Interacting ghost dark energy models in the higher dimensional cosmology

We investigate interacting ghost dark energy models in higher dimensional cosmology. We attempt to model dark matter within a barotropic fluid with [Formula: see text]. In this work, we consider four different models based on choosing equation of state (EoS) parameter and interaction term. We confirm that our models agree with observational data.

Supernova constraints on higher-dimensional cosmology with a phantom field

We use observational data on the magnitude-redshift relation for Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) together with constraints on the ages of the oldest stars to rule out a higher-dimensional extension of General Relativity with a negative kinetic energy scalar field. This theory is of considerable physical interest because it produces accelerated expansion at both early and late times with a single new field, as in quintessential inflation scenarios. It is also of mathematical interest because it is characterized by an analytic expression for the macroscopic scale factor [Formula: see text]. We show that cosmological solutions of this theory can be usefully parametrized by a single quantity, the lookback time [Formula: see text] corresponding to the transition from deceleration to acceleration. Supernovae data from the recently released Supernova Cosmology Project (SCP) Union 2.1 compilation single out a narrow range of values for [Formula: see text]. In the context of the theory, however, these same values of [Formula: see text] imply that the universe is much older than the oldest observed stars.

HIGHER DIMENSIONAL COSMOLOGY: RELATIONS AMONG THE RADII OF TWO HOMOGENEOUS SPACES

We study a cosmological model in (1+D+d) dimensions where D dimensions are associated with the usual Friedmann–Robertson–Walker type metric with radio a(t) and d dimensions corresponds to an additional homogeneous space with radio b(t). We make a general analysis of the field equations and then we obtain solutions involving the two cosmological radii, a(t) and b(t). The particular case D = 3, d = 1 is studied in some detail.
