We formulate the time variation of the gravitational coupling constant in all dimensions. We show that the time variation of the gravitational coupling constant is related to the time variation of the Newton's constant in three-space…
Observational data for type Ia supernovae, shows that the expansion of the universe is accelerated. This accelerated expansion can be described by a cosmological constant or by dark energy models like quintessence. An interesting question…
In this work, we investigate Newtonian cosmologies with a time-varying gravitational constant, $G(t)$. We examine whether such models can reproduce the low-redshift cosmological observations without a cosmological constant, or any other…
A D-dimensional gravitational model with Gauss-Bonnet term is considered. When ansatz with diagonal cosmological type metrics is adopted, we find solutions with exponential dependence of scale factors (with respect to "synchronous-like"…
We test Einstein gravity using cosmological observations of both expansion and structure growth, including the latest data from supernovae (Union2.1), CMB (WMAP7), weak lensing (CFHTLS) and peculiar velocity of galaxies (WiggleZ). We fit…
We study a gravitational model in which scale transformations play the key role in obtaining dynamical $G$ and $\Lambda$. We take a scale non-invariant gravitational action with a cosmological constant and a gravitational coupling constant.…
There are at least three ways in which a varying gravitational constant $G$ could affect the interpretation of the recent high-redhisft Type Ia supernovae results. If the local value of $G$ at the space-time location of distant supernovae…
We formulate a simple extension of general relativity which incorporates space-time variations in the Newtonian gravitation 'constant', $G$, and the fine structure 'constant', $\alpha $, which generalises Brans-Dicke theory and our theory…
The equations of motion for matter fields are invariant under the shift of the matter lagrangian by a constant. Such a shift changes the energy momentum tensor of matter by T^a_b --> T^a_b +\rho \delta^a_b. In the conventional approach,…
In a recent work, Dai (arXiv:2103.11157) searched for a variability in Newton's constant $G$ using the IGETS based gravitational acceleration measurements. However, this analysis, obtained from $\chi^2$ minimization, did not incorporate the…
We investigate the evolution of gravitational waves through discontinuous evolution (transition) of the Hubble expansion rate $H(z)$ at a sudden cosmological singularity, which may be due to a transition of the value of the gravitational…
In the present manuscript the basic Einstein--Hilbert cosmological model is extended, by adding a new functional $F(G, T_{\mu\nu}T^{\mu\nu})$ in the fundamental action, encoding specific geometrical effects due to a nontrivial coupling with…
Based on some observations, the apparent energy, associated with gravity, of vacuums is defined, with that of normal vacuums to be zero and that of the vacuums losing some energy to be negative. An important application of the energy is its…
The cosmological evolution of free massless vector or tensor (but not gauge) fields minimally coupled to gravity is analyzed. It is shown that there are some unstable solutions for these fields in De Sitter background. The back reaction of…
We have shown that the varying physical constant model is consistent with the recently published variational approach wherein Einstein equations are modified to include the variation of the speed of light c, gravitational constant G and…
Three theoretical criteria for gravitational theories beyond general relativity are considered: obtaining the cosmological constant as an integration constant, deriving the energy conservation law as a consequence of the field equations,…
We show that the description of the space-time of general relativity as a diagonal four dimensional submanifold immersed in an eight dimensional hypercomplex manifold, in torsionless case, leads to a geometrical origin of the cosmological…
Several authors have recently explored the idea that physical constants such as c and G might vary over time and have formulated theories describing this variation that can address a range of cosmological problems. Such work typically…
We explore possible cosmological consequences of a running Newton's constant $ G ( \Box ) $, as suggested by the non-trivial ultraviolet fixed point scenario in the quantum field-theoretic treatment of Einstein gravity with a cosmological…
In this paper we first construct a mathematical model for the Universe expansion that started up with the original Big Bang. Next, we discuss the problematic of the mechanical and physical laws invariance regarding the spatial frame…
