Statefinder Diagnostic for Modified Chaplygin Gas with the Sign-Changeable Interaction

Statefinder diagnostic is a useful method which can distinguish one dark energy model from the others. In this paper, we apply this method to the modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) model with the sign-changeable interaction in which the interaction term Q can change its sign from Q<0 to Q>0 as the universe expands. We plot the evolutionary trajectories of this model in the statefinder parameter-planes, and it is found that the coupling constant β plays a significant role from the statefinder viewpoint. Furthermore, we can conclude that the statefinder diagnostic can not only discriminate the model with different coupling constant but also distinguish the model from other dark energy models.     

Statefinder Diagnostic and w?w′ Analysis for Interacting Polytropic Gas Dark Energy Model

The interacting polytropic gas dark energy model is investigated from the viewpoint of statefinder diagnostic tool and w−w′ analysis. The dependency of the statefinder parameters on the parameter of the model as well as the interaction parameter between dark matter and dark energy is calculated. We show that different values of the parameters of model and different values of interaction parameter result different evolutionary trajectories in s−r and w−w′ planes. The polytropic gas model of dark energy mimics the standard ΛCDM model at the early time.     

Statefinder Diagnostic for Variable Generalized Chaplygin Gas with the Sign-Changeable Interaction

In this paper, we apply the statefinder diagnostic to variable generalized Chaplygin gas (VGCG) with the sign-changeable interaction in which the interaction term Q can change its sign from Q<0 to Q>0 as the universe expands. The evolution trajectories of the statefinder pairs {r,s} and {r,q} are obtained under the circumstance where different values of model parameters are chosen. It is found that the coupling term does not affect the location of the late time attractor, but has an influence on the evolution of the statefinder parameters. Furthermore, it is shown that the evolution trajectories of our model in the r(s) diagram are different from those of other dark energy models.     

Statefinder diagnosis for Ricci dark energy

Statefinder diagnostic is a useful method which can differ one dark energy model from each others. In this Letter, we apply this method to a holographic dark energy model from Ricci scalar curvature, called the Ricci dark energy model (RDE). We plot the evolutionary trajectories of this model in the statefinder parameter-planes, and it is found that the parameter of this model plays a significant role from the statefinder viewpoint. In a very special case, the statefinder diagnostic fails to discriminate LCDM and RDE models, thus we apply a new diagnostic called the Om diagnostic proposed recently to this model in this case in Appendix A and it works well.     

Accelerating Universe in Brans-Dicke Theory in Presence of Chaplygin Gas

In this paper, we have considered a model for Brans-Dicke scalar field in presence of Chaplygin gas and interaction between them. We have shown that the BD parameter ω is constant or not, the Chaplygin gas provides early deceleration and late time acceleration of the universe. The graphical representation of statefinder parameters shows the total evolution of the universe starts from radiation era to phantom model.

Modified holographic dark energy in non-flat Kaluza–Klein universe with varying <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the evolution of modified holographic dark energy with variable G in non-flat Kaluza–Klein universe. We consider the non-interacting and interacting scenarios of the modified holographic dark energy with dark matter and obtain the equation of state parameter through logarithmic approach. It turns out that the universe remains in different dark energy eras for both cases. Further, we study the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics in this scenario. We also justify that the statefinder parameters satisfy the limit of ΛCDM model.     

Dynamics of Logamediate and Intermediate Scenarios in the Dark Energy Filled Universe

We have considered a model of two component mixture i.e., mixture of Chaplygin gas and barotropic fluid with tachyonic field. In the case, when they have no interaction then both of them retain their own properties. Let us consider an energy flow between barotropic and tachyonic fluids. In both the cases we find the exact solutions for the tachyonic field and the tachyonic potential and show that the tachyonic potential follows the asymptotic behavior. We have considered an interaction between these two fluids by introducing a coupling term. Finally, we have considered a model of three component mixture i.e., mixture of tachyonic field, Chaplygin gas and barotropic fluid with or without interaction. The coupling functions decays with time indicating a strong energy flow at the initial period and weak stable interaction at later stage. To keep the observational support of recent acceleration we have considered two particular forms (i) Logamediate Scenario and (ii) Intermediate Scenario, of evolution of the Universe. We have examined the natures of the recent developed statefinder parameters and slow-roll parameters in both scenarios with and without interactions in whole evolution of the universe.     

