In this study, we have investigated the dark energy behavior of the viscus-fluid in [Formula: see text]-gravity in a flat, isotropic and homogeneous Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) space-time metric. We have considered the linear form of [Formula: see text] function as [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as model parameters. We have solved the field equations for the scale factor [Formula: see text] and found [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is an integrating constant, [Formula: see text] is the EoS for normal matter and [Formula: see text] is generated from bulk-viscus fluid. We have calculated the several cosmological parameters for this scale factor and studied their physical and geometrical behavior along the observational data sets [Formula: see text] and Union [Formula: see text] compilation of SNe Ia data sets. We have observed that the [Formula: see text] factor reveals the presence of cosmological constant and for [Formula: see text], the acceleration drives by the bulk-viscosity of the fluid and it behaves just like dark energy model without cosmological constant. We have studied the effective EoS [Formula: see text] and found [Formula: see text]. We have evaluated the age of the present universe as [Formula: see text] Gyrs. and also, we have studied the nature of deceleration parameter with the signature-flipping point at [Formula: see text] and the present value of deceleration parameter [Formula: see text] is obtained as [Formula: see text].

In view of late-time cosmic acceleration, a dark energy cosmological model is revisited wherein Einstein’s cosmological constant is considered as a candidate of dark energy. Exact solution of Einstein field equations (EFEs) is derived in a homogeneous isotropic background in classical general relativity. The solution procedure is adopted in a model-independent way (or the cosmological parametrization). A simple parametrization of the Hubble parameter (H) as a function of cosmic time t is considered which yields an exponential type of evolution of the scale factor (a) and also shows a negative value of deceleration parameter at the present time with a signature flip from early deceleration to late acceleration. Cosmological dynamics of the model obtained have been discussed illustratively for different phases of the evolution of the universe. The evolution of different cosmological parameters is shown graphically for flat and closed cases of Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) spacetime for the presented model (open case is incompatible to the present scenario). We have also constrained our model parameters with the updated (36 points) observational Hubble dataset.

Dark energy is some of the weirdest and most mysterious stuff in the universe that tends to increase the rate of expansion of the universe. Two commonly known forms of dark energy are the cosmological constant, a constant energy density filling space homogeneously, and scalar fields such as quintessence or moduli whose energy density can vary with time. We explore one particular model for dynamic dark energy: quintessence driven by a scalar dilaton field. We propose an ansatz for the form of the dilaton field, |ϕ(a)|mP ≡ α1 ln t + α2tn = α ln a + βa2ζ, where a is the scale factor and α and ζ are parameters of the model. This phenomenological ansatz for ϕ can be motivated by generic solutions of a scalar dilaton field in many effective string theory and string-inspired gravity models in four dimensions. Most of the earlier discussions in the literature correspond to the choice that ζ = 0 so that ϕ(t) ∝ ln t or ϕ(t) ∝ ln a(t). Using a compilation of current data including type Ia supernovae, we impose observational constraints on the slope parameters like α and ζ and then discuss the relation of our results to analytical constraints on various cosmological parameters, including the dark energy equation of state. Some useful constraints are imposed on model parameters like α and ζ as well as on the dark energy/dark matter couplings using results from structure formation. The constraints of this model are shown to encompass the cosmological constant limit within 1σ error bars.

In the framework of Brans-Dicke (BD) theory of gravitation, the time dependence of some cosmological parameters have been determined in the present study, for an universe having a FRW space-time with zero spatial curvature. The time variations of the energy density, BD parameter, equation of state (EoS) parameter have been determined, from the field equations of the BD theory, in the initial part of this model. For this purpose, we have used ansatzes relating the scalar field with the scale factor and also linking the BD parameter with the scalar field. For these calculations, an empirical expression for the scale factor has been used. This scale factor has been so chosen that it leads to a signature flip of the deceleration parameter from positive to negative in the course of its evolution with time, indicating a change of phase from decelerated expansion to accelerated expansion. Time dependence of the density parameters for matter and dark energy has also been studied here. Using their expressions we have determined the time dependence of the densities of matter and dark energy. The time variations of all these parameters have been shown graphically. Apart from them, we have also shown the variations of the deceleration parameter and the BD parameter as functions of the scalar field graphically.

