Evidence for almost spatial flatness of the Universe has been provided from several observational probes, including the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) from galaxy clustering data. However, other…

Observational cosmology provides us with a large number of high precision data which are used to derive models trying to reproduce ``on the mean'' our observable patch of the Universe. Most of these attempts are achieved in the framework of…

The present matter density of the Universe, while highly inhomogeneous on small scales, displays approximate homogeneity on large scales. We propose that whereas it is justified to use the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) line…

We find new, simple cosmological solutions with flat, open, and closed spatial geometries, contrary to the previous wisdom that only the open model is allowed. The metric and the St\"{u}ckelberg fields are given explicitly, showing…

The studies in general relativity of rotating finite objects in equilibrium have usually focused on the case when they are truly isolated, this is, the models to describe finite objects are embedded in an asymptotically flat exterior…

The paper deals with $f(R)$ gravity theory in the background of inhomogeneous FLRW--type space time model. With proper choice of the inhomogeneous metric function it is possible to have an emergent scenario for the $f(R)$--cosmology.…

We consider scalar perturbations of energy-density for a class of cosmological models where an early phase of accelerated expansion evolves, without any fine-tuning for graceful exit, towards the standard Friedman eras of observed universe.…

Various models are under consideration with metric type flat FRW whose energy-momentum tensor is described by a perfect fluid whose generic equation state and taking into account the conservation principle, but considering some of the…

The basic models of modern cosmology work in FRW spacetime. Hence follows that it is important to study the physical and mathematical nature of FRW cosmological models. In this work, we consider FRW models with the differential equations of…

We study the dynamics of homogeneous isotropic FRW cosmologies with positive spatial curvature in $f(R)$-gravity, paying special attention to the existence of Einstein static models and only study forms of $f(R)=R^n$ for which these static…

We establish a new no-go theorem for cosmology: spatially flat ($k=0$) and open ($k=-1$) Friedmann--Robertson--Walker (FRW) non-static spacetimes cannot be simultaneously nonsingular, geodesically complete, and consistent with the averaged…

We consider FLRW cosmological models for perfect fluid (with rho as the energy density) in the frame work of the f(rho) modified theory of gravity [V. N. Tunyak, Russ. Phys. J. 21, 1221 (1978); J. R. Ray, L. L. Smalley, Phys. Rev. D. 26,…

The Cosmological Principle, which states that the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic (when averaged on large scales), is the foundational assumption of Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmologies such as the current standard…

Discrepancies between distance measurements and $\Lambda$CDM predictions reveal notable features in the distance-redshift relation, possibly suggesting the presence of an evolving dark energy component. Given the central role of the…
