Dark energy models with various scenarios of evolution are considered from the viewpoint of the formalism for the equation of state. It is shown that these models are compatible with current astronomical data. Some of the models presented…
We study the formation of classical singularities in Generalized Brans-Dicke theories that are natural extensions to Brans-Dicke where the kinetic term is modified by a new coupling function $\omega(\varphi)$. We discuss the asymptotic…
We study general $f(R,\phi)$ theories in Palatini formalism and attempt to constrain the behavior of ones that could support both inflationary and late-time expansion era in a unified model. In particular, we find conditions for which the…
We study the nature of potentials in scalar field based models for dark energy - with both canonical and noncanonical kinetic terms. We calculate numerically, and using an analytic approximation around $a\approx 1$, potentials for models…
The concordance model of cosmology contains several unknown components such as dark matter and dark energy. Many proposals have been made to describe them by choosing an appropriate potential for a scalar field. We study four models in the…
We propose a new quintessence scenario in the brane cosmology, assuming that a quintessence field $Q$ is confined in our 3-dimensional brane world. With a potential $V(Q)= \mu^{\alpha+4} Q^{-\alpha}~(\alpha\geq 2)$, we find that the density…
We reanalyze a new quintessence scenario in a brane world model, assuming that a quintessence scalar field is confined in our 3-dimensional brane world. We study three typical quintessence models : (1) an inverse-power-law potential, (2) an…
We perform a study both statistical and theoretical for cosmological models of matter creation and their ability to describe effective phantom models of dark energy. Such models are beyond the $\Lambda$CDM model since the resulting cosmic…
Assuming that the matter filling the background geometry in the Early Universe was a free gas and no phase transitions took place, we discuss the thermodynamics of this closed system using classical approaches. We found that essential…
Experiments in heavy-fermion metals and related theoretical work suggest that critical local-moment fluctuations can play an important role near a zero-temperature phase transition. We study such fluctuations at the quantum critical point…
This investigation explores using the beta function formalism to calculate analytic solutions for the observable parameters in rolling scalar field cosmologies. The beta function in this case is the derivative of the scalar $\phi$ with…
Various classes of exotic singularity models have been studied as possible mimic models for the observed recent acceleration of the universe. Here we further study one of these classes and, under the assumption that they are…
In order to investigate more features of the Brans-Dicke cosmology in the five-dimensional space-time, we explore the solutions of its dynamiacal systems. A behavior of the universe in its early and late time by means of the scale factor is…
Cosmological scaling solutions are particularly important in solving the coincidence problem of dark energy. We derive the equations of sub-Hubble linear matter perturbations for a general scalar-field Lagrangian--including quintessence,…
We choose a modified Chaplygin Gas Dark energy model for considering some its cosmological behaviors. In this regards, we study different Rip singularity scenarios and bouncing model of the universe in context of this model. We show that by…
We present a unified treatment of the phase space of a spatially flat homogeneous and isotropic universe dominated by a phantom field. Results on the dynamics and the late time attractors (Big Rip, de Sitter, etc.) are derived without…
We study a known class of scalar dark energy models in which the potential is of exponential type and the current accelerating era is transient. We find that, although a decelerating era will return in future, however, when extrapolating…
On going good number of research works establish Modified Chaplygin Gas as one one of the most favoured candidates of Dark Energy. In our present work, new bound on the parameter space of associated model - parameter has been worked out…
Phantom dark energy models with an equation of state parameter $w < -1$ lead generically to a future big rip singularity, in which the dark energy density becomes infinite in a finite time. Current limits on dark energy constrain $w$ to be…
The fact that Einstein's equations connect the space-time geometry to the total matter content of the cosmic substratum, but not to individual contributions of the matter species, can be translated into a degeneracy in the cosmological dark…
