The non-minimal coupling constant and the primordial de Sitter state
Dynamical systems methods are used to investigate dynamics of a flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker cosmological model with the non-minimally coupled scalar field and a potential function.

An Effective Sign Switching Dark Energy: Lotka–Volterra Model of Two Interacting Fluids
One of the recent attempts to address the Hubble and S8 tensions is to consider that the Universe started out not as a de Sitter-like spacetime, but rather anti-de Sitter-like. That is, the Universe underwent an “AdS-to-dS” transition at some point.

Primordial Dark Energy from a Condensate of Spinors in a 5D Vacuum
We explore the possibility that the expansion of the universe can be driven by a condensate of spinors which are free of interactions in a 5D relativistic vacuum defined in an extended de Sitter spacetime which is Riemann flat.

Susskind's Challenge to the Hartle-Hawking No-Boundary Proposal and Possible Resolutions [PDF]
Given the observed cosmic acceleration, Leonard Susskind has presented the following argument against the Hartle-Hawking no-boundary proposal for the quantum state of the universe: It should most likely lead to a nearly empty large de Sitter universe ...

The Maxwell–Chern–Simons gravity, and its cosmological implications
We consider the cosmological implications of a gravitational theory containing two vector fields coupled via a generalized Chern–Simons term. One of the vector fields is the usual Maxwell field, while the other is a constrained vector field with constant

On quantum corrections to geodesics in de-Sitter spacetime
We find a coordinate-independent wave-packet solution of the massive Klein–Gordon equation with the conformal coupling to gravity in the de-Sitter universe.

Vanishing Cosmological Constant in Modified Gauss-Bonnet Gravity with Conformal Anomaly [PDF]
We consider dark energy cosmology in a de Sitter universe filled with quantum conformal matter. Our model represents a Gauss-Bonnet model of gravity with contributions from quantum effects. To the General Relativity action an arbitrary function of the GB

Emergent dark matter in late time universe on holographic screen
We discuss a scenario that the dark matter in late time universe emerges as part of the holographic stress-energy tensor on the hypersurface in higher dimensional flat spacetime.

Islands in proliferating de Sitter spaces
We study two-dimensional de Sitter universe which evolves and proliferates according to the Ginsparg-Perry-Bousso-Hawking mechanism, using Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity coupled to conformal matter.

Negative phase velocity of electromagnetic waves and the cosmological constant
Examining the propagation of electromagnetic plane waves with the wavevector directed in opposition to the time-averaged Poynting vector in cosmological spacetime with piecewise uniform metric, we show that such negative-phase-velocity (NPV) propagation ...