Statefinder Parameters for Different Dark Energy Models with Variable G Correction in Kaluza-Klein Cosmology

In this work, we have calculated the deceleration parameter, statefinder parameters and EoS parameters for different dark energy models with variable G correction in homogeneous, isotropic and non-flat universe for Kaluza-Klein Cosmology. The statefinder parameters have been obtained in terms of some observable parameters like dimensionless density parameter, EoS parameter and Hubble parameter for holographic dark energy, new agegraphic dark energy and generalized Chaplygin gas models.     

Tsallis agegraphic dark energy model with the sign-changeable interaction

In this paper, we study the evolution of a spatially flat universe composed of Tsallis agegraphic dark energy(TADE) and a pressureless dark matter(DM), by assuming that there is a signchangeable interaction between TADE and DM. The density, deceleration parameter and the equation of state parameters(EoS) show satisfactory behaviors in the model. By analysis we find that the accelerated expansion of the universe can be achieved at the late time if model parameters δ2 and -2/3β0. Also, we investigate the interacting TADE model by means of statefinder diagnostic and w–w' analysis.     

Singularities and Entropy in Bulk Viscosity Dark Energy Model

In this paper bulk viscosity is introduced to describe the effects of cosmic non-perfect fluid on the cosmos evolution and to build the unified dark energy (DE) with (dark) matter models. Also we derive a general relation between the bulk viscosity form and Hubble parameter that can provide a procedure for the viscosity DE model building. Especially, a redshift dependent viscosity parameterζ∝λ₀ +λ₁(1+z)ⁿ proposed in the previous work [X.H. Meng and X. Dou, Commun. Theor. Phys. 52 (2009) 377] is investigated extensively in this present work. Further more we use the recently released supernova dataset
(the Constitution dataset) to constrain the model parameters. In order to differentiate the proposed concrete dark energy models from the well known $\Lambda$CDM model, statefinder diagnostic method is applied to this bulk viscosity model, as a complementary to the Om parameter diagnostic and the deceleration parameter analysis performed by us before. The DE model evolution behavior and tendency are shown in the plane of the statefinder diagnostic parameter pair {r,s} as axes where the fixed point represents theΛCDM model. The possible singularity property in this bulk viscosity
cosmology is also discussed to which we can conclude that in the different parameter regions chosen properly, this concrete viscosity DE model can have various late evolution behaviors and the late time singularity could be avoided. We also calculate the cosmic entropy in the bulk viscosity dark energy frame, and find that the total entropy in the viscosity DE model increases monotonously with respect to the scale factor evolution, thus this monotonous
increasing property can indicate an arrow of time in the universe evolution, though the quantum version of the arrow of time is still very puzzling.     

What if gravity becomes really repulsive in the future?

The current acceleration of the Universe is one of the most puzzling issues in theoretical physics nowadays. We are far from giving an answer in this letter to the question of its nature. Yet, with the observations we have at hand, we analyse the different patterns that the gravitational potential can show in the future. Surprisingly, gravity not only can get weaker in the near future, it can even become repulsive; or equivalently, the gravitational potential may become negative. We show this remark by using one of the simplest phenomenological model we can imagine for dark energy. We have also reviewed the statefinder approach of these models. For completeness, we have also showed the behaviour of the density contrast of dark matter and dark energy for these simple (yet illustrative models). Our results are displayed and we see how they shall evolve in the future.     

A modified Chaplygin gas model with interaction

A modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) model of unifying dark energy and dark matter is considered in this paper, in which dark energy interacts with dark matter. Concretely, the evolution of such a unified dark sectors model is studied and the statefinder diagnostic to the MCG model is performed in our model. By analysis, it is shown that the effective equation of state (EoS) parameter of dark energy can cross the so-called phantom divide ω = −1, the behavior of MCG will be like ΛCDM in the future and therefore our Universe will not end up with Big Rip in the future. Furthermore, we plot the evolution trajectories of the MCG model in the statefinder parameter r–s plane and illustrate the discrimination between this scenario and the generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) model.     

