Universe Evolution in a 5D Ricci-flat Cosmology

Abstract

We use Wetterich's parameterization equation of state (EOS) of dark energy to a 5D5D Ricci-flat cosmological solution and we suppose the universe contains three major components: matter, radiation and dark energy. By using the relation between the scale factor and the redshift zz, we show that the two arbitrary functions contained in the 5D5D solution could be solved out analytically in terms of the variable zz. Thus the whole 5D5D solution could be constructed uniquely if the current values of the three density parameters Ωm0\Omega_{m0}, Ωr0{\Omega_{r0}}, Ωx0\Omega_{x0}, the EOS w0w_{0}%, and the bending parameter bb contained in the EOS are all known. Furthermore, we find that all the evolutions of the mass density Ωm\Omega_{m} , the radiation density Ωr{\Omega_{r}}, the dark energy density Ωx\Omega_{x}, and the deceleration parameter qq depend on the bending parameter bb sensitively. Therefore it is deserved to study observational constraints on the bending parameter bb.
