In a previous paper, we proposed a heterotic dark energy model, called $\Lambda$HDE, in which dark energy is composed of two components: cosmological constant (CC) and holographic dark energy (HDE). The aim of this work is to give a more…
A diverse set of observations now compellingly suggest that Universe possesses a nonzero cosmological constant. In the context of quantum-field theory a cosmological constant corresponds to the energy density of the vacuum, and the wanted…
We solve the equation of the equilibrium of the gravitating body, with a polytropic equation of state of the matter $P=K\rho^{\gamma}$, with $\gamma=1+1/n$, in the frame of the Newtonian gravity, with non-zero cosmological constant…
Models of structure formation with a cosmological constant $\Lambda$ provide a good fit to the observed power spectrum of galaxy clustering. However, they suffer from several problems. Theoretically, it is difficult to understand why the…
The asymptotic structure of the gravitational field of isolated systems has been analyzed in great detail in the case when the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ is zero. The resulting framework lies at the foundation of research in diverse…
The equations describing the adiabatic, small radial oscillations of general relativistic stars are generalized to include the effects of a cosmological constant. The generalized eigenvalue equation for the normal modes is used to study the…
I briefly review our current understanding of dark matter and dark energy. The first part of this paper focusses on issues pertaining to dark matter including observational evidence for its existence, current constraints and the `abundance…
Dark energy (and its simplest model, the Cosmological Constant or $\Lambda$) acts as a repulsive force that opposes gravitational attraction. Assuming galaxies maintain a steady state over extended periods, the estimated upper limit on…
The tensions between the values of Hubble constant obtained from the early and the late Universe data pose a significant challenge to modern cosmology. Possible modifications of the flat homogeneous isotropic cosmological {\Lambda}CDM model…
This study explores the impact of cosmic curvature on structure formation through general relativistic first-order perturbation theory. We analyze continuity and Euler equations, incorporating cosmic curvature into Einstein equations.…
Recent data advances offer the exciting prospect of a first look at whether dark energy has a dynamical equation of state or not. While formally theories exist with a constant equation of state, they are nongeneric -- Einstein's…
Two very different methods are used to estimate the magnitude of the effective cosmological constant / dark energy (for the present cosmic epoch). Their results agree with each other and are in agreement with observations. One method makes…
We generalize the spherical collapse model for the formation of bound objects to apply in a Universe with arbitrary positive cosmological constant. We calculate the critical condition for collapse of an overdense region and give exact…
In this talk, I have discussed the implications of a multi-component nature of cosmic Dark Matter for the observational bounds on possible long-range fifth-forces mediated by a Dark Energy scalar field. By assuming a simple internal…
In an undulant universe, cosmic expansion is characterized by alternating periods of acceleration and deceleration. We examine cosmologies in which the dark-energy equation of state varies periodically with the number of e-foldings of the…
We derive new limits on the value of the cosmological constant, $\Lambda$, based on the Einstein bending of light by systems where the lens is a distant galaxy or a cluster of galaxies. We use an amended lens equation in which the…
Interactions within the cosmic medium modify its equation of state. We discuss implications of interacting dark energy models both for the spatially homogenous background and for the perturbation dynamics.
Up to now, Dark Energy evidences are based on the dynamics of the universe on very large scales, above 1 Gpc. Assuming it continues to behave like a cosmological constant $\Lambda$ on much smaller scales, I discuss its effects on the motion…
Possible analogies between vacuum state and quantum fluid provide a model to study vacuum energy density induced by thermal corrections, space-time curvature, boundary conditions and quantum back-reaction. We find that vacuum energy density…
In this paper, we investigate the effects of non-commutative phase-space on the quintom cosmological model. In that case, we discuss $\Lambda_{1}$, $\Lambda_{2}$ and other cosmological parameters and show that they are associated to…
