Ghost Collapse : exploring feasibility of spurious Spherical Collapses

Abstract

We explore the real solutions to the Spherical Collapse Model in a non-flat Universe with a Cosmological Constant, and observe a possible situation for a fake or Ghost Collapse, in which an expanding overdense spherical region, turns around and begins to collapse, turns around again after a finite time and starts expanding. To make such a situation of spurious collapse feasible, we make a linear redshift dependent correction to the standard Dark Energy density term which is originally in the form of a cosmological constant. There is good reason to believe in such a correction based on recent research which hints that Dark Energy desnity evolves with the redshift (even becomes negative) when fit to observational data.
