### A geometric mechanism of vacuum energy cancellation

• Physics
• 2022
We explore a mechanism of geometric cancellation of vacuum energy zero-point ﬂuctuations, resolving de facto the cosmological constant problem. To do so, we assume at primordial times that vacuum

### Unification of inflation and dark matter in the Higgs–Starobinsky model

• Physics
The European Physical Journal C
• 2019
In this work, we propose unified picture of inflation and dark matter in the Higgs–Starobinsky (HS) model. As pointed out in the literature, Starobinsky $$R^2$$R2 inflation is induced by quantum

### Growth of matter perturbations in nonminimal teleparallel dark energy

• Physics
Physical Review D
• 2018
We study the growth rate of matter perturbations in the context of teleparallel dark energy in a flat universe. We investigate the dynamics of different theoretical scenarios based on specific forms

### Extended logotropic fluids as unified dark energy models

• Physics
The European Physical Journal C
• 2019
We study extended classes of logotropic fluids as unified dark energy models. Under the hypothesis of the Anton–Schmidt scenario, we consider a universe obeying a single fluid model with a

### Effects of non-vanishing dark matter pressure in the Milky Way Galaxy

• Physics
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
• 2021
We consider the possibility that the Milky Way’s dark matter halo possesses a non-vanishing equation of state. Consequently, we evaluate the contribution due to the speed of sound, assuming that

### Kinematic reconstructions of extended theories of gravity at small and intermediate redshifts

• Physics
The European Physical Journal Plus
• 2020
In the last few decades, extensions of general relativity have reached always more attention especially in view of possible breakdowns of the standard $$\varLambda$$ΛCDM paradigm at intermediate and

### Extensions of modified Chaplygin gas from Geometrothermodynamics

• Physics
The European Physical Journal C
• 2019
We derive modified classes of Chaplygin gas by using the formalism of Geometrothermodynamics. In particular, our strategy gives us extended versions of Chaplygin gas, providing a novel thermodynamic

### Perfect Fluids in General Relativity: Velocity Potentials and a Variational Principle

The equations of hydrodynamics for a perfect fluid in general relativity are cast in Eulerian form, with the four-velocity being expressed in terms of six velocity potentials:

### An expanding Universe with constant pressure and no cosmological constant

• Physics
• 2012
Thanks to its fitting triumph, the ΛCDM paradigm is assumed to be the most powerful model, for describing the Universe dynamics, over much the myriad of cosmological models. Unfortunately, the quest

### Cosmography and constraints on the equation of state of the Universe in various parametrizations

• Physics
• 2012
We use cosmography to present constraints on the kinematics of the Universe, without postulating any underlying theoretical model. To this end, we use a Monte Carlo Markov Chain analysis to perform

### Dust of dark energy

• Physics
• 2010
We introduce a novel class of field theories where energy always flows along timelike geodesics, mimicking in that respect dust, yet which possess non-zero pressure. This theory comprises two scalar

### The Cosmon model for an asymptotically vanishing time dependent cosmological 'constant'

We investigate the coupled system of gravity and a scalar with exponential potential. The energy momentum tensor of the scalar field induces a time-dependent cosmological “constant”. This adjusts

### Fingerprinting dark energy. II. Weak lensing and galaxy clustering tests

• Physics
• 2010
The characterization of dark energy is a central task of cosmology. To go beyond a cosmological constant, we need to introduce at least an equation of state and a sound speed and consider

### Non-minimally coupled dark matter: effective pressure and structure formation

• Physics
• 2012
We propose a phenomenological model in which a non-minimal coupling between gravity and dark matter is present in order to address some of the apparent small scales issues of ΛCDM model. When

• 2006
We review in detail a number of approaches that have been adopted to try and explain the remarkable observation of our accelerating universe. In particular we discuss the arguments for and recent
