In this Letter it is shown that when the holographic dark energy is combined with the Brans-Dicke field equations the transition from decelerated to accelerated expansion of the Universe can be more easily accounted for than when resort to…
It is shown that holographic cosmology implies an evolving Hubble radius $c^{-1}\dot{R}_H = -1 + 3\Omega_m$ in the presence of a dimensionless matter density $\Omega_m$ scaled to the closure density $3H^2/8\pi G$, where $c$ denotes the…

It is argued that the spatial homogeneity of the early universe need not be explained as having evolved from a previous inhomogeneous state. Rather, a homogeneous cosmic initial condition follows from the Second Law of Thermodynamics…

We study cosmological perturbations in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz Gravity. We consider scalar metric fluctuations about a homogeneous and isotropic space-time. Starting from the most general metric, we work out the complete second order action for…
The Einstein equations for an inhomogeneous irrotational dust universe are analysed. A set of mild assumptions, all of which are shared by the standard FLRW type scenarios, results in a model that depends only on the distribution of scalar…
