Expansion history with decaying vacuum: a complete cosmological scenario

JAS Lima, S Basilakos, J Solà - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
We propose a novel cosmological scenario with the space–time emerging from a pure initial
de Sitter stage and subsequently evolving into the radiation, matter and dark energy …

[HTML][HTML] A parametric model for dark energy

EM Barboza Jr, JS Alcaniz - Physics Letters B, 2008 - Elsevier
Determining the mechanism behind the current cosmic acceleration constitutes a major
question nowadays in theoretical physics. If the dark energy route is taken, this problem may …

Constraining a dark matter and dark energy interaction scenario with a dynamical equation of state

W Yang, N Banerjee, S Pan - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
In this work we have used the recent cosmic chronometer data along with the latest
estimation of the local Hubble parameter value, H 0 at 2.4% precision as well as the …

From inflation to dark energy through a dynamical Λ: an attempt at alleviating fundamental cosmic puzzles

S Basilakos, JAS Lima, J Sola - International Journal of Modern …, 2013 - World Scientific
After decades of successful hot big-bang paradigm, cosmology still lacks a framework in
which the early inflationary phase of the universe smoothly matches the radiation epoch and …

Cosmological consequences of a possible -dark matter interaction

FEM Costa, JS Alcaniz - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2010 - APS
We propose a general class of interacting models in which the interaction between the cold
dark matter component and Λ is parametrized by an arbitrary function of the cosmic scale …

Modified gravity with a nonminimal gravitational coupling to matter

Y Bisabr - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2012 - APS
We consider modified theories of gravity with a direct coupling between matter and
geometry, denoted by an arbitrary function in terms of the Ricci scalar. Because of such a …

New coupled quintessence cosmology

JF Jesus, RC Santos, JS Alcaniz, JAS Lima - Physical Review D—Particles …, 2008 - APS
A component of dark energy has been recently proposed to explain the current acceleration
of the Universe. Unless some unknown symmetry in Nature prevents or suppresses it, such …

Chameleon Brans-Dicke cosmology

Y Bisabr - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2012 - APS
We consider a generalized Brans-Dicke model in which the scalar field has a potential
function and is also allowed to couple nonminimally with the matter sector. We assume a …

[HTML][HTML] On the equivalence of Λ (t) and gravitationally induced particle production cosmologies

LL Graef, FEM Costa, JAS Lima - Physics Letters B, 2014 - Elsevier
The correspondence between cosmological models powered by a decaying vacuum energy
density and gravitationally induced particle production is investigated. Although being …

AIC, BIC, Bayesian evidence against the interacting dark energy model

M Szydłowski, A Krawiec, A Kurek… - The European Physical …, 2015 - Springer
Recent astronomical observations have indicated that the Universe is in a phase of
accelerated expansion. While there are many cosmological models which try to explain this …
