{10}f_{R0}<-6.75$$ log 10 f R 0 < - 6.75 at the $$2\sigma $$ 2 σ confidence level.

We study the observational constraints on the Phantom Crossing DGP model. We demonstrate that the crossing of the phantom divide does not occur within the framework of the original Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati (DGP) model or the DGP model developed by Dvali and Turner. By extending their model in the framework of an extra dimension scenario, we study a model that realizes crossing of the phantom divide. We investigate the cosmological constraints obtained from the recent observational data of Type Ia supernovae, cosmic microwave background anisotropies, and baryon acoustic oscillations. The best-fit values of the parameters with 1σ (68%) errors for the Phantom Crossing DGP model are [Formula: see text]. We find that the Phantom Crossing DGP model is more compatible with the observations than the original DGP model or the DGP model developed by Dvali and Turner. Our model can realize late-time acceleration of the universe, similar to that of ΛCDM model, without dark energy due to the effect of DGP gravity. In our model, the crossing of the phantom divide occurs at a redshift of z ~ 0.2.

In this paper, a holographic dark energy model, dubbed Ricci dark energy, is confronted with cosmological observational data from type Ia Supernovae (SN Ia), baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and cosmic microwave background (CMB). By using maximum likelihood method, we found that Ricci dark energy model is a viable candidate of dark energy model with the best fit parameters: Ωm0 = 0.34 ± 0.04, α = 0.38 ± 0.03 with 1σ error. Here, α is a dimensionless parameter related to Ricci dark energy ρR and Ricci scalar R, i.e. ρR ∝ αR.

Constraints on a parametrized deceleration parameter, q(a) = q0+ q1(1 - a), are investigated using cosmological observations of type Ia supernovae (SN Ia), baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs) and cosmic microwave background (CMB) and observational Hubble data (OHD) which correspond to the cosmological distance measure. When a high redshift dataset of CMB is added in the SN + BAO + OHD case, a stronger constraint is obtained than for the lower redshift case, SN + BAO + OHD. The evolutions of the deceleration and Hubble parameters with respect to redshift z are reconstructed from cosmic observations. With cosmic observations as constraints, it is found that a smaller current deceleration parameter and a larger transition redshift are obtained in the SN + BAO + OHD case than in the SN + BAO + OHD + CMB case. In the SN + BAO + OHD + CMB case, slightly larger Hubble parameter values will be obtained than in the SN + BAO + OHD case.

Cosmological models, stemming from the extension of the “special relativity (SR) with a privileged frame” to general relativity (GR), are developed and fitted to the observational data. The framework termed “SR with a privileged frame” incorporates the privileged frame into SR while retaining the fundamental spacetime symmetry which, in the standard SR, manifests itself as Lorentz invariance. The correspondingly modified GR, like the standard GR, is based on the equivalence principle but with the properly modified spacetime local symmetry in which an invariant combination differs from the Minkowski interval of the standard SR. Applying the modified GR to cosmology yields the luminosity distance — redshift relation corrected such that the observed deceleration parameter can be negative as it is obtained from the data for Type Ia supernovae. Thus, the observed negative values of the deceleration parameter can be explained within the matter-dominated Friedman–Robertson–Walker (FRW) cosmological model of the universe without introducing the dark energy. A number of other observations, such as Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and Cosmic Microwave Background, also can be well fit to the cosmological model arising from the GR based on the SR with a privileged frame.
