We study the non-linear dynamics of quantum fields in matter and radiation dominated universes, using the non-equilibrium field theory approach combined with the non-perturbative Hartree and the large N approximations. We examine the…

We present results on the non-linear dynamics of inhomogeneous cosmological models with irrotational dust and a positive cosmological constant, considering, in particular, a wide class with vanishing magnetic Weyl tensor. For those patches…

This paper is devoted to study the cosmological behavior of homogeneous and isotropic universe model in the context of $f(R,T^{\varphi})$ gravity where $\varphi$ is the scalar field. For this purpose, we follow the first order formalism…

In this work we consider quantum electromagnetic fields in an expanding universe. We start by reviewing the difficulties found when trying to impose the Lorenz condition in a time-dependent geometry. Motivated by this fact, we explore the…

We present an explicit cosmological model where inflation and dark energy both could arise from the dynamics of the same scalar field. We present our discussion in the framework where the inflaton field $\phi$ attains a nearly constant…

We provide a unified description of cosmological $\alpha$-attractors and late-time acceleration, in excellent agreement with the latest Planck data. Our construction involves two superfields playing distinctive roles: one is the dynamical…

We present a nonsingular bouncing cosmology using single scalar field matter with non-trivial potential and non-standard kinetic term. The potential sources a dynamical attractor solution with Ekpyrotic contraction which washes out small…

In this work, considering the background dynamics of flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker(FLRW) model of the universe, we investigate a scalar field model as dark energy candidate which interacting with the pressure-less dust as dark…

The k=0 Friedmann Lemaitre Robertson Walker model with a positive cosmological constant and a massless scalar field is analyzed in detail. If one uses the scalar field as relational time, new features arise already in the Hamiltonian…

We present a novel theory of the very early universe which addresses the traditional horizon and flatness problems of big bang cosmology and predicts a scale invariant spectrum of perturbations. Unlike inflation, this scenario requires no…

In this paper, we discuss the dynamics of two- scalar-field cosmological models. Unlike in the situation of exponential potential, we find that there are late-time attractors in which one scalar field dominates the energy density of…

We construct gravitational modifications that go beyond Horndeski, namely theories with extended nonminimal derivative couplings, in which the coefficient functions depend not only on the scalar field but also on its kinetic energy. Such…

A mathematical model of the evolution of plane perturbations in the cosmological statistical system of completely degenerate scalar-charged fermions with Higgs scalar interaction for short-wave perturbations is formulated. These disturbance…
