Perfect-fluid matter, satisfying the equation of state p=(γ−1)ρ, is considered in cosmologies where the geometry is nonminimally coupled with a scalar field ɸ and the potential of ɸ is λɸ4+Λ. Exact solutions are found when γ is a constant describing the ordinary forms of matter (γ=1, dust, γ=4/3, radiation, γ=2, stiff matter and γ=0, scalar field matter) and a discussion is done in order to recover Einstein gravity and the Newton constant observed today. The various solutions can be classified according to the different values of γ, λ and Λ.

We investigate Brans-Dicke cosmology with perfect-fluid matter and give a method for selecting exact solutions parametrized by the constant γ of the state equation p=(γ−1)ρ and the parameter ξ of the nonminimal coupling in which the Brans-Dicke theory can be recast. In this sense, we can classify the solutions having and not having inflationary behavior in the presence of ordinary matter.

We investigate (n+1)-dimensional string–dilaton cosmology with effective dilaton potential in presence of perfect-fluid matter. We get exact solutions parametrized by the constant γ of the state equation p=(γ-1)ρ, the spatial dimension number n, the bulk of matter, and the spatial curvature constant k. Several interesting cosmological behaviours are selected. Finally we discuss the recovering of ordinary Einstein gravity starting from string dominated regime and a sort of asymptotic freedom due to string effective coupling.

AbstractThe present article investigates the existence of Noether and Noether gauge symmetries of flat Friedman–Robertson–Walker universe model with perfect fluid matter ingredients in a generalized scalar field formulation namely $$f(R,Y,\phi )$$ f ( R , Y , ϕ ) gravity, where R is the Ricci scalar and Y denotes the curvature invariant term defined by $$Y=R_{\alpha \beta }R^{\alpha \beta }$$ Y = R α β R α β , while $$\phi $$ ϕ represents scalar field. For this purpose, we assume different general cases of generic $$f(R,Y,\phi )$$ f ( R , Y , ϕ ) function and explore its possible forms along with field potential $$V(\phi )$$ V ( ϕ ) by taking constant and variable coupling function of scalar field $$\omega (\phi )$$ ω ( ϕ ) . In each case, we find non-trivial symmetry generator and its related first integrals of motion (conserved quantities). It is seen that due to complexity of the resulting system of Lagrange dynamical equations, it is difficult to find exact cosmological solutions except for few simple cases. It is found that in each case, the existence of Noether symmetries leads to power law form of scalar field potential and different new types of generic function. For the acquired exact solutions, we discuss the cosmology generated by these solutions graphically and discuss their physical significance which favors the accelerated expanding eras of cosmic evolution.

A generalized Robertson–Walker (GRW) space-time is the generalization of the classical Robertson–Walker space-time. In the present paper, we show that a Ricci simple manifold with vanishing divergence of the conformal curvature tensor admits a proper concircular vector field and it is necessarily a GRW space-time. Further, we show that a stiff matter perfect fluid space-time or a mass-less scalar field with time-like gradient and with divergence-free Weyl tensor are GRW space-times.

The general solution of the field equations in LRS Bianchi-I spacetime with perfect fluid equation-of-state (EoS) is presented. The models filled with dust, vacuum energy, Zel’dovich matter and disordered radiation are studied in detail. A unified and systematic treatment of the solutions is presented, and some new solutions are found. The dust, stiff matter and disordered radiation models describe only a decelerated universe, whereas the vacuum energy model exhibits a transition from a decelerated to an accelerated phase.

We present several features of a cosmological model based on the Brans–Dicke–Jordan–Thirry action which is scale invariant with a quartic potential for the Jordan scalar field. We show that the radiation dominated era starts with a closed universe which expands exponentially and the late radiation dominated era expands linearly. We find that there may be a scale-invariant phase with stiff matter between these two radiation dominated eras. The introduction of matter in the linearly expanding universe may cause deceleration or acceleration.
