We discuss the most general field equations for cosmological spacetimes for theories of gravity based on non-linear extensions of the non-metricity scalar and the torsion scalar. Our approach is based on a systematic symmetry-reduction of the metric-affine geometry which underlies these theories. While for the simplest conceivable case the connection disappears from the field equations and one obtains the Friedmann equations of General Relativity, we show that in $f(mathbb{Q})$ cosmology the connection generically modifies the metric field equations and that some of the connection components become dynamical. We show that $f(mathbb{Q})$ cosmology contains the exact General Relativity solutions and also exact solutions which go beyond. In $f(mathbb{T})$~cosmology, however, the connection is completely fixed and not dynamical.

We investigate the qualitative evolution of (D+1)-dimensional cosmological models in f(R) gravity for the general case of the function f(R). The analysis is specified for various examples, including the (D+1)-dimensional generalization of the Starobi nsky model, models with polynomial and exponential functions. The cosmological dynamics are compared in the Einstein and Jordan representations of the corresponding scalar-tensor theory. The features of the cosmological evolution are discussed for Einstein frame potentials taking negative values in certain regions of the field space.

The simplest possible classical model leading to a cosmological bounce is examined in the light of the non-Gaussianities it can generate. Concentrating solely on the transition between contraction and expansion, and assuming initially purely Gaussian perturbations at the end of the contracting phase, we find that the bounce acts as a source such that the resulting value for the post-bounce $f_{mathrm{NL}}$ may largely exceed all current limits, to the point of potentially casting doubts on the validity of the perturbative expansion. We conjecture that if one can assume that the non-Gaussianity production depends only on the bouncing behavior of the scale factor and not on the specifics of the model examined, then many realistic models in which a nonsingular classical bounce takes place could exhibit a generic non-Gaussianity excess problem that would need to be addressed for each case.

We consider gravity theory with varying speed of light and varying gravitational constant. Both constants are represented by non-minimally coupled scalar fields. We examine the cosmological evolution in the near curvature singularity regime. We find that at the curvature singularity the speed of light goes to infinity while the gravitational constant vanishes. This corresponds to the Newtons Mechanics limit represented by one of the vertex of the Bronshtein-Zelmanov-Okun cube. The cosmological evolution includes both the pre-big-bang and post-big-bang phases separated by the curvature singularity. We also investigate the quantum counterpart of the considered theory and find the probability of transition of the universe from the collapsing pre-big-bang phase to the expanding post-big-bang phase.
In this paper the dynamics of free gauge fields in Bianchi type I-VII$_{h}$ space-times is investigated. The general equations for a matter sector consisting of a $p$-form field strength ($p,in,{1,3}$), a cosmological constant ($4$-form) and perfect fluid in Bianchi type I-VII$_{h}$ space-times are computed using the orthonormal frame method. The number of independent components of a $p$-form in all Bianchi types I-IX are derived and, by means of the dynamical systems approach, the behaviour of such fields in Bianchi type I and V are studied. Both a local and a global analysis are performed and strong global results regarding the general behaviour are obtained. New self-similar cosmological solutions appear both in Bianchi type I and Bianchi type V, in particular, a one-parameter family of self-similar solutions,Wonderland ($lambda$) appears generally in type V and in type I for $lambda=0$. Depending on the value of the equation of state parameter other new stable solutions are also found (The Rope and The Edge) containing a purely spatial field strength that rotates relative to the co-moving inertial tetrad. Using monotone functions, global results are given and the conditions under which exact solutions are (global) attractors are found.
We study general dynamical equations describing homogeneous isotropic cosmologies coupled to a scalaron $psi$. For flat cosmologies ($k=0$), we analyze in detail the gauge-independent equation describing the differential, $chi(alpha)equivpsi^prime(al pha)$, of the map of the metric $alpha$ to the scalaron field $psi$, which is the main mathematical characteristic locally defining a `portrait of a cosmology in `$alpha$-version. In the `$psi$-version, a similar equation for the differential of the inverse map, $bar{chi}(psi)equiv chi^{-1}(alpha)$, can be solved asymptotically or for some `integrable scalaron potentials $v(psi)$. In the flat case, $bar{chi}(psi)$ and $chi(alpha)$ satisfy the first-order differential equations depending only on the logarithmic derivative of the potential. Once we know a general analytic solution for one of these $chi$-functions, we can explicitly derive all characteristics of the cosmological model. In the $alpha$-version, the whole dynamical system is integrable for $k eq 0$ and with any `$alpha$-potential, $bar{v}(alpha)equiv v[psi(alpha)]$, replacing $v(psi)$. There is no a priori relation between the two potentials before deriving $chi$ or $bar{chi}$, which implicitly depend on the potential itself, but relations between the two pictures can be found by asymptotic expansions or by inflationary perturbation theory. Explicit applications of the results to a more rigorous treatment of the chaotic inflation models and to their comparison with the ekpyrotic-bouncing ones are outlined in the frame of our `$alpha$-formulation of isotropic scalaron cosmologies. In particular, we establish an inflationary perturbation expansion for $chi$. When all the conditions for inflation are satisfied and $chi$ obeys a certain boundary (initial) condition, we get the standard inflationary parameters, with higher-order corrections.
