Dynamics of Kantowski-Sachs universe with magnetized anisotropic Dark Energy

Kantowski-Sachs cosmological model in the presence of magnetized anisotropic dark energy is investigated. The energy-momentum tensor consists of anisotropic fluid with anisotropic EoS p=ωρ and a uniform magnetic field of energy density ρ _B . We obtain exact solutions to the field equations using the condition that expansion is proportional to the shear scalar. The physical behavior of the model is discussed with and without magnetic field. We conclude that universe model as well as anisotropic fluid does not approach isotropy through the evolution of the universe.     

Dynamics of a magnetized Bianchi VI 0 universe with anisotropic fluid

We discuss spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type VI ₀ cosmological model with anisotropic fluid and magnetic field. The energy-momentum tensor consists of anisotropic fluid with anisotropic EoS and a uniform magnetic field of energy density ρ _B . Exact solution of the field equations is obtained by using the condition that expansion is proportional to the shear scalar. We focus on the future evolution of the model both in the presence and absence of magnetic field. In particular, we address the question whether these models approach to isotropy.     

Bianchi Type III magnetized massive string cosmological model for perfect fluid distribution in general relativity

Bianchi Type III massive string cosmological model for perfect fluid distribution in the presence of magnetic field, is investigated. It is assumed that the universe is filled with barotropic perfect fluid. We have attempted to investigate Bianchi Type III string cosmological model incorporating perfect fluid with magnetic field. To get the deterministic model in terms of cosmic time, we have assumed that the expansion (θ) in the model is proportional to the shear. We have also assumed that F ₁₂ is the only non-vanishing component of electromagnetic field tensor F _ij . The behaviour of the model in presence and absence of magnetic field together with singularities in these models are also discussed.     

Holographic dark energy model with variable deceleration parameter,cosmic coincidence and the future singularity of the Kantowski-Sachs universe

The present work deals with a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Kantowski-Sachs space time filled with two minimally interacting fluids; dark matter and a hypothetical anisotropic fluid as the holographic dark energy components. To obtain an exact solution of the Einstein’s field equations, we used the assumption of linearly varying deceleration parameter. We have investigated geometric and kinematic properties of the model and the role of the anisotropic holographic dark energy in the evolution of the Kantowski-Sachs universe. Under the suitable condition, it is observed that the anisotropy parameter of the universe and the skewness parameter of the holographic dark energy approaches to zero for large cosmic time and the universe can achieve flatness for some particular moments throughout its entire lifetime. Results show that the coincidence parameter $( \Re= \frac{\rho_{\varLambda}}{\rho_{M}} )$ increases with increasing time and a big rip type future singularity will occur for this model. We have also applied the statefinder diagnostics method to study the behavior of different stages of the universe and to differentiate the proposed dark energy model from the ΛCDM model. Since in this model, the universe has a finite life time and passes through a significant time when the dark energy and the matter energy densities are roughly comparable, so considering $\frac{1}{ \Re_{0}} <\Re < \Re_{0}$ , where ?₀ is any fixed ratio, we have calculated the fraction of total life time of the universe when the universe passes through the coincidental stage for this future singularity. The results are found to be consistent with recent cosmological observations.     

Bianchi type-V universe with wet dark fluid

The Bianchi type-V universe filled with dark energy from a wet dark fluid has been considered. A new equation of state for the dark energy component of the universe has been used. It is modeled on the equation of state p=γ(ρ?ρ _? ) which can describe a liquid, for example water. The exact solutions to the corresponding field equations are obtained in quadrature form. The solution for constant deceleration parameter have been studied in detail for power-law and exponential forms both. The case $\gamma =\frac{1}{3}$ has been also analysed.     

Non-vacuum solutions of Bianchi type VI0 universe in f(R) gravity

In this paper, we solve the field equations in metric f(R) gravity for Bianchi type VI ₀ spacetime and discuss evolution of the expanding universe. We find two types of non-vacuum solutions by taking isotropic and anisotropic fluids as the source of matter and dark energy. The physical behavior of these solutions is analyzed and compared in the future evolution with the help of some physical and geometrical parameters. It is concluded that in the presence of isotropic fluid, the model has singularity at [(t)\tilde]=0\tilde{t}=0 and represents continuously expanding shearing universe currently entering into phantom phase. In anisotropic fluid, the model has no initial singularity and exhibits the uniform accelerating expansion. However, the spacetime does not achieve isotropy as t→∞ in both of these solutions.     

