A modified version of the Ozer and Taha nonsingular cosmological model is presented on the assumption that the universes radius is complex if it is regarded as empty, but it contains matter when the radius is real. It also predicts the values: Omega_M =rho_M /rho_C approx 4/3, Omega_V = rho_V /rho_C approx 2/3, and Omega_ = rho_ /rho_C << 1 in the present nonrelativistic era, where rho_M = matter density, rho_V = vacuum density, rho_= negative energy density and rho_{C} = critical density.

In the present paper, we consider a model of non-minimal modified Yang-Mills theory in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology, in which the Yang-Mills field couples to the scalar curvature through a function of its first invariant. We show that cosmic acceleration can be realized due to non-minimal gravitational coupling of the modified Yang-Mills theory. Besides general study, we consider in detail the case of power-law coupling function. We derive the basic equations for the cosmic scale factor in our model, and provide several examples of their solutions.
A spatially homogeneous and locally rotationally symmetric Bianchi type-II cosmological model under the influence of both shear and bulk viscosity has been studied. Exact solutions are obtained with a barotropic equation of state between thermodynamics pressure and the energy density of the fluid, and considering the linear relationships amongst the energy density, the expansion scalar and the shear scalar. Special cases with vanishing bulk viscosity coefficients and with the perfect fluid in the absence of viscosity have also been studied. The formal appearance of the solutions is the same for both the viscous as well as the perfect fluids. The difference is only in choosing a constant parameter which appears in the solutions. In the cases of either a fluid with bulk viscosity alone or a perfect fluid, the barotropic equation of state is no longer an additional assumption to be imposed; rather it follows directly from the field equations.
We propose a modified gravity theory that propagates only two local gravitational degrees of freedom and that does not have an Einstein frame. According to the classification in JCAP 01 (2019) 017 [arXiv:1810.01047 [gr-qc]], this is a type-II minimally modified gravity theory. The theory is characterized by the gravitational constant $G_{rm N}$ and a function $V(phi)$ of a non-dynamical auxiliary field $phi$ that plays the role of dark energy. Once one fixes a homogeneous and isotropic cosmological background, the form of $V(phi)$ is determined and the theory no longer possesses a free parameter or a free function, besides $G_{rm N}$. For $V(phi) = 0$ the theory reduces to general relativity (GR) with $G_N$ being the Newtons constant and $V=const.$ being the cosmological constant. For $V(phi) e 0$, it is shown that gravity behaves differently from GR but that GR with $G_{rm N}$ being the Newtons constant is recovered for weak gravity at distance and time scales sufficiently shorter than the scale associated with $V(phi)$. Therefore this theory provides the simplest framework of cosmology in which deviations from GR can be tested by observational data.
We derive a model of dark energy which evolves with time via the scale factor. The equation of state $omega=(1-2alpha)/(1+2alpha)$ is studied as a function of a parameter $alpha$ introduced in this model. In addition to the recent accelerated expansion, the model predicts another decelerated phase. The age of the universe is found to be almost consistent with observation. In the limiting case, the cosmological constant model, we find that vacuum energy gravitates with a gravitational strength, different than Newtons constant. This enables degravitation of the vacuum energy which in turn produces the tiny observed curvature, rather than a 120 orders of magnitude larger value.
In the context of the recently proposed type-II minimally modified gravity theory, i.e. a metric theory of gravity with two local physical degrees of freedom that does not possess an Einstein frame, we study spherically symmetric vacuum solutions to explore the strong gravity regime. Despite the absence of extra degrees of freedom in the gravity sector, the vacuum solutions are locally different from the Schwarzschild or Schwarzschild-(A)dS metric in general and thus the Birkhoff theorem does not hold. The general solutions are parameterized by several free functions of time and admit regular trapping and event horizons. Depending on the choice of the free functions of time, the null convergence condition may be violated in vacuum. Even in the static limit, while the solutions in this limit reduce to the Schwarzschild or Schwarzschild-(A)dS solutions, the effective cosmological constant deduced from the solutions is in general different from the cosmological value that is determined by the action. Nonetheless, once a set of suitable asymptotic conditions is imposed so that the solutions represent compact objects in the corresponding cosmological setup, the standard Schwarzschild or Schwarzschild-(A)dS metric is recovered and the effective cosmological constant agrees with the value inferred from the action.
