Curvature force and dark energy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A curvature self-interaction of the cosmic gas is shown to mimic a cosmological constant or other forms of dark energy, such as a rolling tachyon condensate or a Chaplygin gas. Any given Hubble rate and deceleration parameter can be traced back to the action of an effective curvature force on the gas particles. This force self-consistently reacts back on the cosmological dynamics. The links between an imperfect fluid description, a kinetic description with effective antifriction forces, and curvature forces, which represent a non-minimal coupling of gravity to matter, are established.

Generalized Curvature-Matter Couplings in Modified Gravity
In this work, we review a plethora of modified theories of gravity with generalized curvature-matter couplings. The explicit nonminimal couplings, for instance, between an arbitrary function of the scalar curvature R and the Lagrangian density of matter, induces a non-vanishing covariant derivative of the energy-momentum tensor, implying non-geodesic motion and, consequently, leads to the appea...
متن کاملAcceleration and Deceleration in Curvature Induced Phantom Model of the Late and Future Universe, Cosmic Collapse as Well as Its Quantum Escape
Here, cosmology of the late and future universe is obtained from f(R)− gravity with non-linear curvature terms R and R (R being the Ricci scalar curvature). It is different from f(R)−dark energy models [6] where non-linear curvature terms are taken as gravitational alternative of dark energy. In the present model, neither linear nor non-linear curvature terms are taken as dark energy. Rather, d...
متن کاملDark energy and cosmic curvature: Monte-Carlo Markov Chain approach
We use the Monte-Carlo Markov Chain method to explore the dark energy property and the cosmic curvature by fitting two popular dark energy parameterizations to the observational data. The new 182 gold supernova Ia data and the ESSENCE data both give good constraint on the DE parameters and the cosmic curvature for the dark energy model w0 + waz/(1 + z). The cosmic curvature is found to be |Ωk| ...
متن کاملCombinatorial Dark Energy
In this paper, we give a conceptual explanation of dark energy as a small negative residual scalar curvature present even in empty spacetime. This curvature ultimately results from postulating a discrete spacetime geometry, very closely related to that used in the dynamical triangulations approach to quantum gravity. In this model, there are no states which have total scalar curvature exactly z...
متن کاملCurvature Effects on Thermal Buckling Load of DWCNT Under Axial Compression Force
In this article, curvature effects on elastic thermal buckling of double-walled carbon nanotubes under axially compressed force are investigated using cylindrical shell model. Also, the small scale effect is taken into account in the formulation. The dependence of the interlayer van der Waals (vdW) pressure on the change of the curvatures of the inner and outer tubes at that point is considered...
