Cosmological Consequence

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.

Fields which couple directly to the cosmological constant (Λ) may provide a scenario for explaining the smallness of Λ at the present epoch. In this paper we postulate the existence of a scalar field which couples universally to the trace of energy—momentum tensor of matter. Various possibilities for the explicit form of the coupling function are considered. The field equations in such a theory are derived, and the cosmological models with such a scalar field are analyzed. The proposed coupling makes the effective cosmological constant a dynamically evolving quantity, which can be driven to zero by allowing the scalar field to grow to sufficiently large values. For the case of linear coupling, however, it does not seem to be possible to attain sufficient growth during the age of the universe (~1017 s ). A quadratic coupling to the trace can evolve Λ to a value consistent with today’s observations, but the universe is dominated by the scalar field, rather than by radiation, at late times. The evolution is singular for couplings through a higher power law, in that the scalar field blows up at a finite time. The model is not very sensitive to initial conditions and the problems encountered can be avoided only by a severe fine-tuning of the parameters in the basic theory.

The field equations in the neighbourhood of a particle for a spherically symmetric metric in the conformal theory of gravitation put forward by Hoyle & Narlikar are examined. As the theory is conformally invariant, one can use different but physically equivalent conformal frames to study the equations. Previously these equations were studied in a conformal frame which, though suitable far away from the isolated particle, turns out not to be suitable in the neighbourhood of the particle. In the present paper a solution in a conformal frame is obtained that is suitable for considering regions near the particle. The solution thus obtained differs from the previous one in several respects. For example, it has no coordinate singularity for any non-zero value of the radial variable, unlike the previous solution or the Schwarzschild solution. It is also shown with the use of this solution that in this theory distant matter has an effect on local geometry.

From a variational action with nonminimal coupling with a scalar field and classical scalar and fermionic interaction, cosmological field equations can be obtained. Imposing a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) metric, the equations lead directly to a cosmological model consisting of two interacting fluids, where the scalar field fluid is interpreted as dark energy and the fermionic field fluid is interpreted as dark matter. Several cases were studied analytically and numerically. An important feature of the non-minimal coupling is that it allows crossing the barrier from a quintessence to phantom behavior. The insensitivity of the solutions to one of the parameters of the model permits it to find an almost analytical solution for the cosmological constant type of universe.

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.

In this paper, we obtain an anisotropic Bianchi type-II space-time with dark matter and the modified holographic Ricci dark energy in the scale-covariant theory of gravitation. Exact solutions of the field equations are obtained by assuming (I) a negative constant value of the deceleration parameter (II) the component σ<sup>1</sup><sub>1</sub> of the shear tensor σ<sup>j</sup><sub>i</sub> is proportional to the mean Hubble parameter and (III) the gauge function Φ is proportional to a power function of the average scale factor. We have also discussed some important physical aspects of the model which is in agreement with the modern cosmological observations.

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.

The variational field equations of Brans–Dicke scalar-tensor theory of gravitation are given in a non-Riemannian setting in the language of exterior differential forms over four-dimensional spacetimes. A conformally rescaled Robinson–Trautman metric together with the Brans–Dicke scalar field are used to characterize algebraically special Robinson–Trautman spacetimes. All the relevant tensors are worked out in a complex null basis and given explicitly in an appendix for future reference. Some special families of solutions are also given and discussed.

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.

In this paper, we have derived the general solutions of the field equations of the Scalar–Tensor theory of gravitation, proposed by Brans and Dicke (1961) within the framework of a locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) metric. We have discussed the anisotropic dark energy models by assuming the time-dependent general scale factor [Formula: see text]. Further, we have discussed the physical and geometric behaviors of the model using different forms of the scale factors. We have also performed a comparative study of the results obtained in various cases. We have observed that the solutions obtained using Hybrid Expansion Law (HEL) are more consistent with recent observations as compared to the rest. Stability of the solutions is also compared using metric perturbations.

The recent OPERA experiment of superluminal neutrinos has deep consequences in cosmology. In cosmology a fundamental constant is the cosmological constant. From observations one can estimate the effective cosmological constant Λ eff which is the sum of the quantum zero point energy Λ dark energy and the geometric cosmological constant Λ. The OPERA experiment can be applied to determine the geometric cosmological constant Λ. It is the first study to distinguish the contributions of Λ and Λ dark energy from each other by experiment. The determination is based on an explanation of the OPERA experiment in the framework of Special Relativity with de Sitter spacetime symmetry.
