Cosmological models often contain scalar fields, which can acquire global nonzero expectation values that change with the comoving time. Among the possible consequences of these scalar-field backgrounds, an accelerated cosmological…
An oscillating scalar field can behave like cold dark matter in the expanding Universe. In relativistic cosmology, this perspective is primarily reasoned by an evolution of a background scalar field and its subhorizon perturbations in a…

The accelerated expansion of the universe is a rather established fact in cosmology and many different models have been proposed as a viable explanation. Many of these models are based on the standard general relativistic framework of…
This work is a review of the last results of research on the Scalar Field Dark Matter model of the Universe at cosmological and at galactic level. We present the complete solution to the scalar field cosmological scenario in which the dark…

We first study dark energy models with a minimally-coupled scalar field and exponential potentials, admitting exact solutions for the cosmological equations: actually, it turns out that for this class of potentials the Einstein field…

It is investigated the cosmological dynamics of scalar-torsion $f(T,\phi)$ gravity as a dark energy model, where $T$ is the torsion scalar of teleparallel gravity and $\phi$ is a canonical scalar field. In this context, we are concerned…
An exact scalar field cosmological model is constructed from the exact solution of the field equations. The solutions are exact and no approximation like slow roll is used. The model gives inflation, solves horizon and flatness problems.…
The so called `cosmic coincidence' problem seems to suggest a coupling between dark energy and dark matter. A possibility could be given by dark matter particles with masses depending exponentially on the scalar field associated to dark…
The symmetron is a scalar field associated with the dark sector whose coupling to matter depends on the ambient matter density. The symmetron is decoupled and screened in regions of high density, thereby satisfying local constraints from…
Negative lambda gravitational effective field theories dual to holographic CFTs have potentially realistic cosmological solutions. Generic cosmological solutions of these effective field theories have scalar field evolution that can lead to…
The current standard model of cosmology, the LambdaCDM model, is based on the homogeneous FLRW solutions of the Einstein equations to which some perturbations are added to account for the CMB features and structure formation at large…
We generally investigate the scalar field model with the lagrangian $L=F(X)-V(\phi)$, which we call it {\it General Non-Canonical Scalar Field Model}. We find that it is a special square potential(with a negative minimum) that drives the…
In this paper, we have considered various dark energy models in the framework of a non-canonical scalar field with a Lagrangian density of the form ${\cal L}(\phi, X)=f(\phi)X{\left(\frac{X}{M^{4}_{Pl}}\right)}^{\alpha -1} - V(\phi)$, which…
We construct a viable cosmological model based on velocity diffusion of matter particles. In order to ensure the conservation of the total energy-momentum tensor in the presence of diffusion, we include a cosmological scalar field $\phi$…
The time evolution of a cosmological scalar field can be stopped by an increasing mass of the neutrinos. This leads to a transition from a cosmological scaling solution with dynamical dark energy at early time to a cosmological constant…
