We consider the evolution of a flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker Universe, filled with a causal bulk viscous cosmological fluid, in the presence of variable gravitational and cosmological constants. The basic equation for the Hubble parameter, generalizing the evolution equation in the case of constant gravitational coupling and cosmological term is derived, under the supplementary assumption that the total energy of the Universe is conserved. By assuming that the cosmological constant is proportional to the square of the Hubble parameter and a power law dependence of the bulk viscosity coefficient, temperature and relaxation time on the energy density of the cosmological fluid, two classes of exact solutions of the field equations are obtained. In the first class of solutions the Universe ends in an inflationary era, while in the second class of solutions the expan-sion of the Universe is noninflationary for all times. In both models the cosmological "constant" is a decreasing function of time, while the gravitational "constant" increases in the early period of evolution of the Universe and tends in the large time limit to a constant value.

AbstractBulk viscosity is the only viscous influence that can change the background dynamics in a homogeneous and isotropic universe. In the present work, we analyze the bulk viscous cosmological model with the bulk viscosity coefficient of the form $$\zeta =\zeta _0+\zeta _1H+\zeta _2\left( \frac{\dot{H}}{H}+H\right) $$ ζ = ζ 0 + ζ 1 H + ζ 2 H ˙ H + H where, $$\zeta _0$$ ζ 0 , $$\zeta _1$$ ζ 1 and $$\zeta _2$$ ζ 2 are bulk viscous parameters, and H is the Hubble parameter. We investigate the impact of the bulk viscous parameter on dynamics of the universe in the recently proposed Weyl-type f(Q, T) gravity, where Q is the non-metricity, and T is the trace of the matter energy–momentum tensor. The exact solutions to the corresponding field equations are obtained with the viscous fluid and the linear model of the form $$f(Q, T)=\alpha Q+\frac{\beta }{6\kappa ^2}T$$ f ( Q , T ) = α Q + β 6 κ 2 T , where $$\alpha $$ α and $$\beta $$ β are model parameters. Further, we constrain the model parameters using the 57 points Hubble dataset the recently released 1048 points Pantheon sample and the combination Hz + BAO + Pantheon, which shows our model is good congeniality with observations. We study the possible scenarios and the evolution of the universe through the deceleration parameter, the equation of state (EoS) parameter, the statefinder diagnostics, and the Om diagnostics. It is observed that the universe exhibits a transition from a decelerated to an accelerated phase of the universe under certain constraints of model parameters.

Assuming that the background geometry is filled with a free gas consisting of matter and radiation and that no phase transitions are occurring in the early universe, we discuss the thermodynamics of this closed system using classical approaches. We find that essential cosmological quantities, such as the Hubble parameter H, scale factor a, and curvature parameter k, can be derived from this simple model. On one hand, it obeys the laws of thermodynamics entirely. On the other hand, the results are compatible with the Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker model and the Einstein field equations. The inclusion of a finite bulk viscosity coefficient derives important changes in all of these cosmological quantities. The thermodynamics of the viscous universe is studied and a conservation law is found. Accordingly, our picture of the evolution of the early universe and its astrophysical consequences seems to be the subject of radical revision. We find that the parameter k, for instance, strongly depends on the thermodynamics of the background matter. The time scale, at which a negative curvature might take place, depends on the relation between the matter content and the total energy. Using quantum and statistical approaches, we assume that the size of the universe is given by the volume occupied by one particle and one photon. Different types of interactions between matter and photon are taken into account. In this quantum treatment, expressions for H and a are also introduced. Therefore, the expansion of the universe turns out to be accessible.

The dynamics of a causal bulk viscous cosmological fluid filled flat constantly decelerating noninflationary Robertson–Walker spacetime is considered. The matter component of the Universe is assumed to satisfy a linear barotropic equation of state and the state equation of the small temperature Boltzmann gas. The resulting cosmological models satisfy the condition of smallness of the viscous stress. The evolution of the relaxation time, temperature, bulk viscosity coefficient and comoving entropy of the dissipative cosmological fluid are obtained by assuming several bulk viscosity coefficient-relaxation time relations.

We consider the dynamics of a causal bulk viscous cosmological fluid filled flat constantly decelerating Bianchi type I spacetime. The matter component of the Universe is assumed to satisfy a linear barotropic equation of state and the state equation of the small temperature Boltzmann gas. The resulting cosmological models satisfy the condition of smallness of the viscous stress. The time evolution of the relaxation time, temperature, bulk viscosity coefficient and comoving entropy of the dissipative cosmological fluid is also obtained.

An exact solution of the gravitational field equations is presented for a homogeneous flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe filled with a causal bulk viscous fluid obeying the Zeldovich stiff equation of state and having bulk viscosity coefficient proportional to the fourth root of the energy density.

The evolution of a causal bulk viscous cosmological fluid filled open conformally flat spacetime is considered. By means of appropriate transformations the equation describing the dynamics and evolution of the very early Universe can be reduced to a first order Abel type differential equation. In the case of a bulk viscosity coefficient proportional to the square root of the density, ξ~ρ1/2, an exact and two particular approximate solutions are obtained. The resulting cosmologies start from a singular state and generally have a noninflationary behavior, the deceleration parameter tending, in the large time limit, to zero. The thermodynamic consistency of the results is also checked.

We consider the evolution of a flat Friedmann–Roberstson–Walker Universe in a higher derivative theory, including αR2terms for the Einstein–Hilbert action in the presence of variable gravitational and cosmological constants. We study the evolution of the gravitational and cosmological constants in the radiation and matter domination era of the universe. We present new cosmological solutions which are physically interesting for model building.

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 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.
