It was recently found that dark energy in the form of phantom generalized Chaplygin gas may lead to a new form of a cosmic doomsday, the Big Freeze singularity. Like the Big Rip singularity, the Big Freeze singularity would also take place at finite future cosmic time, but, unlike the Big Rip, it happens for a finite scale factor. Our goal is to test if a universe filled with phantom generalized Chaplygin gas can conform to the data of astronomical observations. We shall see that if the…

Constraining non-standard cosmological models
Current observational evidence does not yet exclude the possibility that dark energy could be in the form of phantom energy. A universe consisting of a phantom constituent will be driven toward a
Screening of cosmological constant for de Sitter Universe in non-local gravity, phantom-divide crossing and finite-time future singularities
• Physics

We investigate de Sitter solutions in non-local gravity as well as in non-local gravity with Lagrange constraint multiplier. We examine a condition to avoid a ghost and discuss a screening scenario

We investigate various dark energy models by taking into account the thermal effects induced from Hawking radiation on the apparent horizon of the Universe, for example, near a finite-time future

Brane dark energy cosmologies, leading to various possible evolutions of our universe, are investigated. The discussion shows that while all these models can be made arbitrarily close to the standard

A remarkable property of modern cosmology is that it allows for a special case of symmetry, consisting in the possibility of describing the early-time acceleration (inflation) and the late-time
Cosmological evolution, future singularities, Little Rip and Pseudo-Rip in viable f(R) theories and their scalar–tensor counterpart
Modified f(R) gravity is one of the most promising candidates for dark energy, and even for the unification of the whole cosmological evolution, including the inflationary phase. Within this class of

We review different dark energy cosmologies. In particular, we present the ΛCDM cosmology, Little Rip and Pseudo-Rip universes, the phantom and quintessence cosmologies with Type I, II, III and IV

We show that a singularity can occur at a finite future time in an expanding Friedmann universe even when ? > 0 and ? + 3p > 0. Explicit examples are constructed and a simple condition is given which
