Accelerating Expansion

The f(G) gravity is a theory to modify the general relativity and it can explain the present cosmic accelerating expansion without the need of dark energy. In this paper the f(G) gravity is tested with the energy conditions. Using the Raychaudhuri equation along with the requirement that the gravity is attractive in the FRW background, we obtain the bounds on f(G) from the SEC and NEC. These bounds can also be found directly from the SEC and NEC within the general relativity context by the transformations: ρ → ρm + ρE and p → pm + pE, where ρE and pE are the effective energy density and pressure in the modified gravity. With these transformations, the constraints on f(G) from the WEC and DEC are obtained. Finally, we examine two concrete examples with WEC and obtain the allowed region of model parameters.

Matter Perturbation

The growth rate of matter perturbation and the expansion rate of the Universe can be used to distinguish modified gravity and dark energy models. Remarkably, the growth rate can be approximated as Ωγ. We discuss the dependence of the growth index γ on the dimensionless matter energy density Ω for a more accurate approximation of the growth factor. The observational data are used to fit different models. The data strongly disfavor the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model. For the ΛCDM model, we find that [Formula: see text]. For the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model, we find that [Formula: see text].

Recently, Tsallis, Rényi, and Sharma-Mittal entropies have widely been used to study the gravitational and cosmological setups. We consider a flat FRW universe with linear interaction between dark energy and dark matter. We discuss the dark energy models using Tsallis, Rényi, and Sharma-Mittal entropies in the framework of Chern-Simons modified gravity. We explore various cosmological parameters (equation of state parameter, squared sound of speed ) and cosmological plane (ωd-ωd′, where ωd′ is the evolutionary equation of state parameter). It is observed that the equation of state parameter gives quintessence-like nature of the universe in most of the cases. Also, the squared speed of sound shows stability of Tsallis and Rényi dark energy model but unstable behavior for Sharma-Mittal dark energy model. The ωd-ωd′ plane represents the thawing region for all dark energy models.

We discuss the interacting modified QCD ghost dark energy and generalized ghost pilgrim dark energy with cold dark matter in the framework of dynamical Chern–Simons modified gravity. We investigate the cosmological parameters such as Hubble parameter, deceleration parameter and equation of state. We also discuss the physical significance of various cosmological planes like [Formula: see text] and statefinders. It is found that the results of cosmological parameters as well as planes explain the accelerated expansion of the Universe and are compatible with observational data.
