We explore the fate of the universe given the possibility that the density associated with `dark energy' may decay slowly with time. Decaying dark energy is modeled by a homogeneous scalar field which couples minimally to gravity and whose…
We present here some recent results concerning scalar-tensor Dark Energy models. These models are very interesting in many respects: they allow for a consistent phantom phase, the growth of matter perturbations is modified. Using a…
Extended teleparallel gravity, characterized by $F(Q)$ function where $Q$ is the non-metricity scalar, is one of the most promising approaches to general relativity. In this paper, we reexamine a specific dynamical dark energy model, which…

The metastable dark energy scenario is revisited by assuming that the current false vacuum energy density is the remnant from a primeval inflationary stage. The zero temperature scalar field potential is here described by an even power…

We study the post-Newtonian limit in the teleparallel equivalent of General Relativity with a scalar field which non-minimally couples to gravity. The metric perturbation is obtained from the vierbein field expansion with respect to the…
First a review of Teleparallel theory is done with special emphasis in the derivation of conservation equations within this theory and in particular of energy-momentum conservation. Given that we are allowed to speak about the existence of…

Using the "teleparallel" equivalent of General Relativity as the gravitational sector, which is based on torsion instead of curvature, we add a canonical scalar field, allowing for a nonminimal coupling with gravity. Although the minimal…

We consider a scalar-tensor model of dark energy with Gauss-Bonnet and non-minimal couplings. Exact cosmological solutions were found in absence of potential, that give equations of state of dark energy consistent with current observational…
We consider new models of dark energy with finite time future singularities, by introducing the pressure density as a function of the scale factor. This approach gives acceptable phenomenological models of dark energy, practically…
We discuss whether the future extrapolation of the present cosmological state may lead to a singularity even in case of "conventional" (negative) pressure of the dark energy field, namely $w=p/\rho \geq -1$. The discussion is based on an…