An Interacting Two-Fluid Scenario for Quintom Dark Energy

The Quintom dark energy is a proposal that explains the recent observations that mildly favor the equation of state of dark energy ω crossing -1 near the past. The Quintom model is often constructed by two scalar fields, where one is the quintessence feld and another is the phantom field. The cosmological implication of the coupling of the two fields of the dark energy is out of question worth investigating. However, the consideration of the coupling in the field scenario is somewhat complex thus we propose an interacting two-fluid Quintom scenario for simplicity. The interaction between the two components is parametrized by a constant 71 in this scenario. The cosmological implications of this parametrization are investigated in detail in this paper. Also, a diagnostic for this model is performed by using the statefinder pairs {s, r} and {q, r}.     

Statefinder diagnostic and stability of modified gravity consistent with holographic and agegraphic dark energy

Recently one of us derived the action of modified gravity consistent with the holographic and new-agegraphic dark energy. In this paper, we investigate the stability of the Lagrangians of the modified gravity as discussed in (Setare in Int J Mod Phys D 17:2219, 2008; Setare in Astrophys Space Sci 326:27, 2010). We also calculate the statefinder parameters which classify our dark energy model.     

Stability analysis and observational measurement in 5-D Brans–Dicke cosmology

This Letter is a study of the effects of higher dimensional gravity and Brans–Dicke (BD) scalar field on cosmic acceleration in 5-D BD cosmological model. We assume a flat cosmological model in which the matter content of the universe is either cold dark matter or radiation. In a framework to study attractor solutions in the phase space we simultaneously constrain the model parameters with the observational data for distance modulus. The phase space analysis illustrates that the universe begins from an unstable state in the past and eventually reaches an asymptotically stable state (attractor). We examine the model by performing Hubble parameter test in addition to statefinder diagnosis. We also reconstruct the equation of state parameter, the scale factor in 3-D space and along extra dimension. The results show that due to the presence of extra dimension and Brans–Dicke scalar field in the model, the universe undergoes a period of acceleration.     

Co-Existence of Modified Chaplygin Gas and Other Dark Energies in the Framework of Fractal Universe

In this work, we consider a non-flat universe in the framework of fractal cosmology. We have investigated the co-existence of different kinds of dark energy models such as tachyonic field, DBI-essence, hessence, k-essence, dilaton, quintessence with the modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) in fractal universe and obtained the statefinder parameters. The natures of the scalar fields and the concerned potentials have been analyzed by the correspondence scenario in the fractal universe.     

Statefinder and Om Diagnostics for Interacting New Holographic Dark Energy Model and Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics

In this work, we have considered that the flat FRW universe is filled with the mixture of dark matter and the new holographic dark energy. If there is an interaction, we have investigated the natures of deceleration parameter, statefinder and Om diagnostics. We have examined the validity of the first and generalized second laws of thermodynamics under these interactions on the event as well as apparent horizon. It has been observed that the first law is violated on the event horizon. However, the generalized second law is valid throughout the evolution of the universe enveloped by the apparent horizon. When the event horizon is considered as the enveloping horizon, the generalized second law is found to break down excepting at late stage of the universe.     

Effects of Low Anisotropy on Generalized Ghost Dark Energy in Galileon Gravity

The definition of the Galileon gravity form is extended to the Brans-Dicke theory. Given, the framework of the Galileon theory, the generalized ghost dark energy model in an anisotropic universe is investigated. We study the cosmological implications of this model. In particular, we obtain the equation of state and the deceleration parameters and a differential equation governing the evolution of this dark energy in Bianchi type I model. We also probe observational constraints by using the latest observational data on the generalized ghost dark energy models as the unification of dark matter and dark energy. In order to do so, we focus on observational determinations of the Hubble expansion rate(namely, the expansion history) H(z). As a result, we show the influence of the anisotropy(although low) on the evolution of the universe in the statefinder diagrams for Galileon gravity.     

Letter: Statefinder Parameters for Interacting Dark Energy

We argue that the recently introduced statefinder parameters (Sahni et al., JETP Lett. 77, 201 (2003)), that include the third derivative of the cosmic scale factor, are useful tools to characterize interacting quintessence models. We specify the statefinder parameters for two classes of models that solve, or at least alleviate, the coincidence problem.
