We modify the scalar Einstein-aether theory by breaking the Lorentz invariance of a gravitational theory coupled to a Galileon type scalar field. This is done by introducing a Lagrange multiplier term into the action, thus ensuring that the…
We propose a cosmological model that describes isotropic expansion of inhomogeneous universe. The energy-momentum tensor that creates the spatial inhomogeneity may not affect the uniform expansion scaling factor $a(t)$ in the FLRW-like…
Most parameterizations of the dark energy equation of state do not reflect realistic underlying physical models. Here, we develop a relatively simple description of dark energy based on the dynamics of a scalar field which is exact in the…
The inhomogeneous distribution of matter in the non-linear regime of galaxies, clusters of galaxies and voids is described by an exact, spherically symmetric inhomogeneous solution of Einstein's gravitational field equations, corresponding…
Spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type $VI_0$ cosmological models with cosmological constant are investigated in the presence of anisotropic dark energy. We examine the effects of electromagnetic field on the dynamics of the…
We entertain the possibility that the phenomena typically attributed to dark matter may have a fundamentally emergent nature, rather than arising from new particle degrees of freedom. To illustrate this idea, we consider a field-theoretic…
In this paper, we have studied an interacting dark energy model. We have assumed the gravitational interaction between the matter fields i.e. between barotropic fluid and the dark energy. The dark energy evolution within the framework of…
We show that both the baryon asymmetry of the universe and dark matter (DM) can be accounted for by the dynamics of a single axion-like field. In this scenario, the observed baryon asymmetry is produced through spontaneous…
A recent article uncovered a surprising dynamical mechanism at work within the (vacuum) Einstein `flow' that strongly suggests that many closed 3-manifolds that do not admit a locally homogeneous and isotropic metric \textit{at all} will…
Is the usual treatment of axion dark matter as a classical field reliable? We show that the answer is subtle: the axion field could well be in a quantum state that has no complete classical description, but realistic detectors cannot tell…
A discussion is given of the conformal Einstein field equations coupled with matter whose energy-momentum tensor is trace-free. These resulting equations are expressed in terms of a generic Weyl connection. The article shows how in the…
We consider a novel dark energy model to investigate whether it will provide an expanding universe phase. Here we propose a mixed dark energy domination which is constituted by tachyon, quintessence, and phantom scalar fields nonminimally…
Using Ernst formalism, stationary axisymmetric black hole solution in Einstein-dark matter-dark energy gravity has been elaborated. The dark sector was chosen as dark photon concept, where an auxiliary U(1)-gauge field coupled to ordinary…
We consider the possibility that dark matter and dark energy can be explained by the minimal KSVZ axion model. This is possible if the lowest energy metastable minimum of the scalar potential has zero energy density, which is possible in…
The manuscript deals with an interacting scalar field that mimics the evolution of the so-called Axion Scalar Dark Matter or Axion like particles with ultra-light masses. It is discussed that such a scalar alongwith an ordinary fluid…
We consider an Einstein-aether type Lorentz-violating theory of gravity in which the aether vector field $V_{\mu }$ is represented as the gradient of a scalar field $\phi $, $V_{\mu }=\nabla _{\mu }\phi $. A self interacting potential for…
Einstein-aether theory is extended by allowing for spinning degrees of freedom of the aether. In addition to the acceleration, shear, expansion, and vorticity of the aether velocity field, a spin rotation describing the dynamics of a…
Motivated by the modified gravity theories $F(R)\neq R$ and inflationary physics, we first propose and investigate an inflation model in a scaled gravity $F(R)=R\,+\beta R$, where $\beta $ is a dimensionless scaling parameter. The latter is…
We consider a Lorentz-violating theory of inflation consisting of Einstein-aether theory with a scalar inflaton coupled bilinearly to the expansion of the aether. We determine the conditions for linearized stability, positive energy, and…
In the symmetric teleparallel gravity framework, we study the cosmic dynamics of the universe with dark energy equation of state (EoS) parameter having non-linear forms. The non-metricity scalar induced by the dark energy EoS parameter…
