The end of inflation is connected to the standard cosmological scenario through reheating. During reheating, the inflaton oscillates around the minimum of the potential and thus decays into the daughter particles that populate the Universe at later times. Using cosmological evolution for observable CMB scales from the time of Hubble crossing to the present time, we translate the constraint on the spectral index [Formula: see text] from Planck data to the constraint on the reheating scenario in the context of Kähler moduli inflation. We find that the equation of state parameter plays a crucial role in the reheating analysis, however the details of the one parameter potential are irrelevant if the analysis is done strictly within the slow-roll formalism. In addition, we extend the de facto analysis generally done only for the pivot scale to all the observable scales which crossed the Hubble radius during inflation, where we study how the maximum number of e-folds varies for different scales, and the effect of the equation of state and potential parameters.

By studying the chameleon model during inflation, we investigate whether it can be a successful inflationary model, wherein we employ the common typical potential usually used in the literature. Thus, in the context of the slow-roll approximations, we obtain the e-folding number for the model to verify the ability of resolving the problems of standard big bang cosmology. Meanwhile, we apply the constraints on the form of the chosen potential and also on the equation of state parameter coupled to the scalar field. However, the results of the present analysis show that there is not much chance of having the chameleonic inflation. Hence, we suggest that if through some mechanism the chameleon model can be reduced to the standard inflationary model, then it may cover the whole era of the universe from the inflation up to the late time.

By using the observational data, we show that the background geometry for both the early inflation and present accelerating universe can be quasi-de Sitter form containing cosmic fluid with equation of state [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text]. For the dynamical expanding background of the universe, we obtain the scale factor as a function of conformal time [Formula: see text] and Hankel function index [Formula: see text]. Since the background geometry of the universe is related to the index [Formula: see text], a direct relation between the geometry [Formula: see text] and the equation of state parameter [Formula: see text] will be obtained. By using this fact and the constraints on the scalar spectral index and equation of state from Planck 2015, our calculations show that the cosmic fluid of the present accelerating universe is contained with both phantom [Formula: see text] and non-phantom [Formula: see text] phases, but the cosmic gas during inflation is contained with just non-phantom [Formula: see text] phase. Also, the background geometry for both early inflation and present accelerating universe is inferred to be quasi-de Sitter form with [Formula: see text].

The reconstruction scenario of well-established dark energy models such as pilgrim dark energy model and generalized ghost dark energy with Hubble horizon and [Formula: see text] models is being considered. We have established [Formula: see text] models and analyzed their viability through equation of state parameter and [Formula: see text] (where prime denotes derivative with respect to [Formula: see text]) plane. The equation of state parameter evolutes the universe in three different phases such as quintessence, vacuum and phantom. However, the [Formula: see text] plane also describes the thawing as well as freezing region of the universe. The recent observational data also favor our results.

This paper deals with general thermodynamics for the universe filled with a perfect fluid, obeying an equation of state p = ω(z)ρ where the varying equation of the state parameter is chosen as two-index parametrization models namely: (a) linear redshift parametrization: ω(z) = ω0 + ω1z or (b) Jassal–Bagla–Padmanabhan (JBP) parametrization: [Formula: see text] where ω0, ω1 are constants. The behavior of temperature and the thermodynamic stability have been discussed. The thermal equation of state depends on both temperature and volume. As the universe evolves the fluid cools down obeying third law of thermodynamics and there will be thermodynamic stability during the expansion process without any phase transition or passing through any critical point.

Recent many physicists suggest that the dark energy in the universe might result from the Born–Infeld (B–I) type scalar field of string theory. The universe of B–I type scalar field with potential can undergo a phase of accelerating expansion. The corresponding equation of state parameter lies in the range of -1<ω<-⅓. The equation of state parameter of B–I type scalar field without potential lies in the range of 0≤ω≤1. We find that weak energy condition and strong energy condition are violated for phantom B–I type scalar field. The equation of state parameter lies in the range of ω<-1.

In this paper, we have studied and investigated the behavior of a modified holographic Ricci dark energy (DE) model interacting with pressureless dark matter (DM) under the theory of modified gravity, dubbed logarithmic f(T) gravity. We have chosen the interaction term between DE and DM in the form Q = 3γHρm and investigated the behavior of the torsion, T, the Hubble parameter, H, the equation of state parameter, ωDE, the energy density of DE, ρDE, and the energy density contribution due to torsion, ρT, as functions of the redshift, z. We have found that T increases with the redshift, z, H increases with the evolution of the universe, ωDE has a quintessence-like behavior, and both energy densities increase going from higher to lower redshifts.

A slightly different power law-scaling fits to the picture of our 13.7 billion years old flat universe which is expanding presently at 67 km/s/Mpc with an acceleration. The model which is an attempt to retain power-law scaling in the light of the accepted facts about the universe we are living in, has a constant effective equation of state parameter as the cosmic fluid is a solution of matter, radiation and dark energy. It is successful in explaining the acceleration of universe which the normal power law fails if the present Hubble parameter is 67 km/s/Mpc and age of the universe is 13.7 billion years, and it is free from the defect of singularity.

The observation that the expansion of the Universe is proceeding at an ever-increasing rate, i.e. the "dark energy" problem, constitutes a crisis in fundamental physics that is as profound as the one that preceded the advent of quantum mechanics. Cosmological observations currently favor a dark energy equation-of-state parameter w = P/ρ = -1. Awkwardly, this is the value that has the least ability to discriminate between alternatives for the physics that produces the observed accelerating expansion. If this result persists we therefore run a very real risk of stagnation in our attempt to better understand the nature of this new physics, unless we uncover another piece of the dark energy puzzle. I argue that precision fundamental measurements in space have an important role in addressing this crisis.

A time-dependent phenomenological model of Λ, viz. [Formula: see text], is selected to investigate the Λ-CDM cosmology. The time-dependent form of the equation-of-state parameter ω is derived and it has been possible to obtain the sought-for flip of sign of the deceleration parameter q. The present age of the Universe, calculated for some specific values of the parameters, agrees very well with the observational data.

AbstractIn the framework of fractal universe, the unified models of dark energy and dark matter are being presented with the background of homogenous and isotropic FLRW geometry. The aspects of fractal cosmology helps in better understanding of the universe in different dimensions. Relationship between the squared speed of the sound and the equation of state parameter is the key feature of these models. We have used constant as well as variable forms of speed of sound and express it as a function of equation of state parameter. By utilizing the four different forms of speed of sound, we construct the energy densities and pressures for these models and then various cosmological parameters like hubble parameter, EoS parameter, deceleration parameter and Om- diagnostic are investigated. Graphical analysis of these parameters show that in most of the cases EoS parameters and trajectories of Om-diagnostic corresponds to the quintessence like nature of the universe and the deceleration parameters represent accelerated and decelerated phase. In the end, we remark that cosmological analysis of these models indicates that these models correspond to different well known dark energy models.
