Dynamical Study of a Constant Viscous Dark Energy Model in Classical and Loop Quantum Cosmology

Dynamical behaviors and stability properties of a flat space Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe filled with pressureless dark matter and viscous dark energy are studied in the context of standard classical and loop quantum cosmology.Assuming that the dark energy has a constant bulk viscosity,it is found that the bulk viscosity effects influence only the quintessence model case leading to the existence of a viscous late time attractor solution of deSitter type,whereas the quantum geometry effects influence the phantom model case where the big rip singularity is removed.Moreover,our results of the Hubble parameter as a function of the redshift are in good agreement with the more recent data.     

Holographic Ricci Dark Energy Model

In this paper, we consider holographic Ricci dark energy model, and by using general relativity equations obtain time-dependent density of the Universe. We show that the resulting density in independent of space curvature.     

A Pressure Parametric Dark Energy Model

In this paper, we propose a new pressure parametric model of the total cosmos energy components in a spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe and then reconstruct the model into quintessence and phantom scenarios, respectively. By constraining with the datasets of the type Ia supernova (SNe Ia), the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) and the observational Hubble parameter data(OHD), we find that Ω_m0=0.270_-0.034^+0.039 at the 1σ level and our universe slightly biases towards quintessence behavior. Then we use two diagnostics including Om(a) diagnostic and statefinder to discriminate our model from the cosmology constant cold dark matter (ΛCDM) model. From Om(a) diagnostic, we find that our model has a relatively large deviation from the ΛCDM model at high redshifts and gradually approaches the ΛCDM model at low redshifts and in the future evolution, but they can be easily differentiated from each other at the 1σ level all along. By the statefinder, we find that both of quintessence case and phantom case can be well distinguished from the ΛCDM model and will gradually deviate from each other. Finally, we discuss the fate of universe evolution (named the rip analysis) for the phantom case of our model and find that the universe will run into a little rip stage.     

Hubble Expansion Parameter in a New Model of Dark Energy

In this study, we consider new model of dark energy based on Taylor expansion of its density and calculate the Hubble expansion parameter for various parameterizations of equation of state. This model is useful to probe a possible evolving of dark energy component in comparison with current observational data.     

A Parametric Dynamic Model of Dark Energy

The double complex symmetric gravitational theory is extended to the parametric symmetric gravitational theory by introducing a parameter β. Hence parametric Friedmann-Robertson-Walker equations are obtained and some characters of dark energy in corresponding spaces are discussed by taking different values of β. In our method some previous results can be included as the special case of our results. It is worth noting that some characters of dark energy can be more intuitively described in our model. By analysis, we can predict that the fate of universe would be a Big Rip in the future, and also find that the state parameters for the two different constraint conditions wФ are consistent with the present cosmological observations.     

A Two-Field Dilaton Model of Dark Energy

We investigate the cosmological evolution of a two-field model of dark energy, where one is a dilaton field with canonical kinetic energy and the other is a phantom field with a negative kinetic energy term. Phase-plane analysis shows that the ＂phantom＂-dominated scaling solution is the stable late-time attractor of this type of model. We find that during the evolution of the universe, the equation of state w changes from w 〉 -1 to w 〈 -1, which is consistent with recent observations.     

Bianchi Type-III Dark Energy Model in a Saez-Ballester Scalar-Tensor Theory

In this paper, we investigate Bianchi type-III universe which has dynamical energy density. We introduce three different skewness parameters along spatial directions to quantify the deviation of pressure from isotropy. We also assume that the skewness parameters are time dependent. The Saez-Ballester (J. Phys. Lett. A 113:467, 1986) field equations have been solved by applying a variation law for generalized Hubble’s parameter given by Bermann (Nuovo Cimento B 74:182, 1983). Some physical and kinematical properties of dark energy model are discussed.     

A Modified Dark Energy Model and Quintessence

The observational data indicate that about 70 % of the total energy density of the current state universe has been occupied by Dark Energy. This is said to be the cause of the accelerated expansion of universe. In this letter we shall use a curvature constant as a scalar field in the quintessence Dark Energy model, for an isotropic universe. Connected to the so-called model, we will specify a definite dynamical field equation from the initial action of the theory.     

A Dark Energy Model in a Scale Covariant Theory of Gravitation

An axially symmetric Bianchi type-I space time with variable equation of state (EoS) parameter and constant deceleration parameter has been investigated in scale covariant theory of gravitation formulated by Canuto et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 39:429, 1977). With the help of special law of variation for Hubble’s parameter proposed by Bermann (Nuovo Cimento 74B:182, 1983) a dark energy cosmological model is obtained in this theory. Some physical and kinematical properties of the model are also discussed.     

Bianchi Type-V Dark Energy Model in a Scalar-Tensor Theory of Gravitation

A spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-V universe with variable equation of state (EoS) parameter and constant deceleration parameter is obtained in a scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (Phys. Lett. A 113:467, 1986). The physical and kinematical properties of the universe have been discussed.     

Constraining a New Type of Dark Energy Model from Present Observations

We propose a new type of dark energy (DE) model, in which the equation of state of DE ω de is a simple function of the fractional energy density de instead of the redshift z. We assume three DE models of this type, and fit them with present observations to get constraints of DE, which are also compared with the CPL model. It is shown that a suitable ω de (Ωde ) model can give smaller χ2 or smaller errors of ω de than that of the CPL model. This new type of DE model can help to study the essential properties and nature of DE.     

Cosmic Acceleration in a Model of Interacting Massive Gravitons Dark Energy

We propose an alternative understanding of gravity, resulting from the extension of N. Wu’s gauge theory of gravity with massive gravitons, which are minimally coupled to massless gravitons. Based on this, we derive the equations of state for massive gravitons. We study the dynamics of these massive gravitons in a flat, homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe. We calculate the critical points of the massive graviton dark energy interacting with background perfect fluid. These calculations may have crucial implications for the massive gravitons and dark energy theories. They could, therefore, have important repercussions for current cosmological problems.     

Thermodynamical Aspects of Modified Holographic Dark Energy Model

We investigate the unified first law and the generalized second law in a modified holographic dark energy model. The thermodynamical analysis on the apparent horizon can work and the corresponding entropy formula is extracted from the systematic algorithm. The entropy correction term depends on the extra-dimension number of the brane as expected, but the interplay between the correction term and the extra dimensions is more complicated. With the unified first law of thermodynamics well-founded, the generalized second law of thermodynamics is discussed and it is found that the second law can be violated in certain circumstances. Particularly, if the number of the extra dimensions is larger than one, the generalized law of thermodynamics is always satisfied; otherwise, the validity of the second law can only be guaranteed with the Hubble radius greatly smaller than the crossover scale rcof the 5-dimensional DGP model.     

Interacting Holographic Polytropic Gas Model of Dark Energy

In this work, we establish a correspondence between the holographic dark energy model and polytropic gas model of dark energy in the FRW universe. This correspondence allows us to reconstruct the potential and the dynamics for the scalar field of the polytropic model according to the evolution of holographic dark energy in the FRW universe.
