In metric-affine gravity, both the gravitational and matter actions depend not just on the metric, but also on the independent affine connection. Thus matter can be modeled as a hyperfluid, characterized by both the energy-momentum and…

Several isotropic, homogeneous cosmological models containing a self-interacting minimally coupled scalar field, a perfect fluid source and cosmological constant are solved. New exact, asymptotically stable solutions with an inflationary…

When coupling fermions to gravity, torsion is naturally induced. We consider the possibility that fermion bilinears can act as a source for torsion, altering the dynamics of the early universe such that the big bang gets replaced with a…

We define a conformal reference frame, i.e., a special projection of the six-dimensional sky bundle of a Lorentzian manifold (or the five-dimensional twistor space) to a three-dimensional manifold. We construct an example, a conformal…

We propose a Hamiltonian formalism for a generalized Friedmann-Roberson-Walker cosmology model in the presence of both a variable equation of state (EOS) parameter $w(a)$ and a variable cosmological constant $\Lambda(a)$, where $a$ is the…

We discuss flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric-affine cosmology where the metric and connection as well as the matter energy-momentum and hypermomentum all obey the symmetry of spatial homogeneity and isotropy. In…

We consider the general scalar-tensor gravity without derivative couplings. By rescaling of the metric and reparametrization of the scalar field, the theory can be presented in different conformal frames and parametrizations. In this work…

This study constrains the cosmological parameters within the scope of a spherically symmetric FLRW cosmological model, the role of a nonlinear spinor field in the universe's evolution. To test this approach, we incorporate the recent Cosmic…

We present a simple argument to explain why the field equations of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric are equivalent to those of Newtonian cosmology. By passing to the infinite limit of a family of conformally rescaled FRW metrics in…

We consider cosmological models with an arbitrary number of scalar fields nonminimally coupled to gravity and construct new integrable cosmological models. In the constructed models, the Ricci scalar is an integral of motion irrespectively…

We present the case of time-varying cosmological term $\Lambda(t)$. The main idea arises by proposing that as in the cosmological constant case, the scalar potential is identified as $ V(\phi)=2\Lambda$, with $\Lambda$ a constant, this…

We study two homogeneous supersymmetric extensions for the $f(R)$ modified gravity model of Starobinsky with the FLRW metric. The actions are defined in terms of a superfield $\mathcal{R}$ that contains the FLRW scalar curvature. One model…
