Cosmic evolution of ghost dark energy models in f(G,T) gravity

The aim of this paper is to study the reconstruction paradigm for both ghost as well as generalized ghost dark energy models in the context of [Formula: see text] gravity. To accomplish this, we use correspondence scenario for pressureless flat FRW universe with power-law scale factor. The cosmological behavior of reconstructed models is analyzed through graphical analysis of deceleration, equation of state, squared speed of sound parameters and phase planes. It is found that the deceleration parameter represents accelerated epoch for both models whereas equation of state parameter indicates phantom era of the universe for ghost dark energy model and quintessence for its generalized version. The phase planes [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] indicate the freezing region with phantom phase for both reconstructed dark energy models. We conclude that the squared speed of sound parameter leads to the stability of generalized ghost dark energy model only.

Generalized ghost dark energy in DGP model

In 2000, Dvali et al. [4-D gravity on a brane in 5-D Minkowski space, Phys. Lett. B 485 (2000) 208–214] proposed a new braneworld model named as DGP model, having two branches with [Formula: see text]. Former one [Formula: see text] known as accelerating branch, which explains accelerating phase of the Universe without adding cosmological constant or Dark energy (DE), whereas later one [Formula: see text] represents the decelerating branch. Here, we have investigated the behavior of Generalized Ghost Dark Energy (GGDE) under the decelerating branch of DGP model. We have studied the importance of GGDE model to explain the current phase of the Universe. To check the validity of the present model, we study the behavior of different cosmological parameters such as Hubble parameter, equation of state (EoS) parameter and deceleration parameter with respect to scale factor. Then, we have analyzed the [Formula: see text] to confirm no freezing region of this study and point out thawing region. Furthermore, we have checked the gradient of stability by calculating the squared sound speed. Then, we extend our study to check the viability of this model under investigation through the analysis of statefinder diagnosis parameters for the present cosmological setup.

Ghost dark energy in the deformed Hořava–Lifshitz cosmology

We study the cosmological consequences of the ghost models of dark energy (DE) in the framework of Hořava–Lifshitz gravity. We calculate the equation-of-state parameter, the deceleration parameter, the classical stability and the dimensionless density parameter of the models in both noninteracting and interacting scenarios. We find that, for some values of the parameter, this model can admit a transition from the deceleration phase to the accelerated phase around [Formula: see text], while at the late time ([Formula: see text]) we have [Formula: see text] meaning that this model mimics a cosmological constant. We find that in the setup of Hořava–Lifshitz gravity, ghost dark energy (GDE) models are classically unstable. We observe that unlike the generalized ghost dark energy (GGDE), the ghost dark energy cannot provide proper behavior for all the cosmological parameters simultaneously, with the same values of the models’ couplings.

Anisotropic behavior of dark energy models in fractal cosmology

We study effects of anisotropy (although low) on the ghost and generalized ghost dark energy (DE) models in the framework of fractal cosmology. We obtain the equation of state parameter, [Formula: see text], the deceleration parameter, and the evolution equation of the ghost and generalized ghost dark energy. We find that, in both models, [Formula: see text] cannot cross the phantom line and eventually the universe approaches a de-Sitter phase of expansion. We show that the anisotropy effects on ghost and generalized ghost dark energy (GDE) in fractal cosmology correspond to [Formula: see text]CDM limit on the statefinder plane. We evaluate the anisotropy effects on both the linear perturbation and the spherical collapse from the DE models and compare them with the results of the DE of the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker and [Formula: see text]CDM models. We also show that in ghost and generalized ghost cosmologies, the growth factor [Formula: see text] rise front the values for an [Formula: see text]CDM universe. Finally, we constrain the model parameters by using the maximum likelihood analysis and a combined dataset of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) and OHD.
