Mimetic gravity: a review of recent developments and applications to cosmology and astrophysics

L Sebastiani, S Vagnozzi… - Advances in High Energy …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Mimetic gravity is a Weyl‐symmetric extension of General Relativity, related to the latter by a
singular disformal transformation, wherein the appearance of a dust‐like perfect fluid can …

Stability Analysis of the Inhomogeneous Perturbed Einstein Universe in Energy–Momentum Squared Gravity

M Sharif, MZ Gul - Universe, 2023 - mdpi.com
The main objective of this article is to examine the stability of Einstein static universe using
inhomogeneous perturbations in the context of energy–momentum squared gravity. For this …

Emergent universe from energy–momentum squared gravity

M Khodadi, A Allahyari, S Capozziello - Physics of the Dark Universe, 2022 - Elsevier
In order to bypass the big bang singularity, we develop an emergent universe scenario
within a covariant extension of General Relativity known as “Energy–Momentum Squared …

Extended phase-space analysis of the Hořava–Lifshitz cosmology

G Leon, A Paliathanasis - The European Physical Journal C, 2019 - Springer
We examine the phase space of Hořava–Lifshitz cosmology for a wide range of self-
interacting potentials for the scalar field under the detailed-balance condition and without …

Einstein static universe from GUP

K Atazadeh, F Darabi - Physics of the dark universe, 2017 - Elsevier
We consider the existence and stability of the Einstein static universe under the Generalized
Uncertainty Principle (GUP) effects. We show that this solution in the presence of perfect …

Stability of the Einstein Static Universe in Zero-Point Length Cosmology with Topological Defects

K Bhuyan, MM Gohain - arXiv preprint arXiv:2408.14943, 2024 - arxiv.org
Non-singular cosmological models, particularly the idea of emergent cosmology have been
explored to describe the non-singular origin of the Universe. Recently, zero-point length …

Emergent universe in theories with natural UV cutoffs

M Khodadi, K Nozari, EN Saridakis - Classical and Quantum …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the realization of the emergent universe scenario in theories with natural UV

Emergent scenario in mimetic gravity

Q Huang, B Xu, H Huang, F Tu… - Classical and Quantum …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The emergent scenario provides a possible way to avoid the big bang singularity by
assuming that the Universe originates from an Einstein static state. Therefore, an Einstein …
