Viscous Dark Energy Models with Variable G and Λ

We consider a cosmological model with bulk viscosity η and variable cosmological A ∝p^-α, alpha = const and gravitational G constants. The model exhibits many interesting cosmological features. Inflation proceeds du to the presence of bulk viscosity and dark energy without requiring the equation of state p =-p. During the inflationary era the energy density p does not remain constant, as in the de-Sitter type. Moreover, the cosmological and gravitational constants increase exponentially with time, whereas the energy density and viscosity decrease exponentially with time. The rate of mass creation during inflation is found to be very huge suggesting that all matter in the universe is created during inflation.     

Dark Energy Models in Plane Symmetric Space-Time with Time Varying Λ Term

This paper deals with the Einstein’s field equations for the space-time described by an inhomogeneous plane symmetric metric in presence of dark energy with time varying cosmological term Λ. The dark energy is given by either the quintessence or Chaplygin gas. It is shown that the models are isotropic and the deceleration parameter of the models is constant.     

Dark Energy Models and Cosmic Acceleration with Anisotropic Universe in f（T） Gravity

This paper is devoted to studing the accelerated expansion of the universe in context of f（T） theory of gravity. For this purpose, we construct different f（T） models and investigate their cosmological behavior through equation of state parameter by using holographic, new agegraphic and their power-law entropy corrected dark energy models. We discuss the graphical behavior of this parameter versus redshif~ for particular values of constant parameters in Bianchi type I universe model. It is shown that the universe lies in different forms of dark energy, namely quintessence, phantom, and quintom corresponding to the chosen scale factors, which depend upon the constant parameters of the models.     

Bianchi Type III Anisotropic Dark Energy Models with?Constant Deceleration Parameter

The Bianchi type III dark energy model with constant deceleration parameter is investigated. The equation of state parameter ω is found to be time dependent and its existing range for this model is consistent with the recent observations of SN Ia data, SN Ia data (with CMBR anisotropy) and galaxy clustering statistics. The physical aspects of the dark energy models is discussed.     

Anisotropic Viscous Cosmology with Variable G and Λ

Einstein's equations with variable gravitational and cosmological constants are considered in the presence of bulk viscosity for a Bianchi type I model in a way which conserves the energy momentum tensor. Several solutions are found, one of which corresponds to the earlier solution found by Tarkeshwar Singh et al. for the isotropic case. Our approach is compared with that of Arbab.     

Dark Energy Coupled with Dark Matter in the Accelerating Universe

To model the observed Universe containing both dark energy and dark matter, we study the effective Yang-Mills condensate model of dark energy and add a non-relativistic matter component as the dark matter, which is generated out of the decaying dark energy at a constant rate Г, a parameter of our model. For the Universe driven by these two components, the dynamic evolution still has asymptotic behaviour: the expansion of the Universe is accelerating with an asymptotically constant rate H, and the densities of both components approach to finite constant values. Moreover, Ω△～ 0.7 for dark energy and Ωm～0.3 for dark matter are achieved if the decay rate Г is chosen such that Г/H ～ 1.     

Dark Energy Coupled with Relativistic Dark Matter in Accelerating Universe

Recent observations favour an accelerating Universe dominated by the dark energy. We take the effective Yang-Mills condensate as the dark energy and couple it to a relativistic matter which is created by the decaying condensate. The dynamic evolution has asymptotic behaviour with finite constant energy densities, and the fractional densities Ω∧ ～0.7 for dark energy and Ωm ～ 0.3 for relativistic matter are achieved at proper values of the decay rate. The resulting expansion of the Universe is in the de Sitter acceleration.     

Phenomenological models of Universe with varying G and Λ

In this article we will consider several phenomenological models for the Universe with varying G and Λ(t), where G is the gravitational ”constant” and Λ(t) is a varying cosmological ”constant”. Two-component fluid model are taken into account. An interaction of the phenomenological form between a barotropic fluid and a quintessence DE is supposed. Three different forms of Λ(t) will be considered. The problem is analysed numerically and behavior of different cosmological parameters investigated graphically. Conclusion and discussions are given at the end of the work. In an Appendix information concerning to the other cosmological parameters is presented.     

Magnetized Bianchi Type III String Universe with Time Decaying Vacuum Energy Density Λ

Exact solution of Einstein’s field equations is obtained for massive string cosmological model of Bianchi III space-time using the technique given by Letelier (Phys. Rev. D 28:2414, 1983) in presence of perfect fluid and decaying vacuum energy density Λ. To get the deterministic solution of the field equations the expansion θ in the model is considered as proportional to the eigen value s² ₂\sigma^{2}_{~2} of the shear tensor s^j _i\sigma^{j}_{~i} and also the fluid obeys the barotropic equation of state. It is observed that the particle density and the tension density of the string are comparable at the two ends and they fall off asymptotically at similar rate. But in early stage as well as at the late time of the evolution of the universe we have two types of scenario (i) universe is dominated by massive strings and (ii) universe is dominated by strings depending on the nature of the two constants L and ℓ. The value of cosmological constant Λ for the model is found to be small and positive which is supported by the results from recent supernovae Ia observations. Some physical and geometric properties of the model are also discussed.     

