Starting from the Poincare Gauge principle and a Starobinsky-Yang-Mills type Lagrangian a model of dark energy is developed. In order to evade any unnecessary controversy regarding frames (i.e. Einstein .vs. Jordan) the theory is treated…

The possibility of explanation of accelerated expansion of the Universe by tachyonic scalar fields which homogeneously fill the world is discussed. The dependences of potential and kinetic term on scale factor are deduced for the case of…
A hybrid three-form model of dark energy is developed in order to identify scaling solutions, a long-sought feature in three-form cosmology. Exploiting Hodge dualities, the theory is formulated in terms of two scalar functions that are…
We investigate non phantom tracker scalar field models as dynamical dark energy scenario. These models can alleviate the cosmic coincidence problem and transition to a cosmological constant-like behaviour at late times. Focusing on the…
We derive the equation of matter density perturbations on sub-horizon scales for a general Lagrangian density f(R, phi, X) that is a function of a Ricci scalar R, a scalar field phi and a kinetic term X=-(nabla phi)^2/2. This is useful to…
We develop a cosmological model based on action-dependent Lagrangian theories. The main feature here is the nonconservation of the energy momentum tensor due to the nontrivial geometrical construction of the theory. We provide the basic set…
We propose a cosmological scenario involving a scalar field, $\varphi$, that is a source of Dark Matter as well as of Dark Energy. Besides $\varphi$, the Lagrangian of the field theory envisaged in our scenario contains a second field…
In the present work the power spectrum of a particular class of tachyon fields is compared with the one corresponding to a cosmological constant model. This is done for different barotropic indexes $\gamma_0$ and the background space time…
We study dynamics of generalized tachyon scalar field in the framework of teleparallel gravity. This model is an extension of tachyonic teleparallel dark energy model which has been proposed in [26]. In contrast with tachyonic teleparallel…
The effective evolution of an inhomogeneous universe model in any theory of gravitation may be described in terms of spatially averaged variables. In Einstein's theory, restricting attention to scalar variables, this evolution can be…
We study the perturbed equation of state (EOS) parameters of the cosmological tachyonic scalar field components and their mutual time-dependent interaction. It is shown that the discrete temperature-dependent pattern of the EOS emerges from…
We show that, in generic higher-order scalar-tensor theories which avoid the Ostrogradsky instability, the presence of a scalar field significantly modifies the propagation of matter perturbations, even in weakly curved backgrounds. This…
A broad class of dark energy models can be written in the form of k-essence, whose Lagrangian density is a two-variable function of a scalar field $\phi$ and its kinetic energy $X\equiv \frac{1}{2}\partial^\mu\phi \partial_\mu\phi$. In the…

Over the last few years, it was realised that non-canonical scalar fields can lead to the accelerated expansion in the early universe. The primordial spectrum in these scenarios not only shows near scale-invariance consistent with CMB…