Xu et al. (Eur. Phys. J. C 79 (2019) 708) have anticipated the theory of Gravity. The modified study of [Formula: see text] is elucidated here as Cosmological model. In it the action holds a role as a capricious arbitrary function [Formula: see text]. At this juncture [Formula: see text] functions as non-metricity and for matter fluid, [Formula: see text] outlines as energy-momentum tensor. The function [Formula: see text] quadratic in [Formula: see text] and linear in [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text] has been taken as our research in which [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] stand as model parameters, induced by [Formula: see text] gravity. A range of cosmological parameters have been attained by us such as in Universe viz. Hubble parameter [Formula: see text], Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker (FLRW), deceleration parameter [Formula: see text], etc. in terms of scale-factor and in terms of redshift [Formula: see text] by confining to the law of energy-conservation. The fittest values of the model parameters have been acquired by us as the observational constrictions on the model, by utilizing the accessible data sets like Hubble data sets [Formula: see text], union 2.1 compilation of SNe Ia data sets and Joint Light Curve Analysis (JLA) data sets. We have applied [Formula: see text]-test formula. The values of various observational parameters have been premeditated by us viz. [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and state finder parameters [Formula: see text]. They are absolutely very close to the standard cosmological models. It has also been observed by us that the deceleration parameter [Formula: see text] exhibits signature-flipping (transition) point within the range [Formula: see text]. It is observed that it changes its phase from decelerated to accelerated expanding universe with equation of state (EoS) [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text].

In this paper, we study spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-V and IX universes filled with interacting dark matter and holographic dark energy. We obtained the solution of the field equations by using the variable deceleration parameter in the form [Formula: see text]. The cosmological parameters of the models like deceleration and equation of state are obtained. We observe that the deceleration parameter tends to [Formula: see text] which shows an accelerated universe, and the equation of state tends to [Formula: see text] which belongs to [Formula: see text]CDM model. Moreover, we establish the correspondence between holographic dark energy model and quintessence scalar field.

In this work, we aim to show the possibilities of the variable speed of light (VSL) theory in explaining the type Ia supernovae (SNe) observations without introducing dark energy. The speed of light is assumed to be scale factor-dependent, which is the most popular assumption in VSL theory. We show the modified calculation of the distance modulus and the validity of the redshift-scale factor relation in VSL theory. Three different models of VSL are tested SNe data-sets with proper constraints on the model parameters. The comparison of the three models and flat ΛCDM in distance modulus is showed. Some basic problems and the difficulties of the confirmation of the VSL theory are also discussed.

In the present article, we investigate the physical acceptability of the spatially homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann–Lemâitre–Robertson–Walker line element filled with two fluids, with the first being pressureless matter and the second being different types of holographic dark energy. This geometric and material content is considered within the gravitational field equations of the f(T,B) (where T is the torsion scalar and the B is the boundary term) gravity in Hubble’s cut-off. The cosmological parameters, such as the Equation of State (EoS) parameter, during the cosmic evolution, are calculated. The models are stable throughout the universe expansion. The region in which the model is presented is dependent on the real parameter δ of holographic dark energies. For all δ≥4.5, the models vary from ΛCDM era to the quintessence era.

AbstractIn this paper, we have investigated Tsallis holographic dark energy (infrared cutoff is the Hubble radius) in homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-III Universe within the framework of Saez–Ballester scalar–tensor theory of gravitation. We have constructed non-interaction and interaction dark energy models by solving the Saez–Ballester field equations. To solve the field equations, we assume a relationship between the metric potentials of the model. We developed the various cosmological parameters (namely deceleration parameter q, equation of state parameter $$\omega _t$$ ω t , squared sound speed $$v_s^2$$ v s 2 , om-diagnostic parameter Om(z) and scalar field $$\phi $$ ϕ ) and well-known cosmological planes (namely $$\omega _t-\omega _t^{'}$$ ω t - ω t ′ plane, where $$'$$ ′ denotes derivative with respect to ln(a) and statefinders ($$r-s$$ r - s ) plane) and analyzed their behavior through graphical representation for our both the models. It is also, quite interesting to mention here that the obtained results are coincide with the modern observational data.

The solution of the field equations of the conformal theory of gravitation with Dirac scalar field in Cartan-Weyl spacetime at the very early Universe is obtained. In this theory dark energy (described by an effective cosmological constant) is a function of the Dirac scalar field β. This solution describes the exponential decreasing of β at the inflation stage and has a limit to a constant value of the dark energy at large time. This can give a way to solving the fundamental cosmological constant problem as a consequence of the fields dynamics in the early Universe.

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.
