One approach in modern cosmology consists in supposing that dark matter and dark energy are different manifestations of a single 'quartessential' fluid. Following such idea, this work presents a summary of some studies of the evolution of density perturbations in a flat cosmological model with a modified Chaplygin gas acting as a single component. Our goal is to obtain properties of the model which can be used to distinguish it from another cosmological models which have the same solutions for the general evolution of the scale factor of the universe, even without the construction of the power spectrum. Both our analytical and numerical results clearly indicate as one interesting feature of the model the presence of peaks in the evolution of the density constrast.

Inspired by the work of Bamba et al. (Phys. Rev. D, 85, 104036 (2012)) the present paper reports a study on the reconstruction of modified holographic Ricci dark energy (MHRDE) in the framework of modified gravity taken as f(T) gravity. A correspondence between modified Chaplygin gas and MHRDE has also been considered and thereinafter the f(T) gravity has been reconstructed via reconstruction of the Hubble parameter. The reconstructed equation of state (EoS) parameter obtained this way has been found to be able to cross the phantom boundary. In the next phase of the work, a viable model of f(T) gravity has been considered and MHRDE has been discussed in this modified gravity frame. The EoS parameter due to the torsion contribution obtained this way has been found to behave like quintessence. The transition of the universe from the dark matter dominated to dark energy (DE) dominated phase is apparent from this model. Also, the model is exhibiting DE domination of the current universe. Finally, the statefinder hierarchy has been discussed through the statefinder and snap parameters. The model has been found to be able to attain the ΛCDM fixed point in the statefinder trajectory.

The modified Chaplygin gas could be considered to abide by the unified dark fluid model because the model might describe the past decelerating matter dominated era and at present time it provides an accelerating expansion of the Universe. In this paper, we have employed the Planck 2015 cosmic microwave background anisotropy, type-Ia supernovae, observed Hubble parameter data sets to measure the full parameter space of the modified Chaplygin gas as a unified dark matter and dark energy model. The model parameters Bs, α, and B determine the evolutional history of this unified dark fluid model by influencing the energy density ρMCG = ρMCG0[Bs + (1 − Bs)a−3(1 + B)(1 + α)]1/(1 + α). We assumed the pure adiabatic perturbation of unified modified Chaplygin gas in the linear perturbation theory. In the light of Markov chain Monte Carlo method, we find that Bs = 0.727+0.040+0.075−0.039−0.079, α = −0.0156+0.0982+0.2346−0.1380−0.2180, B = 0.0009+0.0018+0.0030−0.0017−0.0030 at 2σ level. The model parameters α and B are very close to zero and the nature of unified dark energy and dark matter model is very similar to cosmological standard model ΛCDM.

We characterize a class of simple FRW models filled by both dark energy and dark matter in notion of a single potential function of the scale factor a(t); t is the cosmological time. It represents the potential of a fictitious particle — Universe moving in 1-dimensional well V(a) which the positional variable mimics the evolution of the Universe. Then the class of all dark energy models (called a multiverse) can be regarded as a Banach space naturally equipped in the structure of the Sobolev metric. In this paper, we explore the notion of C1 metric introduced in the multiverse which measures distance between any two dark energy models. If we choose cold dark matter as a reference, then we can find how far apart are different models offering explanation of the present accelerating expansion phase of the Universe. We consider both models with dark energy (models with the generalized Chaplygin gas, models with variable coefficient equation of state [Formula: see text] parameterized by redshift z, models with phantom matter) as well as models based on some modification of Friedmann equation (Cardassian models, Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati brane models). We argue that because observational data still favor the ΛCDM model, all reasonable dark energy models should belong to the nearby neighborhood of this model.

