Gauge Gravity

A cosmology of Poincaré gauge theory is developed. An analytic solution is obtained. The calculation results agree with observation data and can be compared with the [Formula: see text]CDM model. The cosmological constant puzzle is the coincidence and fine tuning problem are solved naturally at the same time. The cosmological constant turns out to be the intrinsic torsion and curvature of the vacuum universe, and is derived from the theory naturally rather than added artificially. The dark energy originates from geometry, includes the cosmological constant but differs from it. The analytic expression of the state equations of the dark energy and the density parameters of the matter and the geometric dark energy are derived. The full equations of linear cosmological perturbations and the solutions are obtained.

The Stability

In this paper, we study the possibility of obtaining a stable flat dark energy-dominated universe in a good agreement with observations in the framework of Swiss-cheese brane-world cosmology. Two different brane-world cosmologies with black strings have been introduced for any cosmological constant [Formula: see text] using two empirical forms of the scale factor. In both models, we have performed a fine-tuning between the brane tension and the cosmological constant so that the Equation of state (EoS) parameter [Formula: see text] for the current epoch, where the redshift [Formula: see text]. We then used these fine–tuned values to calculate and plot all parameters and energy conditions. The deceleration–acceleration cosmic transition is allowed in both models, and the jerk parameter [Formula: see text] at late-times. Both solutions predict a future dark energy-dominated universe in which [Formula: see text] with no crossing to the phantom divide line. While the pressure in the first solution is always negative, the second solution predicts a better behavior of cosmic pressure where the pressure is negative only in the late-time accelerating era but positive in the early-time decelerating era. Such a positive-to-negative transition in the evolution of pressure helps to explain the cosmic deceleration–acceleration transition. Since black strings have been proved to be unstable by some authors, this instability can actually reflect doubts on the stability of cosmological models with black strings (Swiss-cheese type brane-worlds cosmological models). For this reason, we have carefully investigated the stability through energy conditions and sound speed. Because of the presence of quadratic energy terms in Swiss-cheese type brane-world cosmology, we have tested the new nonlinear energy conditions in addition to the classical energy conditions. We have also found that a negative tension brane is not allowed in both models of the current work as the energy density will no longer be well defined.

Conformal Theory

We show that the origin of the dark matter and dark energy problems originates in the assumption of standard Einstein gravity that Newton's constant is fundamental. We discuss an alternate, conformal invariant, metric theory of gravity in which Newton's constant is induced dynamically, with the global induced one which is effective for cosmology being altogether weaker than the local induced one needed for the solar system. We find that in the theory dark matter is no longer needed, and that the accelerating universe data can be fitted without fine-tuning using a cosmological constant as large as particle physics suggests. In the conformal theory then it is not the cosmological constant which is quenched but rather the amount of gravity that it produces.

Quintessence Model

We propose a dynamical (quintessence) model of dark energy in the current Universe with a renormalizable (Higgs-like) scalar potential. We prove the viability of our model (after fine-tuning) for the certain range of the average scalar curvature values, and study the cosmological signatures distinguishing our model from the standard description of dark energy in terms of a cosmological constant.

Insight Into

The holographic principle provides a deep insight into quantum gravity and resolves the fine-tuning crisis concerning the cosmological constant. Holographic dark energy introduces new ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) cutoffs into quantum gravity which are necessarily strongly related. The equation of state for dark energy [Formula: see text] is discussed from the holographic point of view. The phantom option of [Formula: see text] is resurrected, as in an earlier cyclic cosmology. Such a cyclic model can, however, equally use the cosmological constant with [Formula: see text].

Modified Gravity Models

Mounting observational data confirm that about 73% of the energy density consists of dark energy which is responsible for the current accelerated expansion of the Universe. We present observational evidences and dark energy projects. We then review various theoretical ideas that have been proposed to explain the origin of dark energy; they contain the cosmological constant, modified matter models, modified gravity models and the inhomogeneous model. The cosmological constant suffers from two major problems: one regarding fine-tuning and the other regarding coincidence. To solve them there arose modified matter models such as quintessence, k-essence, coupled dark energy and unified dark energy. We compare those models by presenting attractive aspects, new rising problems and possible solutions. Furthermore, we review modified gravity models that lead to late-time accelerated expansion without invoking a new form of dark energy; they contain f(R) gravity and the Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati (DGP) model. We also discuss observational constraints on those models and on future modified gravity theories. Finally we review the inhomogeneous Lemaître–Tolman–Bondi (LTB) model that drops an assumption of the spatial homogeneity of the Universe. We also present basics of cosmology and scalar field theory, which are useful especially for students and novices to understand dark energy models.

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.

Previous Assumption

A recent work proposed that the recent cosmic passage to a cosmic acceleration era is the result of the existence of small anti-gravity sources in each galaxy and clusters of galaxies. In particular, a Swiss-cheese cosmology model, which relativistically integrates the contribution of all these anti-gravity sources on a galactic scale has been constructed assuming the presence of an infrared fixed point for a scale dependent cosmological constant. The derived cosmological expansion provides an explanation for both the fine tuning and the coincidence problem. The present work relaxes the previous assumption on the running of the cosmological constant and allows for a generic scaling around the infrared fixed point. Our analysis reveals that, in order to produce a cosmic evolution consistent with the best ΛCDM model, the IR-running of the cosmological constant is consistent with the presence of an IR-fixed point.

We propose a class of simple dark energy models which predict a late-time dark radiation component and a distinctive time-dependent equation of state w(z) for redshift z < 3. The dark energy field can be coupled strongly enough to standard model particles to be detected in colliders, and the model requires only modest additional particle content and little or no fine-tuning other than a new energy scale of order milli-electron volts.

Abstract Using the fσ8(z) redshift space distortion (RSD) data, the $\sigma _8^0-\Omega _m^0$ tension is studied utilizing a parameterization of growth rate f(z) = Ωm(z)γ. Here, f(z) is derived from the expansion history H(z) which is reconstructed from the observational Hubble data applying the Gaussian Process method. It is found that different priors of H0 have great influences on the evolution curve of H(z) and the constraint of $\sigma _8^0-\Omega _m^0$. When using a larger H0 prior, the low redshifts H(z) deviate significantly from that of the ΛCDM model, which indicates that a dark energy model different from the cosmological constant can help to relax the H0 tension problem. The tension between our best-fit values of $\sigma _8^0-\Omega _m^0$ and that of the Planck 2018 ΛCDM (PLA) will disappear (less than 1σ) when taking a prior for H0 obtained from PLA. Moreover, the tension exceeds 2σ level when applying the prior H0 = 73.52 ± 1.62 km/s/Mpc resulted from the Hubble Space Telescope photometry. By comparing the $S_8 -\Omega _m^0$ planes of our method with the results from KV450+DES-Y1, we find that using our method and applying the RSD data may be helpful to break the parameter degeneracies.