Study of Bianchi I anisotropic model in f(R,T) gravity

We discuss the Bianchi type I model with perfect fluid as matter content in f(R,T) gravity, where R is the Ricci scalar and T is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. We obtain exact solutions of the field equations employing the anisotropic feature of spacetime for two expansion laws namely exponential and power expansions. The physical and kinematical quantities are examined for both cases in future evolution of the universe. We also explore the validity of null energy condition and conclude that our solutions are consistent with the current observations.     

Interacting holographic dark energy with variable deceleration parameter and tachyon scalar field dark energy model in LRS Bianchi type-II universe

In this work, we have considered the spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-II universe filled with two interacting fluids; dark matter and holographic dark energy components. Assuming the proportionality relation between one of the components of shear scalar and expansion scalar which yields time dependent deceleration parameter, an exact solution to Einstein’s field equations in Bianchi type-II line element is obtained. We have investigated geometric and kinematics properties of the model and the behaviour of the holographic dark energy. It is observed that the mean anisotropic parameter is uniform through the whole evolution of the universe and the coincidence parameter increases with increasing time. The solutions are also found to be in good agreement with the results of recent observations. We have applied the statefinder diagnostics method to study the behaviour of different stages of the universe and to differentiate the proposed dark energy model from the ΛCDM model. We have also established a correspondence between the holographic dark energy model and the tachyon scalar field dark energy model. We have reconstructed the potential and the dynamics of the tachyon scalar field, which describes accelerated expansion of the universe.     

The study of Gödel type solutions in f(R, ϕ) gravity

The aim of this paper is to study the Gödel type universe in modified f(R, ϕ) theory of gravity, where R stands for Ricci scalar and ϕ be the scalar potential. We investigate the modified field equations by using anisotropic and perfect fluid distributions. In particular, we consider two proposed models with some fixed values of parameters and investigate the exact solutions. The behaviour of energy conditions can be seen by a detailed graphical analysis. Furthermore, Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation has been studied for both models in this theory. We have also discussed some exact solutions using perfect fluid. It is concluded that f(R, ϕ) theory of gravity support the phenomenon of cosmic expansion of the universe through Gödel type universe for both models.     

Thermal relic abundance and anisotropy due to modified gravity

Alternative cosmologies, based on extensions of General Relativity, predict modified thermal histories in the early universe during the pre Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) era. When the expansion rate is enhanced with respect to the standard case, thermal relics typically decouple with larger relic abundances. In this paper, we study the dynamical evolution of an f(R) model of gravity in a homogeneous and anisotropic background which is given by a Bianchi type-I model of the universe filled with dark matter, which is described by a perfect fluid with a barotropic equation of state. As an example of a consistent analysis of modified gravity, we apply the formalism to a simple background solution of R+βR ⁿ gravity. Our analysis shows that f(R) cosmology allows dark matter masses lesser than 100 GeV, in the regime ρ ^c ?ρ ^m . We finally discuss how these limits apply to some specific realizations of standard cosmologies: an f(R) gravity model, Einstein frame model.     

Bianchi type VI0 magnetized bulk viscous massive string cosmological model in General Relativity

The paper consists of some exact solutions for a homogeneous Bianchi type VI₀ universe. The material distribution is taken to be a magnetized bulk viscous fluid in presence of massive cosmological string. We assume that current is flowing along x-direction. Therefore, the magnetic field is in yz-plane. For deterministic model of the universe, we assume that shear (σ) is proportional to the expansion (θ) and ζ θ=constant=ξ where ζ the coefficient of bulk viscosity and θ the expansion in the model. The physical and kinematical parameters of the models thus formed are discussed.     

Functional form of f(R) with power-law expansion in anisotropic model

In this paper, we study an anisotropic Bianchi-I space-time model in f(R) theory of gravity in the presence of perfect fluid as a matter contains. The aim of this paper is to find the functional form of f(R) from the field equations and hence the solution of various cosmological parameters. We assume that the deceleration parameter to be a constant, and the shear scalar proportional to the expansion scalar to obtain the power-law form of the scale factors. We find that the model describes the decelerated phases of the universe under the choice of certain constraints on the parameters. The model does not show the acceleration expansion and also transition from past deceleration to present accelerating epoch. We discuss the stability of the functional form of f(R) and find that it is completely stable for describing the decelerating phase of the universe.     

