The problem of reproducing dark energy effects is reviewed here with particular interest devoted to cosmography. We summarize some of the most relevant cosmological models, based on the assumption that the corresponding barotropic equations…
Recent observational progress has led to the establishment of the standard $\Lambda$CDM model for cosmology. This development is based on different cosmological probes that are usually combined through their likelihoods at the latest stage…
The universe content is considered as a non-perfect fluid with bulk viscosity and can be described by a general equation of state (endowed some deviation from the conventionally assumed cosmic perfect fluid model). An explicitly bulk…
The negative pressure accompanying gravitationally-induced particle creation can lead to a cold dark matter (CDM) dominated, accelerating Universe (Lima et al. 1996) without requiring the presence of dark energy or a cosmological constant.…
We present a full-fledged analysis of Brans-Dicke cosmology with a cosmological constant and cold dark matter (BD-$\Lambda$CDM for short). We extend the scenarios where the current cosmological value of the BD-field is restricted by the…
A plane-symmetric non-static cosmological model representing a bulk viscous fluid distribution has been obtained which is inhomogeneous and anisotropic and a particular case of which is gravitationally radiative. Without assuming any {\it…
Brans-Dicke (BD) cosmology is reconsidered from an approach in which the model can be formulated in $\Lambda$CDM form, but at the expense of replacing the rigid cosmological constant $\Lambda$ with a dynamical quasivacuum component which…
Motivated by cosmological applications for interacting matters, an extension of the action functional for relativistic fluids is proposed to incorporate the physics of non-adiabatic processes and chemical reactions. The former are…
The bulk viscosity of cosmological fluid and the creation of cold dark matter both result in the generation of irreversible entropy (related to dissipative processes) in a homogeneous and isotropic universe. To consider such effects, the…
In the standard (LCDM) model of cosmology the universe has emerged out of an early homogeneous and isotropic phase. Structure formation is associated with the growth of density irregularities and peculiar velocities. Our Local Group is…
The Fractal Bubble model has been proposed as a viable cosmology that does not require dark energy to account for cosmic acceleration, but rather attributes its observational signature to the formation of structure. In this paper it is…
In this paper, we investigate Bianchi type$-V$ cosmological models with bulk viscous fluid and time varying cosmological $\Lambda$ and Newtonian $G$ parameters. The Einstein's field equations have been transformed into a coupling…
We derive several, detailed relationships in terms of the Friedmann, Robertson, Walker (FRW) generalization which describe the Universe during both the radiation and matter dominated epochs. We explicitly provide for the influence of…
The cosmic dipole tension - the discrepancy between the Cosmic Microwave Background kinematic dipole and the matter dipole inferred from all-sky surveys poses a significant challenge to the Cosmological Principle, which dictates that the…
In this paper, we study Friedmann cosmology with time-varying vacuum energy density in the context of Brans-Dicke theory. We consider an isotropic and homogeneous flat space, filled with a matter-dominated perfect fluid and a dynamical…
We consider a flat Universe filled with a vacuum energy coupled to matter and radiation by respectively positive coupling functions $Q_m$ and $Q_r$. We require that these functions be such as Universe exits from inflation to go to a…
We study the consequences of a homogeneous dark energy fluid having a non-vanishing velocity with respect to the matter and radiation large-scale rest frames. We consider homogeneous anisotropic cosmological models with four fluids…
After reviewing the modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) proposal, we advocate that the associated phenomenology may actually not result from a modification of Newtonian gravity, but from a mechanism of "gravitational polarization" of some…
We present a cosmological model constituted by three perfect fluids, cold dark matter, vacuum energy and radiation, which interacting with each other lead to an equivalent model of three self-preserved fluids that can be identified with the…
WMAP and Planck may have uncovered several anomalies in the full CMB sky that could indicate possible new physics driving the growth of density fluctuations in the early Universe. These include an unusually low power at the largest scales…
