In this paper we reconsider the existence of stealth fields during the evolution of our Universe by admitting more realistic nonminimal couplings to gravity than the conformal one. In the framework of the FRW cosmology we found that…
We introduce the $dipole$ $cosmological$ $principle$, the idea that the Universe is a maximally Copernican cosmology, compatible with a cosmic flow. It serves as the most symmetric paradigm that generalizes the FLRW ansatz, in light of the…
We construct new classes of cosmological solutions in modified and Einstein gravity theories encoding space-time quasicrystal, STQC, configurations modelled by nonlinear self-organized and pattern forming quasi-periodic structures. Such…

We investigate dynamics of a flat FRW cosmological model with a barotropic matter and a non-minimally coupled scalar field (both canonical and phantom). In our approach we do not assume any specific form of a potential function for the…

The idea that coherent oscillations of a scalar field, oscillating over a time period that is much shorter than the cosmological timescale, can exhibit cold dark matter (CDM) like behavior was previously established. In our work we first…
In this study, FRW-cosmologies with some matter groups such as monopole-domain wall, monopole-Chaplygin gas and monopole-strange quark matter in the scalar theory of gravitation based on Lyra geometry are investigated. We expand two exact…
We investigate torsion-driven cosmological dynamics within the framework of Einstein-Cartan gravity using the De Donder-Weyl Hamiltonian formalism, where the tetrad and Lorentz connection act as independent variables and the Hamiltonian…
The metric of an FRW universe filled with pressureless dust is shown to agree, close to any spacetime point, with a curved Newtonian-type metric where Einstein's equations simplify to those of Newtonian gravity. The agreement is shown to…

In this work, a cosmological model is considered having two scalar fields minimally coupled to gravity with a mixed kinetic term. The model is characterized by the coupling function and the potential function which are assumed to depend on…
Modern cosmology is based on the cosmological principle, which states that the Universe is statistically homogeneous and isotropic. When applied in its strict -- rather than statistical -- sense, the cosmological principle leads to the…
