We considered the phantom cosmology with a lagrangian $\displaystyle L=\frac{1}{\eta}[1-\sqrt{1+\eta g^{\mu\nu}\phi_{, \mu}\phi_{, \nu}}]-u(\phi)$, which is original from the nonlinear Born-Infeld type scalar field with the lagrangian…

A cosmological model with an exotic fluid is investigated. We show that the equation of state of this ``modified Chaplygin'' gas can describe the current accelerated expansion of the universe. We then reexpress it as FRW cosmological model…
The phase space analysis of cosmological parameters $\Omega_{\phi}$ and $\gamma_{\phi}$ is given. Based on this, the well-known quintessence cosmology is studied with an exponential potential $V(\phi)=V_{0}\exp(-\lambda\phi)$. Given…

We study the possibility to construct an observationally viable scenario where both early Inflation and the recently detected accelerated expansion of the universe can be explained by using a single scalar field associated with the Tachyon.…
The possibility of explanation of accelerated expansion of the Universe by tachyonic scalar fields which homogeneously fill the world is discussed. The dependences of potential and kinetic term on scale factor are deduced for the case of…
In this letter, we have assumed that the Universe is filled in tachyonic field with potential, which gives the acceleration of the Universe. For certain choice of potential, we have found the exact solutions of the field equations. We have…
We examine models in which the accelerated expansion of the universe is driven by a scalar field rolling near an inflection point in the potential. For the simplest such models, in which the potential is of the form V(\phi) = V_0 + V_3…
We study the cosmological evolution of a scalar field that couples to the trace $T=T^{a}_a$ of energy momentum tensor of all the fields (including itself). In the case of a shallow exponential potential, the presence of coupling to the…
A new cosmological scenario driven by a slow rolling homogeneous scalar field whose exponential potential $V(\Phi)$ has a quadratic dependence on the field $\Phi$ in addition to the standard linear term is discussed. The derived equation of…

We study the cosmological evolution of scalar fields with arbitrary potentials in the presence of a barotropic fluid (matter or radiation) without making any assumption on which term dominates. We determine what kind of potentials V(phi)…
We present the case of time-varying cosmological term $\Lambda(t)$. The main idea arises by proposing that as in the cosmological constant case, the scalar potential is identified as $ V(\phi)=2\Lambda$, with $\Lambda$ a constant, this…
In many cases a nonlinear scalar field with potential $V$ can lead to accelerated expansion in cosmological models. This paper contains mathematical results on this subject for homogeneous spacetimes. It is shown that, under the assumption…
