Universe Evolution in a 5D Ricci-flat Cosmology
Abstract
We use Wetterich's parameterization equation of state (EOS) of dark energy to a 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 , we show that the two arbitrary functions contained in the solution could be solved out analytically in terms of the variable . Thus the whole solution could be constructed uniquely if the current values of the three density parameters , , , the EOS %, and the bending parameter contained in the EOS are all known. Furthermore, we find that all the evolutions of the mass density , the radiation density , the dark energy density , and the deceleration parameter depend on the bending parameter sensitively. Therefore it is deserved to study observational constraints on the bending parameter .
