In this paper, we investigate the anisotropic Kantowski–Sachs model in the f(R, T) theory of gravity proposed by Harko et al. (Phys. Rev. D, 84, 024020, 2011) with scalar field (quintessence or phantom). Here R is the Ricci scalar and T is the trace of the energy–momentum tensor. The field equations have been solved using the fact that scalar expansion is proportional to the shear scalar of the space–time. We explore the behavior of the deceleration parameter, which represents a transition of the universe from the early decelerating phase to the present accelerated phase. Some physical properties and various cosmological distance measures are also obtained and discussed.

In this study, Friedmann–Robertson–Walker space-time filled with a perfect fluid in [Formula: see text] modified theory, where [Formula: see text] is the Ricci scalar and [Formula: see text] is the trace of the energy–momentum tensor of matter, has been considered. The investigation of the phase transition of the universe from the decelerating expansion phase to the accelerating one has been made by adopting a special form of the varying deceleration parameter that is inversely proportional to the Hubble parameter. The exact solution of the field equations has been derived. The kinematic and dynamical quantities of the model have been obtained and their evolutions have been discussed by means of their graphs. The statefinder diagnostic has been used and the age of the universe has been computed for testing the validity of the model. It has been shown that the dominant energy of the model is ordinary matter which behaves as the SCDM model at the beginning and it is a quintessence like fluid which behaves as the [Formula: see text]CDM model at late times.

In this study, we examine two models of the scalar field, that is, a normal scalar field and a tachyon scalar field in [Formula: see text] gravity to describe cosmic acceleration of the universe, where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are Ricci curvature scalar, trace of energy–momentum tensor and kinetic energy of scalar field [Formula: see text], respectively. Using the minimal-coupling Lagrangian [Formula: see text], for both the scalar models we obtain a viable cosmological system, where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are real constants. While a normal scalar field gives a system describing expansion from the deceleration to the late-time acceleration, tachyon field together with [Formula: see text] in the system produces a quintessential expansion which is very close to de Sitter point, where we find a new condition [Formula: see text] for inflation.

In this paper, we have researched tachyon field, k-essence and quintessence dark energy (DE) models for Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe with varying G and [Formula: see text] in f(R, T) gravitation theory. The theory of f(R, T) is proposed by Harko et al. [Phys. Rev. D 84, 024020, 2011]. In this theory, R is the Ricci scalar and T is the trace of energy–momentum tensor. For the solutions of field equations, we have used linearly varying deceleration parameter (LVDP), the equation of state (EoS) and the ratio between [Formula: see text] and Hubble parameter. Also, we have discussed some physical behavior of the models with various graphics.

There exist field theory models where the fermionic energy–momentum tensor contains a term proportional to [Formula: see text] which may contribute to the dark energy. We show that this new field theory effect can be achieved in the Two Measures Field Theory (TMT) in the cosmological context. TMT is an alternative gravity and matter field theory where the gravitational interaction of fermionic matter is reduced to that of General Relativity when the energy density of the fermion matter is much larger than the dark energy density. In this case also the fifth force problem is solved automatically. In the opposite limit, where the magnitudes of fermionic energy density and scalar field dark energy density become comparable, nonrelativistic fermions can participate in the cosmological expansion in a very unusual manner. Some of the features of such Cosmo-Low-Energy-Physics (CLEP) states are studied in a toy model of the late time universe filled with homogeneous scalar field and uniformly distributed nonrelativistic neutrinos, and the following results are obtained: neutrino mass increases as m ∝ a3/2 (a is the scale factor); the proportionality factor in the noncanonical contribution to the neutrino energy–momentum tensor (proportional to the metric tensor) approaches a constant as a(t) → ∞ and therefore the noncanonical contribution to the neutrino energy density dominates over the canonical one ~ m/a3 ~ a-3/2 at the late enough universe; hence the neutrino gas equation-of-state approaches w = -1, i.e. neutrinos in the CLEP regime behave as a sort of dark energy as a → ∞; the equation-of-state for the total (scalar field + neutrino) energy density and pressure also approaches w = -1 in the CLEP regime; besides the total energy density of such universe is less than it would be in the universe filled with the scalar field alone. An analytic solution is presented. A domain structure of the dark energy seems to be possible. We speculate that decays of the CLEP state neutrinos may be both an origin of cosmic rays and responsible for a late super-acceleration of the universe. In this sense the CLEP states exhibit simultaneously new physics at very low densities and for very high particle masses.

