Accelerating Cosmologies with an Anisotropic Equation of State
نویسندگان
چکیده
If the dark energy equation of state is anisotropic, the expansion rate of the universe becomes directiondependent at late times. We show that such models are not only cosmologically viable but that they could explain some of the observed anomalies in the CMB. The possible anisotropy can then be constrained by studying its effects on the luminosity distance-redshift relation inferred from several observations. A vector field action for dark energy is also presented as an example of such possibility. Subject headings: (cosmology:) cosmic microwave background; cosmology: miscellaneous; cosmology: observations; cosmology: theory; cosmology: large-scale structure of universe

Accelerating Cosmologies with an Anisotropic Equation of State: Vector Fields, Modified Gravity and Astrophysical Constraints
We investigate cosmologies where the accelerated expansion of the Universe is driven by a field with an anisotropic equation of state. We model such scenarios within the Bianchi I framework, introducing two skewness parameters to quantify the deviation of pressure from isotropy. Several viable vector alternatives to the inflaton and quintessence scalar fields are found. We reconstruct a vector-...
متن کاملRelativistic Stellar Models with Quadratic Equation of State
In this paper, we have obtained and presented new relativistic stellar configurations considering an anisotropic fluid distribution with a charge distribution and a gravitational potential Z(x) that depends on an adjustable parameter. The quadratic equation of state based on Feroze and Siddiqui viewpoint is used for the matter distribution. The new solutions can be written in terms of elementar...
متن کاملIsotropic and Anisotropic Bouncing Cosmologies in Palatini Gravity
We study isotropic and anisotropic (Bianchi I) cosmologies in Palatini f(R) and f(R,RμνR μν) theories of gravity and consider the existence of non-singular bouncing solutions in the early universe. We find that all f(R) models with isotropic bouncing solutions develop shear singularities in the anisotropic case. On the contrary, the simple quadratic model R+ aR/RP +RμνR /RP exhibits regular bou...

متن کاملCosmological solutions of supercritical string theory
We study quintessence-driven, spatially flat, expanding FRW cosmologies that arise naturally from string theory formulated in a supercritical number of spacetime dimensions. The treelevel potential of the string theory produces an equation of state at the threshold between accelerating and decelerating cosmologies, and the resulting spacetime is globally conformally equivalent to Minkowski spac...