I introduce here the problem of dark energy, a substance that appears to be pushing the Universe to expand ever faster and discuss the large effort currently in place to understand its origin. I describe the surprising recent discovery of a widening crack in the cathedral of modern cosmology arising from the measurement of the expansion rate of the Universe. And I argue that gravitational waves observations can help us to either repair that crack, or to bring down that magnificent building, in case it turns out to be fatally flawed. Before all women and all men. Before animals, plants, archaeans, bacteria. Before the Earth was formed and the stars were lit. Before everything we know, the Universe was immersed in an amorphous and oblivious darkness.

In this review we consider in detail different theoretical topics associated with interaction in the dark sector. We study linear and nonlinear interactions which depend on the dark matter and dark energy densities. We consider a number of different models (including the holographic dark energy and dark energy in a fractal universe), with interacting dark energy and dark matter, have done a thorough analysis of these models. The main task of this review was not only to give an idea about the modern set of different models of dark energy, but to show how much can be diverse dynamics of the universe in these models. We find that the dynamics of a universe that contains interaction in the dark sector can differ significantly from the Standard Cosmological Model.

We have investigated the evolution of a homogeneous isotropic background of the Universe and inhomogeneous subhorizon matter density perturbations in viable f(R) models of present dark energy and cosmic acceleration analytically and numerically. It is found that viable f(R) models generically exhibit recent crossing of the phantom boundary w DE = -1. Furthermore, it is shown that the growth index of perturbations depends both on time and wavenumber. This anomalous growth may explain properties of the observational matter power spectrum from the SDSS data and can also partially counteract the spectrum suppression by massive neutrinos making larger values of the total sum of neutrino rest-masses possible.

The present paper reports a study on modified Chaplygin gas (MCG)-based reconstruction scheme for extended holographic Ricci dark energy (EHRDE) in the presence of viscous type dissipative term. The dissipative effect has been described by using Eckart approach. Under the assumption that the universe is filled with MCG–EHRDE under the influence of bulk viscosity we have studied the cosmological dynamics, where the bulk viscosity coefficient has been chosen in a particular time varying form [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are constant coefficients and [Formula: see text] is the Hubble parameter. Furthermore, we have reconstructed the potential and dynamics of viscous MCG–EHRDE as scalar field. Thereafter we have studied the statefinder trajectories to discern its departure from [Formula: see text] cold dark matter ([Formula: see text]CDM) and finally investigated validity of the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics considering event horizon as the enveloping horizon of the universe.

Anisotropies in luminosity distance-redshift relation (dL − z relation) caused by the large-scale structure (LSS) of the universe are studied. We solve the Raychaudhuri equation on FRW models taking account of LSS by the linear perturbation method. Numerical calculations to evaluate the amplitude of the anisotropies are done on flat models with cosmological constant and open models, employing Cold Dark Matter models and COBE-normalization for the power spectrum of the density perturbations.

The type Ia supernovae observational data are used to estimate the parameters of a cosmological model with cold dark matter and the Chaplygin gas. This exotic gas, which is characterized by a negative pressure varying with the inverse of density, represents in this model the dark energy responsible for the acceleration of the Universe. The Chaplygin gas model depends essentially on four parameters: the Hubble constant, the velocity of the sound of the Chaplygin gas, the curvature of the Universe and the fraction density of the Chaplygin gas and the cold dark matter. The Bayesian parameter estimation yields [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. These and other results indicate that a Universe completely dominated by the Chaplygin gas is favoured, what reinforces the idea that the Chaplygin gas may unify the description for dark matter and dark energy, at least as the type Ia supernovae data are concerned. A closed and accelerating Universe is also favoured. The Bayesian statistics indicates that the Chaplygin gas model is more likely than the standard cosmological constant (ΛCDM) model at 55.3% confidence level when an integration on all free parameters is performed. Assuming the spatially flat curvature, this percentage mounts to 65.3%. On the other hand, if the density of dark matter is fixed at zero value, the Chaplygin gas model becomes more preferred than the ΛCDM model at 91.8% confidence level. Finally, the hypothesis of flat Universe and baryonic matter (Ωb0=0.04) implies a Chaplygin gas model preferred over the ΛCDM at a confidence level of 99.4%.