Bianchi Type III Bulk Viscous Barotropic Fluid Cosmological Models with Variable G and Λ

Bianchi type-Ⅲ bulk viscous barotropic fluid cosmological model with variables G and A is investigated. To obtain the realistic model, we assume the conditions between the metric potentials A, B, C as A/A = B/B = m1/t^N and C/C = m2/t^n, P = p - 3ηH, η =ηop^s, p=γρ, 0 ≤ γ ≤ 1, where p is isotropic pressure,η the coefficient of bulk viscosity, η0 and S the constants, H the Hubble constant, m1 = 2m2 where m1 〉 0, m2 〉 O. The solutions obtained lead to inflationary phase and the results obtained match with the observations. The case n = 1 for S = 1 is also discussed, relating the results with the observations.     

Two-Fluid Anisotropic Cosmological Model with Variable G and Λ

Two-fluid anisotropic Bianchi type-III cosmological model is investigated with variable gravitational constant G and cosmological constant Λ in the framework of Einstein’s general relativity. In the two-fluid model, one fluid represents the matter content of the universe and another fluid is chosen to model the cosmic microwave background radiation. The dynamics of the anisotropic universe with variable G and Λ are discussed. We also discussed in detail the behavior of associated fluid parameters and kinematical parameters.     

Bianchi Type I Viscous Universe with Variable G and Λ

Exact solutions for an anisotropic Bianchi type I model with bulk viscosity and variable G and are obtained. We have found some solutions that correspond to our earlier work for the isotropic one. Unlike Kalligas et al., an inflationary solution with a variable energy density has been found where the anisotropy energy decreases exponentially with time. There is a period of hyper-inflation during which the energy density remains constant.     

Some Exact Bianchi Type-V Perfect Fluid Cosmological Models with Heat Flow and Decaying Vacuum Energy Density Λ: Expressions for Some Observable Quantities

In this paper we have obtained some new exact solutions of Einstein’s field equations in a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-V space-time with perfect fluid distribution along with heat-conduction and decaying vacuum energy density Λ by applying the variation law for generalized Hubble’s parameter that yields a constant value of deceleration parameter. We find that the constant value of deceleration parameter is reasonable for the present day universe. The variation law for Hubble’s parameter generates two types of solutions for the average scale factor, one is of power-law type and other is of the exponential form. Using these two forms, Einstein’s field equations are solved separately that correspond to expanding singular and non-singular models of the universe respectively. The cosmological constant Λ is found to be a decreasing function of time and positive which is corroborated by results from recent supernovae Ia observations. Expressions for look-back time-redshift, neoclassical tests (proper distance d(z)), luminosity distance red-shift and event horizon are derived and their significance are described in detail. The physical and geometric properties of spatially homogeneous and anisotropic cosmological models are discussed.     

LRS Bianchi Type II Bulk Viscous Fluid Universe with?Decaying Vacuum Energy Density Λ

The present study deals with spatially homogeneous and locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type II cosmological models with bulk viscous fluid distribution of matter and decaying vacuum energy density Λ. To get the deterministic models of the universe, we assume that the expansion (θ) in the model is proportional to the shear (σ). This leads to condition R=mS ⁿ , where R and S are metric potentials, m and n are constants. We have obtained two types of models of the universe for two different values of n. The vacuum energy density Λ for both models is found to be a decreasing function of time and it approaches a small positive value at late time which is supported by recent results from the observations of (SN Ia). Some physical and geometric behaviour of these models are also discussed.     

Magnetised Strings in Λ-Dominated Anisotropic Universe

In this paper, we have searched the existence of Λ-dominated anisotropic universe filled with magnetized strings. The observed acceleration of universe has been explained by introducing a positive cosmological constant Λ in the Einstein’s field equation which is mathematically equivalent to dark energy with equation of state (EOS) parameter set equal to ?1. The present values of the matter and the dark energy parameters (Ω_m)₀ & (Ω_Λ)₀ are estimated for high red shift (.3 ≤ z ≤ 1.4) SN Ia supernova data’s of observed apparent magnitude along with their possible error taken from Union 2.1 compilation. It is found that the best fit value for (Ω_m)₀ & (Ω_Λ)₀ are 0.2920 & 0.7076 respectively which are in good agreement with recent astrophysical observations in the latest surveys like WMAP and Plank. Various physical parameters such as the matter and dark energy densities, the present age of the universe and the present value of deceleration parameter have been obtained on the basis of the values of (Ω_m)₀ & (Ω_Λ)₀.Also, we have estimated that the acceleration would have begun in the past at z = 0.6845 i. e. 6.2341 Gyrs before from now.     

Extra Dimensions and Vacuum Dark Energy Models

The role of vacuum energy or cosmological constant in cosmology is discussed in a kind of nontrivial higherdimensional model. Under the framework of Einstein‘s gravity, we obtain the corresponding equations of motion and find that the cosmological constant and vacuum energy in the full regime does not drive its acceleration, but decelerates the expansion of the universe. The dimension of space is required to be n = 3 if we regard vacuum energy or cosmological constant as the candidate to drive the accelerated expansion of the universe.     

Bulk Viscous Cosmological Models with Variable G and Λ

Einstein's equations with variable gravitational and cosmological constants are considered in the presence of bulk viscosity for the spatially flat homogeneous and isotropic universe in a way which conserves the energy momentum tensor. A solution is found in which the cosmological term varies inversely with the square of time. Our approach is compared with that of Arbab.

The coefficient of bulk viscosity is assumed to be a power function of mass density ( = ₀ p ⁿ). The values of cosmological constant for these models are found to be small and positive which is supported by the results from recent supernovae Ia observations. Some physical and geometric aspects of the models are also discussed.
