In this work, I have considered that the universe is filled with normal matter and phantom field (or tachyonic field). If the universe is filled with scalar field, Ellis et al have shown that emergent scenario is possible only for $k=+1$…
We study a minimally coupled tachyon field rolling down to its ground state on the FRW brane. We construct tacyonic potential which can implements power law inflation in the brane world cosmology. The potential turns out to be ${V_0…
Motivated by the work of Granda and Oliveros [L.N. Granda, A. Oliveros, Phys. Lett. B {\bf 671}, 199 (2009)], we generalize their work to the non-flat case. We study the correspondence between the quintessence, tachyon, K-essence and…
We consider the cosmological evolution of a bulk scalar field and ordinary matter living on the brane world in the light of the constraints imposed by the matter dominated cosmological evolution and a small cosmological constant now. We…
The dynamical behavior of tachyon field with an inverse potential is investigated in loop quantum cosmology. It reveals that the late time behavior of tachyon field with this potential leads to a power-law expansion. In addition, an…
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…
We demonstrate that if k-essence can solve the coincidence problem and play the role of dark energy in the universe, the fluctuations of the field have to propagate superluminally at some stage. We argue that this implies that successful…
We discuss construction of classical time dependent solutions in open string (field) theory, describing the motion of the tachyon on unstable D-branes. Despite the fact that the string field theory action contains infinite number of time…
The cosmological effects of the tachyon rolling down to its ground state are discussed by coupling a simple effective field theory for the tachyon field to Einstein gravity. As the tachyon rolls down to the minimum of its potential the…
We obtain lagrangian for $k$-essence scalar field $\phi(r,t)$ with scalar curvature $k$ of Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric . Obtained lagrangian has two generalised co-ordinates $\phi$ and logarithm of scale factor ($q=\ln…
We begin by reviewing the results on the decay of unstable D-branes in type II string theory, and the open-closed string duality proposal that arises from these studies. We then apply this proposal to the study of tachyon driven cosmology,…
We investigate whether a tachyonic scalar field, encompassing both dark energy and dark matter-like features will drive our universe towards a Big Brake singularity or a de Sitter expansion. In doing this it is crucial to establish the…
In the present work we analyze the g-essence model for the particular Lagrangian: $L=R+2[\alpha X^n+\epsilon Y-V(\psi,\bar{\psi})]$. The g-essence models were proposed recently as an alternative and as a generalization to the scalar…
We present a cosmological landscape where the classical closed string tachyon field plays an important role in the framework of a critical bosonic compactification. Our cosmological solutions for a universe with constant curvature describes…
We define a generalization of scalar fields with non-canonical kinetic term which we call exotic k-essence or briefly, exotik. These fields are generated by the global description of cosmological models with two interactive fluids in the…
We consider an extension of the Randall-Sundrum model with three parallel 3-branes in a 5-dimensional spacetime. This new construction, apart from providing a solution to the Planck hierarchy problem, has the advantage that the SM fields…
It has been conjectured that at the stationary point of the tachyon potential for the D-brane-anti-D-brane pair or for the non-BPS D-brane of superstring theories, the negative energy density cancels the brane tensions. We study this…
We study the cosmology of a two-brane model in a five-dimensional spacetime, where the extra spatial coordinate is compactifed on an orbifold. Additionally, we consider the existence on each brane of matter fields that evolve in time.…
We study the cosmological evolution of a D3-brane Universe in a type 0 string background. We follow the brane-universe along the radial coordinate of the background and we calculate the energy density which is induced on the brane because…
In this letter, we have assumed that the Universe is filled in tachyonic field with potential, which gives the acceleration of the Universe. For certain choice of potential, we have found the exact solutions of the field equations. We have…
