We study models with a generalized inhomogeneous equation of state fluids, in the context of singular inflation, focusing to so-called Type IV singular evolution. In the simplest case, this cosmological fluid is described by an equation of state with constant w, and therefore a direct modification of this constant w fluid is achieved by using a generalized form of an equation of state. We investigate from which models with generalized phenomenological equation of state, a Type IV singular inflation can be generated and what the phenomenological implications of this singularity would be. We support our results with illustrative examples and we also study the impact of the Type IV singularities on the slow-roll parameters and on the observational inflationary indices, showing the consistency with Planck mission results. The unification of singular inflation with singular dark energy era for specific generalized fluids is also proposed. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Canonical scalar field inflation with string and R2-corrections

S. D. Odintsov, V. K. Oikonomou, F. P. Fronimos

Summary: This study explores the combined effects of string and f (R) gravity corrections on canonical scalar field inflation during the inflationary era controlled by a scalar field. By imposing the constraint that the primordial gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light, the dynamics of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with alpha R-2 corrections are investigated. The research demonstrates the interconnectedness of Gauss-Bonnet coupling and scalar potential in the model, as well as the feasibility of extracting scalar potential from equations of motion when freely designating Gauss-Bonnet coupling xi(phi).

Reviving non-minimal Horndeski-like theories after GW170817: kinetic coupling corrected Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet inflation

V. K. Oikonomou, F. P. Fronimos

Summary: Researchers demonstrate how to modify cosmological theories to produce primordial gravitational waves consistent with the GW170817 event by introducing a kinetic coupling correction in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory. By studying the conditions on the scalar field dependent coupling function, they prove the viability of this theoretical framework.

Novel stellar astrophysics from extended gravity

A. Astashenok, S. Capozziello, S. D. Odintsov, V. K. Oikonomou

Summary: Novel implications on neutron stars come from extended gravity. Specifically, new research suggests the possibility of large mass stars in the mass gap region, which may require extensions of General Relativity to successfully describe this phenomenon and speculate on the largest allowed neutron star mass in a quantitative manner.

Anisotropic compact stars in higher-order curvature theory

G. G. L. Nashed, S. D. Odintsov, V. K. Oikonomou

Summary: This paper investigates spherically symmetric spacetime solutions that describe the interior of compact stellar objects within the context of higher-order curvature theory of the f(R) type. By deriving the non-vacuum field equations and solving the system of nonlinear differential equations, the study successfully identifies a specific solution for compact stars. Furthermore, the model is shown to be more stable and different from those in general relativity, with specific implications for the considered compact star Her X-1.

On the occurrence of finite-time singularities in swampland-related quintessence dark energy models

V. K. Oikonomou, Achilles Gitsis, Maria Mitrou

Summary: This study focuses on the phase space singularities of interactive quintessence model in the presence of matter fluid. The presence of matter fluid affects the dynamical system, making the singularities depend on initial conditions rather than occurring for general initial conditions.

Bounce Universe with Finite-Time Singularity

Sergei D. Odintsov, Tanmoy Paul

Summary: This work explores the influence of a Type-IV singularity on the dynamics of a bouncing universe in the context of a ghost-free Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravity. It is found that when the singularity has a global effect on spacetime, the scalar power spectrum becomes red-tilted and the tensor-to-scalar ratio is incompatible with observational data. However, if the singularity only locally affects spacetime around the time of occurrence, the observable quantities are compatible with Planck data.

Chandrasekhar Mass Limit of White Dwarfs in Modified Gravity

Artyom V. Astashenok, Sergey D. Odintsov, Vasilis K. Oikonomou

Summary: This study investigates the Chandrasekhar mass limit of white dwarfs in various models of f (R) gravity. Two equations of state for stellar matter are used: the simple relativistic polytropic equation and the realistic Chandrasekhar equation of state. The solution for any model of f (R) = R + beta R-m gravity shows that the stellar mass decreases compared to standard General Relativity. For realistic equations of state, there is a value of the central density for which the mass of a white dwarf peaks. This implies that in modified gravity, there exists a minimum radius for stable white dwarfs, which is greater than in General Relativity. The behavior of the Chandrasekhar mass limit in f (R) gravity is also investigated.

