We consider a five-dimensional Ricci flat Bouncing cosmology and assume that the four-dimensional universe is permeated smoothly by three minimally coupled matter components: CDM + baryons ρm, radiation ρr and dark energy ρx. Evolutions of these three components are studied and it is found that dark energy dominates before the bounce, and pulls the universe contracting. In this process, dark energy decreases while radiation and the matter increases. After the bounce, the radiation and matter dominates alternatively and then decreases with the expansion of the universe. At present, the dark energy dominates again and pushes the universe accelerating. In this model, we also obtain that the equation of state (EOS) of dark energy at present time is wx0≈-1.05 and the redshift of the transition from decelerated expansion to accelerated expansion is zT≈0.37, which are compatible with the current observations.

This paper is devoted to study the power-law entropy corrected holographic dark energy (ECHDE) model in the framework of f(T) gravity. We assume infrared (IR) cutoff in terms of Granda–Oliveros (GO) length and discuss the constructed f(T) model in interacting as well as in non-interacting scenarios. We explore some cosmological parameters like equation of state (EoS), deceleration, statefinder parameters as well as ωT–ωT′ analysis. The EoS and deceleration parameters indicate phantom behavior of the accelerated expansion of the universe. It is mentioned here that statefinder trajectories represent consistent results with ΛCDM limit, while evolution trajectory of ωT–ωT′ phase plane does not approach to ΛCDM limit for both interacting and non-interacting cases.

In this work, we reconstruct the f(R) modified gravity for different ghost and generalized-ghost dark energy (DE) models in FRW flat universe, which describes the accelerated expansion of the universe. The equation of state and deceleration parameter of reconstructed f(R) gravity have been calculated. The equation of state and deceleration parameter of reconstructed f(R)-ghost/generalized-ghost DE, have been calculated. We show that the corresponding f(R) gravity of ghost/generalized-ghost DE model can behave like phantom or quintessence. Also the transition between deceleration to acceleration regime is indicated by deceleration parameter diagram for reconstructed f(R) generalized-ghost DE model.

We reconstruct different f(R)-gravity models corresponding to the polytropic, standard Chaplygin, generalized Chaplygin, modified Chaplygin and modified variable Chaplygin gas dark energy (DE) models. We also obtain the equation of state (EoS) parameters of the corresponding f(R)-gravity models which describe the accelerated expansion of the universe. We conclude that although the EoS parameters of the obtained f(R)-gravities can behave like phantom or quintessence DE models, they cannot justify the transition from the quintessence state to the phantom regime. Furthermore, the polytropic and Chaplygin f(R)-gravity models in de Sitter space can satisfy the inflation condition.

The contribution of vacuum fluctuations to the cosmological constant is reconsidered studying the dependence on the used regularisation scheme. Then alternative explanations for the observed accelerated expansion of the universe in the present epoch are introduced which either modify gravity or add a new component of matter, dubbed dark energy. The chapter closes with some comments on attempts to quantise gravity.

The accelerated expansion of the Universe is one of the main discoveries of the past decades, indicating the presence of an unknown component: the dark energy. Evidence of its presence is being gathered by a succession of observational experiments with increasing precision in its measurements. However, the most accepted model for explaining the dynamic of our Universe, the so-called Lambda cold dark matter, faces several problems related to the nature of such energy component. This has led to a growing exploration of alternative models attempting to solve those drawbacks. In this review, we briefly summarize the characteristics of a (non-exhaustive) list of dark energy models as well as some of the most used cosmological samples. Next, we discuss how to constrain each model’s parameters using observational data. Finally, we summarize the status of dark energy modeling.

The present study deals with a spatially homogeneous locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type-I dark energy cosmological model containing one dimensional cosmic string fluid source. The Einstein's field equations are solved by using a relation between the metric potentials and hybrid expansion law of average scale factor. We discuss accelerated expansion of our model through equation of state (ωde) and deceleration parameter (q). We observe that in the evolution of our model, the equation of state parameter starts from matter dominated phase ωde > -1/3 and ultimately attains a constant value in quintessence region (-1 < ωde < -1/3). The EoS parameter of the model never crosses the phantom divide line (ωde = 1). These facts are consistent with recent observations. We also discuss some other physical parameters.

Dark energy and the accelerated expansion of the universe have been the direct predictions of the distant supernovae Ia observations which are also supported, indirectly, by the observations of the CMB anisotropies, gravitational lensing and the studies of galaxy clusters. Today these results are accommodated in what has become the concordance cosmology: a universe with flat spatial sections t = constant with about 70% of its energy in the form of Einstein's cosmological constant Λ and about 25% in the form of dark matter (made of perhaps weakly-interacting massive particles). Though the composition is weird, the theory has shown remarkable successes at many fronts. However, we find that as more and more supernovae Ia are observed, more accurately and towards higher redshift, the probability that the data are well-explained by the cosmological models decreases alarmingly, finally ruling out the concordance model at more than 95% confidence level. This raises doubts against the "standard candle"-hypothesis of the supernovae Ia and their use in constraining the cosmological models. We need a better understanding of the entire SN Ia phenomenon in order to extract cosmological consequences from them.

A five dimensional Kaluza-Klein space time is considered with wet dark fluid (WDF) source in the framework of f(R,T) gravity, where R is the Ricci scalar and T is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor proposed by Harko et al. (Phys. Rev. D \textbf{84}, 024020, (2011)). A new equation of state in the form of WDF has been used for dark energy (DE) component of the universe. It is modeled on the equation of state p=\omega(\rho-\rho^*) which can be describing a liquid, for example water. The exact solutions to the corresponding field equations are obtained for power law and exponential law of the volumetric expansion. The geometrical and physical parameters for both the models are studied. The model obtained here may represent the inflationary era in the early universe and the very late time of the universe. This model obtained here shows that even in the presence of wet dark fluid, the universe indicates accelerated expansion of the universe.

The present-day accelerated expansion of the universe is naturally addressed within the Brans–Dicke theory just by using holographic dark energy model with inverse of Hubble scale as IR cutoff and power law temporal behavior of scale factor. It is also concluded that if the universe continues to expand, then one day it might be completely filled with dark energy.
