Generalized f ( R , φ , X ) Gravity and the Late - Time Cosmic Acceleration
High-precision observational data have confirmed with startling evidence that the Universe is currently undergoing a phase of accelerated expansion. This phase, one of the most important and challenging current problems in cosmology, represents a new imbalance in the governing gravitational equations. Historically, physics has addressed such imbalances by either identifying sources that were pr...
متن کاملCosmic Acceleration and Modified Gravity
Abstract I briefly discuss some attempts to construct a consistent modification to General Relativity (GR) that might explain the observed late-time acceleration of the universe and provide an alternative to dark energy. I mention the issues facing extensions to GR, illustrate these with two specific examples, and discuss the resulting observational and theoretical obstacles. This article compr...
متن کاملCan neutrino viscosity drive the late time cosmic acceleration ?
In this paper it has been shown that the neutrino bulk viscous stresses can give rise to the late time acceleration of the universe. It is found that a number of spatially flat FRW models with a negative deceleration parameter can be constructed using neutrino viscosity and one of them mimics a ΛCDM model. This does not require any exotic dark energy component or any modification of gravity.
متن کاملGravity-driven acceleration of the cosmic expansion.
It is shown here that a dynamical Planck mass can drive the scale factor of the universe to accelerate. The negative pressure which drives the cosmic acceleration is identified with the unusual kinetic energy density of the Planck field. No potential nor cosmological constant is required. This suggests a purely gravity driven, kinetic inflation. Although the possibility is not ruled out, the bu...
متن کاملHolographic dark energy and late cosmic acceleration
It has been persuasively argued that the number of the effective degrees of freedom of a macroscopic system is proportional to its area rather than to its volume. This entails interesting consequences for cosmology. Here we present a model based on this “holographic principle” that accounts for the present stage of accelerated expansion of the Universe and significantly alleviates the coinciden...
