AbstractIn this article, we investigated a generalised scalar field cosmology characterised by a time-dependent coupling function, a time-dependent cosmological constant, a chameleonic field, and a time-dependent equation of state parameter. Based on a particular choice of the Hubble parameter as function of the scalar field and its time derivative, we have investigated the dynamics of the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker flat universe. We have observed that for a particular choice of the free parameters in the theory, the universe accelerates with time and asymptotically tends toward a static universe. For specific values of the free parameters, the asymptotically static universe may be dominated by phantom energy or a cosmological constant without the need to implement in the theory multiple scalar fields or additional interactions. It is also pointed out that an asymptotically static universe is as well one special class of solutions for Horndeski and generalised galileons cosmologies. Special properties and features are discussed accordingly.

This paper is devoted to study the scalar field dark energy models by taking its different aspects in the framework off(R,∇R)gravity. We consider flat FRW universe to construct the equation of state parameter governed byf(R,∇R)gravity. The stability of the model is discussed with the help of squared speed of sound parameter. It is found that models show quintessence behavior of the universe in stable as well as unstable modes. We also develop the correspondence off(R,∇R)model with some scalar field dark energy models like quintessence, tachyonic field,k-essence, dilaton, hessence, and DBI-essence. The nature of scalar fields and corresponding scalar potentials is being analyzed inf(R,∇R)gravity graphically which show consistency with the present day observations about accelerated phenomenon.

Abstract In this study, we have constructed a viable cosmological model characterized by the presence of the Gauss–Bonnet four-dimensional invariant, higher-order corrections to the low energy effective action motivated from heterotic superstring theory and a general exponential potential comparable to those obtained in higher dimensional supergravities. The field equations were studied by assuming a particular relation between the Hubble parameter and the time derivative of the scalar field. It was observed that, for specific relations between the free parameters in the theory, the universe is cyclic, expands and contracts alternately without singularity with an equation of state oscillating around −1. The model is found to fit the recent astrophysical data.

In an attempt to reconcile the large number hypothesis (LNH) with Einstein's theory of gravitation, a tentative generalization of Einstein's field equations with time-dependent cosmological and gravitational constants is proposed. A cosmological model consistent with the LNH is deduced. The coupling formula of the cosmological constant with matter is found, and as a consequence, the time-dependent formulae of the cosmological constant and the mean matter density of the Universe at the present epoch are then found. Einstein's theory of gravitation, whether with a zero or nonzero cosmological constant, becomes a limiting case of the new generalized field equations after the early epoch.

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.

By studying the chameleon model during inflation, we investigate whether it can be a successful inflationary model, wherein we employ the common typical potential usually used in the literature. Thus, in the context of the slow-roll approximations, we obtain the e-folding number for the model to verify the ability of resolving the problems of standard big bang cosmology. Meanwhile, we apply the constraints on the form of the chosen potential and also on the equation of state parameter coupled to the scalar field. However, the results of the present analysis show that there is not much chance of having the chameleonic inflation. Hence, we suggest that if through some mechanism the chameleon model can be reduced to the standard inflationary model, then it may cover the whole era of the universe from the inflation up to the late time.

The universe evolution from inflation to late-time acceleration is investigated in a unified way, using a two-component fluid constituted from extended Chaplygin gas alongside a phantom scalar field. We extract solutions for the various cosmological eras, focusing on the behavior of the scale factor, the various density parameters and the equation-of-state parameter. Furthermore, we extract and discuss bouncing solutions. Finally, we examine the perturbations of the model, ensuring their stability and extracting the predictions for the tensor-to-scalar ratio.

Recent many physicists suggest that the dark energy in the universe might result from the Born–Infeld (B–I) type scalar field of string theory. The universe of B–I type scalar field with potential can undergo a phase of accelerating expansion. The corresponding equation of state parameter lies in the range of -1<ω<-⅓. The equation of state parameter of B–I type scalar field without potential lies in the range of 0≤ω≤1. We find that weak energy condition and strong energy condition are violated for phantom B–I type scalar field. The equation of state parameter lies in the range of ω<-1.

Recent results on supernovae as standard candles (Riess et al. 1998; Perlmutter et al. 1999) and on CMB anisotropy (Lineweaver 1998) indicate that ΩM ≍ 0.3-0.4, Ωv ≍ 0.6-0.7, ΩM + Ωv ≍ 1. By definition, ΩM = ρM/ρcr, ΩV = ρv/ρcr, where ρM is the matter density, ρv is the vacuum density; the critical density ρcr = 3H2/8πG; H is the Hubble parameter, G is the gravitational constant. In the standard Friedmann-Lemaître cosmologies, these results seriously constrain the non-dimensional cosmological constant (as defined below): Δ ≫ 1, meaning that the Universe expands forever. If a scalar field is present, the future evolution may be different.

Dimming mechanisms based on the conversion of photons into axions have been recently suggested which could justify the observation of equation of state values w = P/ρ less than -1 that do not correspond to the presence of phantom energy in the universe. It is argued that, though such a mechanism may in fact increase the actual value of w, it does not actually solve the phantom problem because the produced axions precisely are of the kind which has been considered to make up phantom energy and therefore the suggested mechanism can never make the actual value of w to exactly reach the value -1 from below, such as it also happens with other suggested mechanisms intended to get rid of phantoms from cosmology. It is conjectured that the actual current value of w must likely be less than -1 but so close to it that present observational accuracies could not allow discriminating between a cosmological constant and the phantom energy as the form currently taken by dark energy in the universe.
