We investigate the consequences of the pseudo-complex General Relativity within a pseudo-complexified Robertson–Walker metric. A contribution to the energy–momentum tensor arises, which corresponds to a dark energy and may change with the radius of the universe, i.e., time. Only when the Hubble function H does not change in time, the solution is consistent with a constant Λ.

The present status of the pseudo-complex General Relativity is presented. The pcGR includes many known theories with a minimal length. Restricting to its simplest form, an energy-momentum tensor is added at the right hand side of the Einstein equations, representing a dark energy, related to vacuum fluctuations. We use a phenomenological ansatz for the density and discuss observable consequences: Quaisperiodic Oscillations (QPO), effects on accretion disks and gravitational waves.

A minus sign is inserted, for good reason, into the formula for the energy–momentum tensor for tachyons. This leads to remarkable theoretical consequences and a plausible explanation for the phenomenon called dark energy in the cosmos.

We explore the field equations in a 4-d complex space-time, in the same way, that general relativity does for our usual 4-d real space-time, forming this way, a new "general  relativity" in C4 space-time, free of sources. Afterwards, by embedding our usual 4-d real space-time in C4 space-time, we describe  geometrically the energy-momentum tensor Tμν as the lost geometric information of this embedding. We further give possible explanation of dark eld and dark energy.

There exist field theory models where the fermionic energy–momentum tensor contains a term proportional to [Formula: see text] which may contribute to the dark energy. We show that this new field theory effect can be achieved in the Two Measures Field Theory (TMT) in the cosmological context. TMT is an alternative gravity and matter field theory where the gravitational interaction of fermionic matter is reduced to that of General Relativity when the energy density of the fermion matter is much larger than the dark energy density. In this case also the fifth force problem is solved automatically. In the opposite limit, where the magnitudes of fermionic energy density and scalar field dark energy density become comparable, nonrelativistic fermions can participate in the cosmological expansion in a very unusual manner. Some of the features of such Cosmo-Low-Energy-Physics (CLEP) states are studied in a toy model of the late time universe filled with homogeneous scalar field and uniformly distributed nonrelativistic neutrinos, and the following results are obtained: neutrino mass increases as m ∝ a3/2 (a is the scale factor); the proportionality factor in the noncanonical contribution to the neutrino energy–momentum tensor (proportional to the metric tensor) approaches a constant as a(t) → ∞ and therefore the noncanonical contribution to the neutrino energy density dominates over the canonical one ~ m/a3 ~ a-3/2 at the late enough universe; hence the neutrino gas equation-of-state approaches w = -1, i.e. neutrinos in the CLEP regime behave as a sort of dark energy as a → ∞; the equation-of-state for the total (scalar field + neutrino) energy density and pressure also approaches w = -1 in the CLEP regime; besides the total energy density of such universe is less than it would be in the universe filled with the scalar field alone. An analytic solution is presented. A domain structure of the dark energy seems to be possible. We speculate that decays of the CLEP state neutrinos may be both an origin of cosmic rays and responsible for a late super-acceleration of the universe. In this sense the CLEP states exhibit simultaneously new physics at very low densities and for very high particle masses.

We consider cosmological scenarios based on f(R, T) theories of gravity (R is the Ricci scalar and T is the trace of the energy–momentum tensor) and numerically reconstruct the function f(R, T) which is able to reproduce the same expansion history generated, in the standard General Relativity theory, by dark matter and holographic dark energy. We consider two special f(R, T) models: in the first instance, we investigate the modification R + 2f(T), i.e. the usual Einstein–Hilbert term plus a f(T) correction. In the second instance, we consider a f(R) + λT theory, i.e. a T correction to the renown f(R) theory of gravity.

Unimodular gravity is characterized by an extra condition with respect to general relativity, i.e., the determinant of the metric is constant. This extra condition leads to a more restricted class of invariance by coordinate transformation: The symmetry properties of unimodular gravity are governed by the transverse diffeomorphisms. Nevertheless, if the conservation of the energy–momentum tensor is imposed in unimodular gravity, the general relativity theory is recovered with an additional integration constant which is associated to the cosmological term Λ. However, if the energy–momentum tensor is not conserved separately, a new geometric structure appears with potentially observational signatures. In this text, we consider the evolution of gravitational waves in a nonconservative unimodular gravity, showing how it differs from the usual signatures in the standard model. As our main result, we verify that gravitational waves in the nonconservative version of unimodular gravity are strongly amplified during the evolution of the universe.

This paper studies the viable regions of some cosmic models in a higher derivative [Formula: see text] theory with the help of energy conditions (where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the Ricci scalar, d’Alembert’s operator and trace of energy–momentum tensor, respectively). For this purpose, we assume a flat Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric which is assumed to be filled with perfect fluid configurations. We take two distinct realistic models that might be helpful to explore stable regimes of cosmological solutions. After taking some numerical values of cosmic parameters, like crackle, snap, jerk (etc.) as well as viable constraints from energy conditions, the viable zones for the under observed [Formula: see text] models are examined.

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.

In the scenario of an optimal consideration that is, homogeneous and flat spacetime, we study the Black Hole (BH) formation from the gravitational collapse of a spherical symmetric clump of matter in the case of the specific Dark Matter (DM) model interacting with Dark Energy (DE) in the context of the brane world regime. This clump of matter constituted of DM, [Formula: see text] and DE, [Formula: see text]. In the present model, we consider anisotropic pressure in the energy–momentum tensor with a polytropic equation of state (EoS), [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. Our results show that the gravitational collapse of an interacting combination of DM and DE leads to the formation of BH in the presence of brane tension. Recent work provides the generalization of isotropic pressure to an-isotropic pressure in the energy–momentum tensor for the specific interacting combination model of DM and DE in a brane world regime.

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.
