I show that a generic quantum phenomenon can drive cosmic acceleration without the need for dark energy or modified gravity. When treating the universe as a quantum system, one typically focuses on the scale factor (of an FRW spacetime) and ignores many other degrees of freedom. However, the information capacity of the discarded variables will inevitably change as the universe expands, generating quantum bias (QB) in the Friedmann equations [Phys. Lett. A 382, 36, 2555 (2018)|arXiv:1707.05789]. If information could be stored in each Planck-volume independently, this effect would give rise to a constant acceleration $10^{120}$ times larger than that observed, reproducing the usual cosmological constant problem. However, once information capacity is quantified according to the holographic principle, cosmic acceleration is far smaller and depends on the past behaviour of the scale factor. I calculate this holographic quantum bias, derive the semiclassical Friedmann equations, and obtain their general solution for a spatially-flat universe containing matter and radiation. Comparing these QB-CDM solutions to those of $Lambda$CDM, the new theory is shown to be falsifiable, but nonetheless consistent with current observations. In general, realistic QB cosmologies undergo phantom acceleration ($w_mathrm{eff}<-1$) at late times, predicting a Big Rip in the distant future.

In present article we consider an axion F(R) gravity model and described with the help of holographic principle the cosmological models of viscous dark fluid coupled with axion matter in a spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe. This description based on generalized infrared-cutoff holographic dark energy, proposed by Nojiri and Odintsov. We explored the Little Rip, the Pseudo Rip, and the power-law bounce cosmological models in terms of the parameters of the inhomogeneous equation of the state of viscous dark fluid and calculated the infrared cutoffs analytically. We represented the energy conservation equation for the dark fluid from a holographic point of view and showed a correspondence between the cosmology of a viscous fluid and holographic cosmology. We analyzed the autonomous dynamic system. In the absence of interaction between fluids, solutions are obtained corresponding to two cases. In the first case, dark energy is missing and the extension describes the component of dark matter. The second case corresponds to cosmological models with an extension due to dark energy. The solutions obtained are investigated for stability. For a cosmological model with the interaction of a special type, the stability of solutions of the dynamic system is also investigated.
Four-dimensional cosmological models are studied on a boundary of a five-dimensional Anti-de Sitter (AdS_5) black hole with AdS Reissner-Nordstrom and scalar charged Reissner- Nordstrom black hole solutions, where we call the former a Hairless black hole and the latter a Hairy black hole. To obtain the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetime metric on the boundary of the AdS_5 black hole, we employ Eddington-Finkelstein (EF) coordinates to the bulk geometry. We then derive modified Friedmann equations on a boundary of the AdS_5 black hole via AdS/CFT correspondence and discuss its cosmological implications. The late-time acceleration of the universe is investigated in our models. The contributions coming from the bulk side is treated as a dark energy source, and we perform MCMC analyses using observational data. Compared to the LCDM model, our models contain additional free parameters; therefore, to make a fair comparison, we use the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) to analyze our results. Our numerical analyses show that our models can explain the observational data as reliable as the LCDM model does for the current data.
We present a short review of possible applications of the Wheeler-De Witt equation to cosmological models based on the low-energy string effective action, and characterised by an initial regime of asymptotically flat, low energy, weak coupling evolution. Considering in particular a class of duality-related (but classically disconnected) background solutions, we shall discuss the possibility of quantum transitions between the phases of pre-big bang and post-big bang evolution. We will show that it is possible, in such a context, to represent the birth of our Universe as a quantum process of tunneling or anti-tunneling from an initial state asymptotically approaching the string perturbative vacuum.
Lectures by the author at the 1986 Cargese summer school modestly corrected and uploaded for greater accessibility. Some of the authors views on the quantum mechanics of cosmology have changed from those presented here but may still be of historical interest. The material on the Born-Oppenheimer approximation for solving the Wheeler-DeWitt equation and the work on the classical geometry limit and the approximation of quantum field theory in curved spacetime are still of interest and of use.
A Friedmann like cosmological model in Einstein-Cartan framework is studied when the torsion function is assumed to be proportional to a single $phi(t)$ function coming just from the spin vector contribution of ordinary matter. By analysing four different types of torsion function written in terms of one, two and three free parameters, we found that a model with $phi(t)=- alpha H(t) big({rho_{m}(t)}/{rho_{0c}}big)^n$ is totally compatible with recent cosmological data, where $alpha$ and $n$ are free parameters to be constrained from observations, $rho_m$ is the matter energy density and $rho_{0c}$ the critical density. The recent accelerated phase of expansion of the universe is correctly reproduced by the contribution coming from torsion function, with a deceleration parameter indicating a transition redshift of about $0.65$.
