In this paper, a generalized tachyonic dark energy scenario is presented in the framework of a homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) flat universe, in which a noncanonical scalar field is coupled to gravity nonminimally. By utilizing the Noether symmetry method, we found the explicit form of both potential density and coupling function, as a function of the scalar field. It is found that the tachyon field acts as the source of inflation and accelerates the evolution of the universe in the early times considerably. While, in the late times, gravitational sources are a pressureless matter field together with the tachyon field, which is the nature of dark energy and plays an essential role in the deceleration-acceleration phase transition of the universe. Further, the role of the coefficient function of tachyon potential, alongside the potential, is considered in the evolution of the universe. It is shown that this model involves a cosmological degeneracy in the sense that different coupling parameters and tachyonic potentials may be equivalent to the same cosmological standards such as the cosmic acceleration, age, equation of state and mean Hubble of the FLRW universe. The physical characteristics of the main cosmological observables are studied in detail, which suggests that the generalized tachyon field is a remarkable dark energy candidate.

In this study, we examine two models of the scalar field, that is, a normal scalar field and a tachyon scalar field in [Formula: see text] gravity to describe cosmic acceleration of the universe, where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are Ricci curvature scalar, trace of energy–momentum tensor and kinetic energy of scalar field [Formula: see text], respectively. Using the minimal-coupling Lagrangian [Formula: see text], for both the scalar models we obtain a viable cosmological system, where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are real constants. While a normal scalar field gives a system describing expansion from the deceleration to the late-time acceleration, tachyon field together with [Formula: see text] in the system produces a quintessential expansion which is very close to de Sitter point, where we find a new condition [Formula: see text] for inflation.

Motivated by the recent observations for cosmic acceleration and the suitable evolution of the universe provided an interaction (decay of dark energy to matter) is incorporated in a cosmological model, we study the cosmological evolution of the interacting holographic dark energy scenario. Critical points are derived and their corresponding cosmological models are presented. The dynamical character of these models is revealed.

In this work, we have proposed a general dark energy density parametrization to study the evolution of the universe. We have also constrained the model parameters using the combination of Type Ia supernova (SNIa), baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO), cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) and observational [Formula: see text] datasets. For the [Formula: see text] dataset, we have used the direct observations of the Hubble rate, from the radial BAO size and the cosmic chronometer methods. Our result indicates that the [Formula: see text] dataset does not favor the [Formula: see text]CDM model at more than [Formula: see text] confidence level. Furthermore, we have also measured the percentage deviation in the evolution of the normalized Hubble parameter for the present model compared to a [Formula: see text]CDM model, and the corresponding deviation is found to be 4–5% at low redshifts [Formula: see text]. Finally, we have also investigated whether the deceleration parameter [Formula: see text] may have more than one transition during the evolution of the universe. The present model shows a transient accelerating phase, in which the universe was decelerated in the past and is presently accelerating, but will return to a decelerating phase in the near future. This result is in great contrast to the [Formula: see text]CDM scenario, which predicts that the cosmic acceleration must remain forever.

Motivated by the recent work of Zhang and Chen,1we generalize their work to the nonminimally coupled case. We consider a quintom model of dark energy with a single scalar field T given by a Lagrangian inspired by a tachyonic Lagrangian in string theory. We consider nonminimal coupling of the tachyon field to the scalar curvature, and then we reconstruct this model in the light of three forms of parametrization for dynamical dark energy.

We consider a cosmology with decaying metastable dark energy and assume that a decay process of this metastable dark energy is a quantum decay process. Such an assumption implies among others that the evolution of the Universe is irreversible and violates the time reversal symmetry. We show that if we replace the cosmological time t appearing in the equation describing the evolution of the Universe by the Hubble cosmological scale time, then we obtain time dependent Λ(t) in the form of the series of even powers of the Hubble parameter H: Λ(t)=Λ(H). Our special attention is focused on radioactive-like exponential form of the decay process of the dark energy and on the consequences of this type decay.

A bouncing scenario is studied in the framework of generalized Brans–Dicke theory. In order to have a dark energy (DE) driven late time cosmic acceleration, we have considered a unified dark fluid simulated by a linear equation of state (EoS). The evolutionary behavior of the DE equation of parameter derived from the unified dark fluid has been discussed. The effect of the bouncing scale factor on the Brans–Dicke parameter, self-interacting potential and the Brans–Dicke scalar field is investigated.

The generated relic gravitational waves underwent several stages of evolution of the universe such as inflation and reheating. These stages were affected on the shape of spectrum of the waves. As well known, at the end of inflation, the scalar field [Formula: see text] oscillates quickly around some point where potential [Formula: see text] has a minimum. The end of inflation stage played a crucial role on the further evolution stages of the universe because particles were created and collisions of the created particles were responsible for reheating the universe. There is a general range for the frequency of the spectrum [Formula: see text])[Formula: see text]Hz. It is shown that the reheating temperature can affect on the frequency of the spectrum as well. There is constraint on the temperature from cosmological observations based on WMAP-9 and Planck. Therefore, it is interesting to estimate allowed value of frequencies of the spectrum based on general range of reheating temperature like few MeV [Formula: see text] GeV, WMAP-9 and Planck data then compare the spectrum with sensitivity of future detectors such as LISA, BBO and ultimate-DECIGIO. The obtained results of this comparison give us some more chance for detection of the relic gravitational waves.

We consider the cosmological application of a (variant of) relatively newly proposed model1 unifying inflation, dark energy, dark matter, and the Higgs mechanism. The model was originally defined using additional non-Riemannian measures, but it can be reformulated into effective quintessential model unifying inflation, dark energy and dark matter. Here, we demonstrate numerically that it is capable of describing the entire evolution of the Universe in a seamless way, but this requires some revision of the model setup. The main reason is that there is a strong effective friction in the model, a feature which has been neglected in the pioneer work. This improves the model potential for proper description of the evolution of the Universe, because the friction ensures a finite time inflation with dynamically maintained low-value slow-roll parameters in the realistic scenarios. In addition, the model predicts the existence of a constant scalar field in late Universe.

An anisotropic cosmological model with expansion and rotation and the Bianchi type IX metric has been constructed within the framework of general relativity theory. The first inflation stage of the Universe filled with a scalar field and an anisotropic fluid is considered. The model describes the Friedman stage of cosmological evolution with subsequent transition to accelerated exponential expansion observed in the present epoch. The model has two rotating fluids: the anisotropic fluid and dust-like fluid. In the approach realized in the model, the anisotropic fluid describes the rotating dark energy.
