The effective potential for the sine-Gordon model in a curved space-time, given by [Formula: see text], has been calculated using the Schrödinger picture formalism. It has been shown that when α(x) → 1 our method reproduces the flat-space results. To show the effect of the curvature term, the effective potential Veff has been calculated numerically for several values of the parameter M, where α(x) has been taken to be of the form [Formula: see text].

The new model of modified F(R)-gravity theory with the function F(R) = R + (a/γ) arcsin (γR) is suggested and investigated. Constant curvature solutions corresponding to the extremum of the effective potential are obtained. We consider both the Jordan and Einstein frames, and the potential and the mass of the scalar degree of freedom are found. It was shown that the de Sitter space-time is unstable but the flat space-time is stable. We calculate the slow-roll parameters ϵ, η, and the e-fold number of the model. Critical points of autonomous equations for the de Sitter phase and the matter dominated epoch are obtained and learned.

We study the evolution of thick domain walls in the expanding universe. We have found that the domain wall evolution crucially depends on the time-dependent parameter C(t) = 1/(H(t)δ0)2, where H(t) is the Hubble parameter and δ0 is the width of the wall in flat space-time. For C(t) > 2 the physical width of the wall, a(t)δ(t), tends with time to constant value δ0, which is microscopically small. Otherwise, when C(t) ≤ 2, the wall steadily expands and can grow up to a cosmologically large size.
