The present accelerated expansion of the Universe has enriched the list of possible scenarios for its fate, singular or not. In this paper a unifying framework for analyzing such behaviors is proposed, based on generalized power and asymptotic expansions of the barotropic index $w$, or equivalently of the deceleration parameter $q$, in terms of the time coordinate. Besides well-known singular and nonsingular future behaviors, other types of strong singularities appear around the phantom divide…

Interacting realization of cosmological singularities with variable vacuum energy

We examine an interacting dark matter--variable vacuum energy model for a spatially flat Friedmann-Roberston-Walker spacetime, focusing on the appearance of cosmological singularities such as…

Big brake singularity is accommodated as an exotic quintessence field

We describe a big brake singularity in terms of a modified Chaplygin gas equation of state $p=(\ga_{m}-1)\rho+\al\ga_{m}\rho^{-n}$, accommodate this late-time event as an exotic quintessence model…

Singularity formation in asymptotically safe cosmology with inhomogeneous equation of state

Interest in cosmological singularities has remarkably grown in recent times, particularly on future singularities with the discovery of late-time acceleration of the universe and dark energy. While…

New futures for cosmological models

The discovery of accelerated expansion of the Universe opened up the possibility of new scenarios for the doom of our space–time, besides eternal expansion and a final contraction. In this paper, we…

The osgood criterion and finite‐time cosmological singularities

In this paper, we apply Osgood's criterion from the theory of ordinary differential equations to detect finite‐time singularities in a spatially flat FLRW universe in the context of a perfect fluid,…

Observational constraints on cosmological future singularities

In this work we consider a family of cosmological models featuring future singularities. This type of cosmological evolution is typical of dark energy models with an equation of state violating some…

Classical and Quantum f(R) Cosmology: The Big Rip, the Little Rip and the Little Sibling of the Big Rip

The big rip, the little rip and the little sibling of the big rip are cosmological doomsdays predicted by some phantom dark-energy models that could describe the future evolution of our universe.…

Cosmic anisotropic doomsday in Bianchi type I universes

In this paper we study finite time future singularities in anisotropic Bianchi type I models. It is shown that there exist future singularities similar to Big Rip ones (which appear in the framework…

Modified Eddington-inspired-Born-Infeld Gravity with a Trace Term

In this paper, a modified Eddington-inspired-Born-Infeld (EiBI) theory with a pure trace term $$g_{\mu \nu }R$$gμνR being added to the determinantal action is analysed from a cosmological point of…

Singularities in Inflationary Cosmological Models

Due to the accelerated expansion of the universe, the possibilities for the formation of singularities has changed from the classical Big Bang and Big Crunch singularities to include a number of new…

The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time

The theory of the causal structure of a general space-time is developed, and is used to study black holes and to prove a number of theorems establishing the inevitability of singualarities under certain conditions.