The present study deals with a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi-II cosmological model representing massive strings. The energy–momentum tensor, as formulated by Letelier,10 has been used to construct a massive string cosmological model for which the expansion scalar is proportional to one of the components of shear tensor. The Einstein's field equations have been solved by applying a variation law for generalized Hubble's parameter that yields a constant value of deceleration parameter in Bianchi-II spacetime. A comparative study of accelerating and decelerating modes of the evolution of universe has been carried out in the presence of string scenario. The study reveals that massive strings dominate the early Universe. The strings eventually disappear from the Universe for sufficiently large times, which is in agreement with the current astronomical observations.

Motivated by the newly proposal for gravity as the effect of the torsion scalar T and trace of the energy momentum tensor 𝒯, we investigate the cosmological reconstruction of different models of the Universe. Our aim here is to show that how this modified gravity model, f(T, 𝒯) is able to reproduce different epochs of the cosmological history. We explicitly show that f(T, 𝒯) can be reconstructed for ΛCDM as the most popular and consistent model. Also we study the mathematical reconstruction of f(T, 𝒯) for a flat cosmological background filled by two fluids mixture. Such model describes phantom–non-phantom era as well as the purely phantom cosmology. We extend our investigation to more cosmological models like perfect fluid, Chaplygin gas and massless scalar field. In each case we obtain some specific forms of f(T, 𝒯). These families of f(T, 𝒯) contain arbitrary function of torsion and trace of the energy momentum.

A study of Bianchi Type I cosmological model is undertaken in the framework of creation of particles. To accommodate the creation of new particles, the universe is regarded as an Open thermodynamical system. The energy conservation equation is modified with the incorporation of a creation pressure in the energy momentum tensor. Exact solutions of the field equations are obtained (i) for a particular choice of the particle creation function and (ii) by considering the deceleration parameter to be constant. In the first model the behavior of the solution at late times is investigated. The physical aspects of the model have also been discussed. In the case of the second model we have restricted our analysis to the power law behaviour for the average scale factor. This leads to a particular form for the particle creation function. The behavior of the solution is investigated and the physical aspects of the model have also been discussed for the matter dominated era.

AbstractIn this paper we have studied the Kantowski- Sachs cosmological model with the quark and strange quark matter in the f (R) theory of gravity. The general solutions of the field equations are obtained by assuming the physical condition shear scalar σ is proportional to scalar expansion θ, which leads to the relation B = An between metric coefficients B and A. The physical and geometrical aspects of the model are also discussed.

In the present article, we study the physical and geometric scene of the inflection of the Friedmann- Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) and an axially symmetric (AS) perfect fluid Universe with thick domain walls in f(R, T) theory of gravitation [Harko et al., Phys. Rev. D {84} (2011) 024020], where R and T represent Ricci scalar and trace of the stress energy-momentum tensor respectively in the scenario of decelerating-accelerating transition phases. To ascertain the exact solution of the corresponding field equations, we use the concept of a time-subordinate deceleration parameter (DP) which brings forth the scale factor a(t) = sinh^{\frac{1}{n}}(\alpha t), where n and \alpha are positive parameters. For n\in (0.27, 1], a class of accelerating phase is ensured while for n > 1, the Universe attains a phase transition from positive (decelerating) to negative (accelerating) which is uniform with recent observations. The models have been tested for physically acceptable by using stability. More or less physical and geometric behavior of the models are also devoted.

In this study, we have considered Gödel universe in the context of [Formula: see text] modified theory of gravity, where the gravitational Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar [Formula: see text] and the trace of the energy–momentum tensor [Formula: see text]. We have shown that the Gödel solution exists in this modified theory for more general functional form of [Formula: see text] function than it appears in the literature.
