A Theoretical Study of the Characteristics of Time Evolution of Some Cosmological Parameters (original) (raw)

Time evolution of dark energy and other cosmological parameters

Physics Essays, 2017

This article is a continuation of a former article, taking account of recent observational results a.o. from the Planck mission. The adopted approach starts considering a hot big bang scenario for an universe with Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric, the spatial curvature parameter k = 0 and the cosmological constant Λ= 0. It does not contradict the standard model (now called « Λ-CDM model ») except on a point : the acceleration of the expansion of the universe is not related to the cosmological constant but to a « dark energy » component α which is mostly constant in time and is a constitutive part of the Hubble parameter. Using a reversed method, it is shown that the scale factor evolves in a similar way as in the Λ-CDM model for the past epochs but that the acceleration in the future is less pronounced. The evolution of several cosmological parameters from the end of an inflationary stage till now is given as was done in the former article. The major difference is that, instead of imposing the pressure to be nil at present time in order to comply with the equation of state for the matter-dominated era, the pressure – density ratio is left free to be negative. The pressure then naturally becomes negative around 7.12 Gyrs after the big bang. It is shown that the contribution of dark energy is negligible during the radiation-dominated era but becomes of the order of the contribution of matter during the matter-dominated era which solves the coincidence problem.

Time Dependence of Various Cosmological Parameters in the Framework of Kaluza-Klein Space-Time

International Journal of Scientific Research in Science and Technology, 2019

A theoretical model, regarding the time dependence of several cosmological parameters, has been constructed in the present study, in the framework of Kaluza-Klein theory, using its field equations for a spatially flat metric. Time dependent empirical expressions of the cosmological constant and the equation of state (EoS) parameter have been substituted into the field equations to determine the time dependence of various cosmological parameters. Time variations of these parameters have been shown graphically. The cosmological features obtained from this model are found to be in agreement with the observed characteristics of the accelerating universe. Interestingly, the signature flipping of the deceleration parameter, from positive to negative, is predicted by this model, indicating a transformation of the universe from a state of decelerated expansion to accelerated expansion, as obtained from astrophysical observations. Time dependence of the gravitational constant (G), energy density (?), cosmological constant (?) and the EoS parameter (?) have been determined and depicted graphically in the present study.

Time evolution of the cosmological “constant”

Physics Letters B, 1987

We discuss cosmologies where the cosmological constant X depends on time. The requirements of realistic cosmology impose restrictions on the functional dependence of J~ on the Hubble parameter H. We show that for a wide class of functions with X of the order H 3 the system of field equations leads to a stable fix-point behaviour with h naturally very small today. The age of the universe, critical matter density and deceleration parameter may be modified.

VARIATIONS OF THE GRAVITATIONAL CONSTANT WITH TIME IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE EXPANDING UNIVERSE

This paper is an attempt to find an answer in the matter of expanding universe from the time variance of the gravitational constant point of view. We took as reference the equivalent variation of the gravitational constant of a static universe and report the observational data to it. The equivalent variation of the gravitational constant of a static universe is estimated in a reference universe hypothesis. An expanding force is balanced by an attracting force and this is the basis from which we can establish a formal time variance for the gravitational constant in two cases. The first one correspond to an expanding universe, hence this case can't be a reference for our evaluation. The second case corresponds to a static universe and it is the same as a de Sitter universe. This is the reason why this case can be a reference case. Thus the observational data smaller than our reference theoretical value, are linked to a collapsing universe and the observational data greater than the same reference value are characteristic to an expanding universe.

Some investigations on a cosmological model

This paper contains the study of a six-dimensional space time, in which there are determined the scale factors A(t), B(t), C(t), D(t) and E(t) with the help of the Einstein field equation and of the energy momentum tensor for the case of the perfect fluid. We have also evaluated some cosmological terms, like energy density ρ, energy pressure p, the Hubble parameter H, the deceleration parameter q, the anistropic mean A, and proved that all the parameters diverges at t = − c1 nl , which emphasize this point as being a singular one. Plots for the comparative study of scale factors and cosmological terms are provided. M.S.C. 2010: 85A40, 83F05.

Late Time Behavior of the Cosmological Model in Modified Theory of Gravity

Journal of High Energy Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology, 2022

We report a viable exponential gravity model for the accelerated expansion of the universe in Bianchi h VI space-time. By considering the estimated physical parameters, the cosmological models are constructed and analyzed in detail. We found that the state parameter in both the models increases to a higher negative range in an early epoch of the phantom domain and it goes to the positive domain at a late phase of the evolution. The effective cosmological constant remains in a positive domain for both models, which is a good sign of accelerating expansion of the universe.

Time Evolution of Various Cosmological Parameters and Their Inter-Dependence in the Framework of Brans-Dicke Theory

A theoretical model, regarding the time dependence of several cosmological parameters, has been constructed in the framework of generalized Brans-Dicke theory, using its field equations for spatially flat FRW metric. An empirical expression of the scalar field parameter, written in terms of the scale factor, has been substituted into the field equations to obtain expressions of Brans-Dicke dimensionless parameter (𝜔) and the density of matter (𝜌), in terms of several relevant cosmological parameters. The dark energy, which is regarded as responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe, is assumed to have generated from matter. On the basis of a model of matter to dark energy conversion, an expression of the density of dark energy has been derived. Using these relations of matter and dark energy density, expressions regarding the proportions of matter and dark energy have been formulated. To study the time dependence of all these quantities, an empirical time dependent expression of scale factor has been incorporated into their expressions. This scale factor expression has been so chosen that, the deceleration parameter derived from it, changes sign from positive to negative, as time goes on, implying the widely accepted change of phase from deceleration to acceleration, in cosmic expansion. Time dependence of gravitational constant and various other parameters and their interdependence have been depicted graphically.

A Modified Dynamical Model of Cosmology

2018

A modified dynamical model of cosmology is derived based on imposing Neumann boundary condition on cosmological perturbation equations. Then, it is shown that a new term appears in the equation of motion which leads to a modified Poisson equation with a new density term. In addition, a modified Hubble parameter due to the presence of this new density term is derived. Moreover, it is proved that, without a cosmological constant, such model has a late time accelerated expansion with an equation of state converging to w<-1. Also, the luminosity distance in the present model is shown to differ from that of the LCDM model at high red shifts. Furthermore, it is found that the adiabatic sound speed squared is positive in radiation dominated era and then converges to zero at later times. We bound the parameters of the model based on Type Ia Supernovae, Hubble parameter data and the age of the oldest stars. Theoretical implications of Neumann boundary condition has been discussed and it i...

A Dynamic Model of Accelerated Expansion of Universe

We establish a dynamic effective model for explaining the accelerated expansion of the universe. The model is based on the quantum theory of gravity that predicts the existence of the negative gravitational charges. We show that the results of this model are equivalent to that of the dark energy models, and therefore, consistent with the observations. We suggest that the accelerated expansion of the universe is an observational evidence of the existence of the negative gravitational charges. This model predicts that the universe filled with negative gravitational charges is accelerated collapse. Moreover we propose an alternative physical interpretation that the cosmological constant is equivalent to the negative gravitational charges as a source of gravitational fields. This interpretation avoids the fine-tuning problem. This dynamic model predicts that the equation of state, the cosmological constant and the acceleration of the expansion of the universe are time dependent.
