Many cosmological models invoke rolling scalar fields to account for the observed acceleration of the expansion of the universe. These theories generally include a potential V(phi) which is a function of the scalar field phi. Although…

In this paper, we introduce a non-minimally conformally coupled scalar field and dark matter in F(T) cosmology and study their dynamics. We investigate the stability and phase space behavior of the parameters of the scalar field by choosing…

We consider the cosmological evolution of a brane in the presence of a bulk scalar field coupled to the Ricci scalar through a term f(\phi)R. We derive the generalized Friedmann equation on the brane in the presence of arbitrary brane and…

A flat Fiedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) multi-scalar field cosmology is studied with a particular potential of the form $ \rm V(\phi,\sigma)=V_0 e^{-\lambda_1 \phi-\lambda_2 \sigma}$, which emerges as a relation between the time derivatives…

Several authors have argued that self-consistent $f(R)$ gravity models distinct from $\Lambda $CDM are almost ruled out. Confronting such claims, we present a particular two-parameter $f(R)$ model that: (a) is cosmologically viable and…
