In this paper, we have investigated the anisotropic behavior of the accelerating universe in Bianchi V spacetime in the framework of General Relativity (GR). The matter field we have considered is of two non-interacting fluids, i.e. the usual string fluid and dark energy (DE) fluid. In order to represent the pressure anisotropy, the skewness parameters are introduced along three different spatial directions. To achieve a physically realistic solutions to the field equations, we have considered a scale factor, known as hybrid scale factor, which is generated by a time-varying deceleration parameter. This simulates a cosmic transition from early deceleration to late time acceleration. It is observed that the string fluid dominates the universe at early deceleration phase but does not affect nature of cosmic dynamics substantially at late phase, whereas the DE fluid dominates the universe in present time, which is in accordance with the observations results. Hence, we analyzed here the role of two fluids in the transitional phases of universe with respect to time which depicts the reason behind the cosmic expansion and DE. The role of DE with variable equation of state parameter (EoS) and skewness parameters, is also discussed along with physical and geometrical properties.

In this work we study a general scalar-tensor theory in which the coupling and potential functions are determined from Noether symmetry arguments. We also obtain exact solutions of the field equations and found that the universe asymptotically follows an exponential expansion having no graceful exit. The study of the functional form of ω(φ) reveals that the theory asymptotically becomes an attractor of general relativity. We restrict ourselves to spatially homogeneous, isotropic flat universe.

In 1976, Shlyakhter showed that the Sm data from Oklo results in the upper bound on the time-variability of the fine-structure constant: [Formula: see text], which has ever been the most stringent bound. Since the details have never been published, however, we recently re-analyzed the latest data according to Shlyakhter's recipe. We nearly re-confirmed his results. To be more precise, however, the Sm data gives either an upper-bound or an evidence for a changing [Formula: see text]. A remark is made to a similar re-analysis due to Damour and Dyson. We also compare our result with a recent "evidence" due to Webb et al, obtained from distant QSO's. We point out a possible connection between this time-dependence and the behavior of a scalar field supposed to be responsible for the acceleration of the universe, also revealed recently.

In this paper, we have obtained field equations of Sáez–Ballester (Phys. Lett. A, 113, 467 (1986)) scalar–tensor theory in the presence of two minimally interacting fields; matter and holographic dark energy components in the space–time described by a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type VI0 space–time. We have used the hybrid expansion law, proposed by Akarsu et al. (JCAP, 01, 022 (2014)), to obtain a determinate solution of the field equations. This solution represents a minimally interacting Bianchi type VI0 Sáez–Ballester universe. Physical and kinematical properties of the universe are also studied.

Plane symmetric solutions of a scalar-tensor theory proposed by Dunn have been obtained. These solutions are observed to be similar to the plane symmetric solutions of the field equations corresponding to zero mass scalar fields obtained by Patel. It is found that the empty space-times of general relativity discussed by Taub and by Bera are obtained as special cases.

In this paper, we have investigated Kantowaski-Sachs cosmological model with bulk viscous and cosmic string in the framework of Teleparallel Gravity so called f(T) gravity, where T denotes the torsion scalar. The behavior of accelerating universe is discussed towards the particular choice of f(T) = Α(T) + β(T)m. The exact solutions of the field equations are obtained by applying variable deceleration parameter which is linear in time with a negative slope. The physical behavior of these models has been discussed using some physical quantities. Also, the function of the torsion scalar for the universe is evaluated.

In this work we try to understand the late-time acceleration of the universe by assuming some modification in the geometry of the space and using dynamical system analysis. This technique allows to understand the behavior of the universe without analytically solving the field equations. We study the acceleration phase of the universe and stability properties of the critical points which could be compared with observational results. We consider an asymptotic behavior of two particular models [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] for the study. As a first case we fix the value of [Formula: see text] and analyze for all [Formula: see text]. Later as second case, we fix the value of [Formula: see text] and calculation are done for all [Formula: see text]. At the end all the calculations for the generalized case have been shown and results have been discussed in detail.

The variational field equations of Brans–Dicke scalar-tensor theory of gravitation are given in a non-Riemannian setting in the language of exterior differential forms over four-dimensional spacetimes. A conformally rescaled Robinson–Trautman metric together with the Brans–Dicke scalar field are used to characterize algebraically special Robinson–Trautman spacetimes. All the relevant tensors are worked out in a complex null basis and given explicitly in an appendix for future reference. Some special families of solutions are also given and discussed.

Palatini Variation

If one assumes higher dimensions and that dimensional reduction from higher dimensions produces scalar-tensor theory and also that Palatini variation is the correct method of varying scalar-tensor theory then spacetime is nonmetric. Palatini variation of Jordan frame lagrangians gives an equation relating the dilaton to the object of non-metricity and hence the existence of the dilaton implies that the spacetime connection is more general than that given soley by the Christoffel symbol of general relativity. Transferring from Jordan to Einstein frame, which connection, lagrangian, field equations and stress conservation equations occur are discussed: it is found that the Jordan frame has more information, this can be expressed in several ways, the simplest is that the extra information corresponds to the function multiplying the Ricci scalar in the action. The Einstein frame has the advantages that stress conservation implies no currents and that the field equations are easier to work with. This is illustrated by application to Robertson-Walker spacetime.
