In this paper, we investigate anisotropic fluid cosmology in a situation where the space–time metric back-reacts in a local, time-dependent way to the presence of inhomogeneities. We derive exact solutions to the Einstein field equations describing Friedmann–Lemaítre–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) large-scale cosmological evolution in the presence of local inhomogeneities and time-dependent backreaction. We use our derivation to tackle the cosmological constant problem. A cosmological constant emerges by averaging the backreaction term on spatial scales of the order of 100 Mpc, at which our universe begins to appear homogeneous and isotropic. We find that the order of magnitude of the “emerged” cosmological constant agrees with astrophysical observations and is related in a natural way to baryonic matter density. Thus, there is no coincidence problem in our framework.

Cosmic Coincidence Problem

We present a possible understanding to the issues of cosmological constant, inflation, dark matter and coincidence problems based only on the Einstein equation and Hawking particle production. The inflation appears and results agree to observations. The CMB large-scale anomaly can be explained and the dark-matter acoustic wave is speculated. The entropy and reheating are discussed. The cosmological term [Formula: see text] tracks down the matter [Formula: see text] until the radiation-matter equilibrium, then slowly varies, thus the cosmic coincidence problem can be avoided. The relation between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is shown and can be examined at large redshifts.

In an attempt to reconcile the large number hypothesis (LNH) with Einstein's theory of gravitation, a tentative generalization of Einstein's field equations with time-dependent cosmological and gravitational constants is proposed. A cosmological model consistent with the LNH is deduced. The coupling formula of the cosmological constant with matter is found, and as a consequence, the time-dependent formulae of the cosmological constant and the mean matter density of the Universe at the present epoch are then found. Einstein's theory of gravitation, whether with a zero or nonzero cosmological constant, becomes a limiting case of the new generalized field equations after the early epoch.

It was first observed at the end of the last century that the universe is presently accelerating. Ever since, there have been several attempts to explain this observation theoretically. There are two possible approaches. The more conventional one is to modify the matter part of the Einstein field equations, and the second one is to modify the geometry part. We shall consider two phenomenological models based on the former, more conventional approach within the context of general relativity. The phenomenological models in this paper consider a Λ term firstly a function of a¨/a and secondly a function of ρ, where a and ρ are the scale factor and matter energy density, respectively. Constraining the free parameters of the models with the latest observational data gives satisfactory values of parameters as considered by us initially. Without any field theoretic interpretation, we explain the recent observations with a dynamical cosmological constant.

We study space–times having spherically symmetric anisotropic fluid with self-similarity of zeroth kind. We find a class of solutions to the Einstein field equations by assuming a shear-free metric and that the fluid moves along time-like geodesics. The energy conditions, and geometrical and physical properties of the solutions are studied and we find that it can be considered as representing an accelerating universe. At the beginning all the energy conditions were fulfilled but beyond a certain time (a maximum geometrical radius) none of them is satisfied, characterizing a transition from normal matter (dark matter, baryon matter and radiation) to dark energy.

We have presented cosmological models in five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein space-time with a variable gravitational constant (G) and cosmological constant (Λ). We have investigated Einstein’s field equations for five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein space-time in the presence of perfect fluid with time dependent G and Λ. A variety of solutions have been found in which G increases and Λ decreases with time t, which matches with current observation. The properties of fluid and kinematical parameters have been discussed in detail.

Motivated by brane cosmology, we solve the Einstein equations with a time-dependent cosmological constant. Assuming that at an early epoch the vacuum energy scales as 1/log t, we show that the universe passes from a fast growing phase (inflation) to an expanding phase in a natural way.

Cosmological Constant Problem

A new perspective on the Cosmological Constant Problem (CCP) is proposed and discussed within the multiverse approach of Quantum Cosmology. It is assumed that each member of the ensemble of universes has a characteristic scale a that can be used as integration variable in the partition function. An averaged characteristic scale of the ensemble is estimated by using only members that satisfy the Einstein field equations. The averaged characteristic scale is compatible with the Planck length when considering an ensemble of solutions to the Einstein field equations with an effective cosmological constant. The multiverse ensemble is split in Planck-seed universes with vacuum energy density of order one; thus, Λ˜≈8π in Planck units and a-derivable universes. For a-derivable universe with a characteristic scale of the order of the observed Universe a≈8×1060, the cosmological constant Λ=Λ˜/a2 is in the range 10−121–10−122, which is close in magnitude to the observed value 10−123. We point out that the smallness of Λ can be viewed to be natural if its value is associated with the entropy of the Universe. This approach to the CCP reconciles the Planck-scale huge vacuum energy–density predicted by QFT considerations, as valid for Planck-seed universes, with the observed small value of the cosmological constant as relevant to an a-derivable universe as observed.

In this paper, we present new physically viable interior solutions of the Einstein field equations for static and spherically symmetric anisotropic compact stars satisfying the Karmarkar condition. For presenting the exact solutions, we provide a new suitable form of one of the metric potential functions. Obtained solutions satisfy all the physically acceptable properties of realistic fluid spheres and hence solutions are well-behaved and representing matter distributions are in equilibrium state and potentially stable by satisfying the TOV equation and the condition on stability factor, adiabatic indices. We analyze the solutions for two well-known compact stars Vela X-1 (Mass = 1.77 M[Formula: see text], R = 9.56 km) and Cen X-3 (Mass = 1.49 M[Formula: see text], R = 9.17 km).

Anisotropic fluid with self-similarity of the second kind in (2 + 1)-dimensional space–times with circular symmetry is studied. By imposing the condition that the radial pressure vanishes, we show that the only allowed solutions are the ones that represent dust fluid. All such solutions to the Einstein field equations are found and their local and global properties are studied in detail. It is found that some can be interpreted as representing gravitational collapse, in which both naked singularities and black holes can be formed.

Novel static, time-dependent and spatial–temporal solutions to Einstein field equations, displaying singularities, with and without horizons, and in several dimensions, are found based on a dimensional reduction procedure widely used in Kaluza–Klein-type theories. The Kerr–Newman black hole entropy as well as the Reissner–Nordstrom, Kerr and Schwarzschild black hole entropy are derived from the corresponding Euclideanized actions. A very special cosmological model based on the dynamical interior geometry of a black hole is found that has no singularities at t = 0 due to the smoothing of the mass distribution. We conclude with another cosmological model equipped also with a dynamical horizon and which is related to Vaidya's metric (associated with the Hawking radiation of black holes) by interchanging t ↔ r, which might render our universe a dynamical black hole.
