A flat Friedmann universe filled with a mixture of anti-Chaplygin gas and dust-like matter evolves into a future soft singularity, where despite infinite tidal forces the geodesics can be continued. In the singularity the pressure of the…
Both dark energy models and modified gravity theories could lead to cosmological evolutions different from either the recollapse into a Big Crunch or exponential de Sitter expansion. The newly arising singularities may represent true…
We investigate particular cosmological models, based either on tachyon fields or on perfect fluids, for which soft future singularities arise in a natural way. Our main result is the description of a smooth crossing of the soft singularity…

In this paper the accelerating expansion of our universe at the late cosmic evolution time in a generally modified (extended) \emph{Chaplygin gas} (Dark Fluid) model is detailed, which is characterized by two parameters ($m$, $\alpha$).…
The development of dark energy models has stimulated interest to cosmological singularities, which differ from the traditional Big Bang and Big Crunch singularities. We review a broad class of phenomena connected with soft cosmological…
The universe is viewed as a dust gas filling a sphere and floating in infinite empty space. Einstein's gravitational equations are applied to this case together with appropriate boundary values. The equations are solved for initial…
We examine a class of braneworld models in which the expanding universe encounters a "quiescent" future singularity. At a quiescent singularity, the energy density and pressure of the cosmic fluid as well as the Hubble parameter remain…
The physics of the expansion of the universe is still a poorly studied subject of the standard cosmological model. This because the concept of expanding space can not be tested in the laboratory and because ``expansion'' means continuous…
In this paper, we attempt to explore the possibility of a obtaining a viable emergent universe scenario supported by a type of fluid known as the extended Chaplygin gas, which extends a modification to the equation of state of the well…
In this paper, after reconstructing the redshift evolution of the Hubble function by adopting Gaussian process techniques, we estimate the best-fit parameters for some flat Friedmann cosmological models based on a Modified Chaplygin Gas…
The recently introduced relativistic Lagrangian darkon fluid model (EPJ C (2015) 75:9) is generalized to a self-gravitating, irrotational, pressure-less and stress free geodesic fluid, whose energy-momentum tensor is dust-like with…
Recent observations indicate that the Universe is not transparent but partially opaque due to absorption of light by ambient cosmic dust. This implies that the Friedmann equations valid for the transparent universe must be modified for the…
An expanding spherically symmetric dust cloud is considered in a framework of general relativity. Initial conditions leading to a shell-crossing singularity are chosen. The way to construct a weak solution for such a case is proposed.…
We present an explicit exact solution of Einstein's equations for an inhomogeneous dust universe with cylindrical symmetry. The spacetime is extremely simple but nonetheless it has new surprising features. The universe is ``closed'' in the…
Hybrid Chaplygin gas model is put forward, in which the gases play the role of dark energy. For this model the coincidence problem is greatly alleviated. The effective equation of state of the dark energy may cross the phantom divide…
We present a systematic analysis of the dynamics of flat Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker cosmological models with radiation and dust matter in generalized teleparallel $f(T)$ gravity. We show that the cosmological dynamics of this…
This paper presents an analysis of the smoothness problem in cosmology by focussing on the ambiguities originated in the simplifying hypotheses aimed at observationally verifying if the large-scale distribution of galaxies is homogeneous,…
Motivated by recent work on consistent fluid couplings in $f(R, T)$ gravity, we study cosmology in the nontrivial model $f(R, T) = R + \sigma R T$ using the Brown variational principle for a barotropic perfect fluid. For a flat FLRW…
The present work aims to investigate an interacting Umami Chaplygin gas in the background dynamics of a spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe when adiabatic particle creation is allowed. Here, the universe is…
