Brane-world models offer the possibility of explaining the late acceleration of the universe via infra-red modifications to General Relativity, rather than a dark energy field. However, one also expects ultra-violet modifications to General Relativity, when high-energy stringy effects in the early universe begin to grow. We generalize the DGP brane-world model via an ultra-violet modification, in the form of a Gauss-Bonnet term in the bulk action. The combination of infra-red and ultra-violet modifications produces an intriguing cosmology. The DGP feature of late-time acceleration without dark energy is preserved, but there is an entirely new feature - there is no hot big bang in the early universe. The universe starts with finite density and pressure, from a sudden curvature singularity.
We have developed an accelerating cosmological model for the present universe which is phantom for the period $ (0 leq z leq 1.99)$ and quintessence phase for $(1.99 leq z leq 2.0315)$. The universe is assumed to be filled with barotropic and dark energy(DE) perfect fluid in which DE interact with matter. For a deceleration parameter(DP) having decelerating-accelerating transition phase of universe, we assume hybrid expansion law for scale factor. The transition red shift for the model is obtained as $z_t = 0.956$. The model satisfies current observational constraints.
Big bang of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW)-brane universe is studied. In contrast to the spacelike initial singularity of the usual FRW universe, the initial singularity of the FRW-brane universe is point-like from the viewpoint of causality including gravitational waves propagating in the bulk. Existence of null singularities (seam singuralities) is also shown in the flat and open FRW-brane universe models.
We study Kaluza-Klein cosmology in cuscuton gravity and find an exact solution describing an accelerating 4-dimensional universe with a stable extra dimension. A cuscuton which is a non-dynamical scalar field is responsible for the accelerating expansion and a vector field makes the extra dimensional space stable. Remarkably, the accelerating universe in our model is not exactly de Sitter.
In this paper, we have proposed a model of accelerating Universe with binary mixture of bulk viscous fluid and dark energy. and probed the model parameters: present values of Hubbles constant $H_{0}$, Equation of state paper of dark energy $omega_{de}$ and density parameter of dark energy $(Omega_{de})_{0}$ with recent OHD as well as joint Pantheon compilation of SN Ia data and OHD. Using cosmic chronometric technique, we obtain $H_{0} = 69.80 pm 1.64~km~s^{-1}Mpc^{-1}$ and $70.0258 pm 1.72~km~s^{-1}Mpc^{-1}$ by restricting our derived model with recent OHD and joint Pantheon compilation SN Ia data and OHD respectively. The age of the Universe in derived model is estimated as $t_{0} = 13.82 pm 0.33; Gyrs$. Also, we observe that derived model represents a model of transitioning Universe with transition redshift $z_{t} = 0.7286$. We have constrained the present value of jerk parameter as $j_{0} = 0.969 pm 0.0075$ with joint OHD and Pantheon data. From this analysis, we observed that the model of the Universe, presented in this paper shows a marginal departure from $Lambda$CDM model.
We present a simplified dynamic-vacuum-energy model for a time-symmetric Milne-like universe. The big bang singularity in this simplified model, like the one in a previous model, is just a coordinate singularity with finite curvature and energy density. We then calculate the dynamic behavior of scalar metric perturbations and find that these perturbations destabilize the big bang singularity.
