A generic outcome of theories with scalar-tensor coupling is the existence of inflationary attractors, either power-law or de Sitter. The fluctuations arising during this phase are Gaussian and their spectrum depends on the wavenumber $k$…
We perform a dynamical analysis for the exponential scalar field with non-minimally derivative coupling. For the quintessence case, the stable fixed points are the same with and without the non-minimally derivative coupling. For the phantom…

We investigate the cosmological dynamics of a homogeneous scalar field non-minimally coupled to torsion gravity, which also interacts with cold dark matter through energy and momentum transfer. The matter and radiation perfect fluids are…
In this paper we study canonical scalar field models with a varying second slow-roll parameter, that allow transitions between constant-roll eras. In the models with two constant-roll eras it is possible to avoid fine-tunings in the initial…
We propose an Einstein-{\ae}ther scalar-tensor cosmological model. In particular in the scalar-tensor Action Integral we introduce the {\ae}ther field with {\ae}ther coefficients to be functions of the scalar field. This cosmological model…

This work deals with the dynamics of inflation in the context of a scalar-vector-tensor theory of gravity exhibiting spontaneous Lorentz violation at early times. We describe a first-order formalism which we use to obtain new exact Lorentz…
Static spherically symmetric uncoupled scalar space-times have no event horizon and a divergent Kretschmann singularity at the origin of the coordinates. The singularity is always present so that non-static solutions have been sought to see…