Cosmological evolution for dark energy models in f(T) gravity

In this paper, we investigate the behavior of equation of state parameter and energy density for dark energy in the framework of f(T) gravity. For this purpose, we use anisotropic LRS Bianchi type I universe model. The behavior of accelerating universe is discussed for some well-known f(T) models. It is found that the universe takes a transition between phantom and non-phantom phases for f(T) models except exponential and logarithmic models. We conclude that our results are relativity analogous to the results of FRW universe.     

Anisotropic cosmological models in f(R,T) gravity according to holographic and new agegraphic dark energy

The paper deals with a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic universe filled with perfect fluid and dark energy components. We consider the f(R,T) theory according to holographic and new agegraphic dark energy in the Bianchi type I universe. In this study, we concentrate on two particular models of f(R,T) gravity namely, R+2f(T) and f(R)+λT. We conclude that the derived f(R,T) models can represent phantom or quintessence regimes of the universe.     

Anisotropic ghost dark energy cosmological model with hybrid expansion law

In this paper, we study the anisotropic Bianchi type-VI₀ metric filled with dark matter and anisotropic ghost dark energy. We have solved the Einstein's field equations by considering hybrid expansion law (HEL) for the average scale factor. It is found that at later times the universe becomes spatially homogeneous, isotropic and flat. From a state finder diagnosis, it is found that our model is having similar behavior like ɅCDM model at late phase of cosmic time.     

Holographic dark energy with linearly varying deceleration parameter and escaping big rip singularity of the Bianchi type-V universe

The present work deals with the accretion of two minimally interacting fluids: dark matter and a hypothetical isotropic fluid as the holographic dark energy components onto black hole and wormhole in a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-V universe. To obtain an exact solution of the Einstein’s field equations, we use the assumption of linearly varying deceleration parameter. Solution describes effectively the actual acceleration and indicates a big rip type future singularity of the universe. We have studied the evolution of the mass of black hole and the wormhole embedded in this anisotropic universe in order to reproduce a stable universe protected against future-time singularity. It is observed that the accretion of these dark components leads to a gradual decrease and increase of black hole and wormhole mass respectively. Finally, we have found that contrary to our previous case (Sarkar in Astrophys. Space. Sci. 341:651, 2014a), the big rip singularity of the universe with a divergent Hubble parameter of this dark energy model may be avoided by a big trip.     

Magnetized Stiff Fluid Tilted Universe for Perfect Fluid Distribution in General Relativity

We have investigated magnetized stiff fluid Bianchi Type I anisotropic tilted cosmological model for perfect fluid distribution in General Relativity. It has been assumed that the expansion in the model is only in two directions i.e. one of the Hubble parameter (H₁ = A₄/A); is zero. It has been shown that tilted nature of the model is preserved due to magnetic field. The various physical and geometrical aspects of the model is also discussed.     

(Non-)geodesic motion in chameleon Brans Dicke model

Based on Das and Banerjee (Phys. Rev D 78:043512, 2008), we assume there is a non-minimal coupling between scalar field and matter in the Brans-Dicke model. We analyzes the motion of different matter such as, massless scalar field, photon, massless perfect fluid (dust), massive perfect fluid and point particle matter in this study. We show that the motion of massless scalar field and photon can satisfy null geodesic motion only in high frequency limit. Also we find that the motion of the dust and massive perfect fluid is geodesic for L _m =?P and it is non-geodesic for L _m =ρ. Finally, we study the motion of point particle and show that the motion of this kind of matter is like massive perfect fluid.     

Bianchi type V viscous fluid cosmological models in presence of decaying vacuum energy

Bianchi type V viscous fluid cosmological model for barotropic fluid distribution with varying cosmological term Λ is investigated. We have examined a cosmological scenario proposing a variation law for Hubble parameter H in the background of homogeneous, anisotropic Bianchi type V space-time. The model isotropizes asymptotically and the presence of shear viscosity accelerates the isotropization. The model describes a unified expansion history of the universe indicating initial decelerating expansion and late time accelerating phase. Cosmological consequences of the model are also discussed.     

Bulk viscous cosmological models in f(R,T) theory of gravity

We have constructed Locally Rotationally Symmetric Bianchi type I (LRSBI) cosmological models in the f(R,T) theory of gravity when the source of gravitation is the bulk viscous fluid. The models are constructed for f(R,T)=R+2f(T) and f(R,T)=f ₁(R)+f ₂(T). We found that in the first case the model degenerates into effective stiff fluid model of the universe. In the second case we obtained degenerate effective stiff fluid model as well as general bulk viscous models of the universe. Some physical and kinematical properties of the models are also discussed.