Rescaled Einstein-Hilbert gravity from f (R) gravity: Inflation, dark energy, and the swampland criteria

V. K. Oikonomou

Summary: In this study, we analyze the scenario where the effective gravitational Lagrangian of a minimally coupled scalar field becomes a rescaled Einstein-Hilbert gravity at large curvatures, leading to changes in the inflationary phenomenology and satisfaction of swampland criteria. Two inflation models, fiber inflation and supergravity alpha-attractor models, are discussed to show their viability and satisfaction of swampland criteria. The late-time phenomenology of the fiber inflation potential in the presence of full f(R) gravity is examined, showing the production of a viable dark energy era similar to the Lambda-cold-dark-matter model. The modified gravity model presents a universe described by a rescaled Einstein-Hilbert gravity at early times, with the scalar field mainly controlling dynamics synergistically with f(R) gravity at late times.

Late-time cosmology of scalar-coupled f(R, G) gravity

S. D. Odintsov, V. K. Oikonomou, F. P. Fronimos

Summary: This paper investigates the late-time dynamics of scalar coupled f(R, G) gravity through numerical analysis, exploring various models in modified gravity theories. It is found that the contribution of Gauss-Bonnet related terms is minor when f(R) gravity terms are present, with the f(R) sector dominating at late times. The Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet models considered produce a dark energy era free from oscillations, with constraints on scalar coupling functions for compatibility with observational data.

Unifying inflation with early and late dark energy epochs in axion F(R) gravity

V. K. Oikonomou

Summary: This article introduces a theoretical model of F(R) gravity that can describe inflation, early and late dark energy eras in the presence of a light axion particle as the dark matter component of the Universe. The model exhibits early and late-time dark energy eras, with an early dark energy era followed by a deceleration era and then a late-time dark energy era. A notable feature is the absence of dark energy oscillations in the dark energy era within the redshift interval z = [0, 10]. The model also shows a sudden jump in the value of the Hubble rate within the redshift interval z ≈ [2, 2.6], increasing and then decreasing until z ≈ 0.

Dark energy and cosmological horizon thermal effects

Artyom Astashenok, Sergei D. Odintsov, V. K. Oikonomou

Summary: By considering the thermal effects induced from Hawking radiation on the apparent horizon of the Universe, various dark energy models were investigated. The study explored the evolution of dark energy density as the Universe expands, leading to different types of singularities, such as sudden future singularities and big rip singularities. The research also looked into the transition between deceleration and acceleration in quintessence dark energy, as well as the potential remedies for crushing-type singularities.

Inhomogeneity of a rotating quark-gluon plasma from holography

Nelson R. F. Braga, Octavio C. Junqueira

Summary: This study investigates the influence of rotation on the transition temperature of strongly interacting matter produced in non-central heavy ion collisions. By using a holographic description of an AdS black hole, the authors extend the analysis to the more realistic case where the matter spreads over a region around the rotational axis. The results show the coexistence of confined and deconfined phases and are consistent with the concept of local temperature in rotating frames developed by Tolman and Ehrenfest.

Constrain the time variation of the gravitational constant via the propagation of gravitational waves

Bing Sun, Jiachen An, Zhoujian Cao

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of gravitational constant variation on the propagation of gravitational waves. By employing two analytical methods, the study finds that variations in the gravitational constant result in amplitude and phase corrections for gravitational waves, and the time variation of the gravitational constant can be constrained through the propagation of gravitational waves.

Quantum tunneling from Schwarzschild black hole in non-commutative gauge theory of gravity

Abdellah Touati, Zaim Slimane

Summary: This letter presents the first study of Hawking radiation as a tunneling process within the framework of non-commutative gauge theory of gravity. The non-commutative Schwarzschild black hole is reconstructed using the Seiberg-Witten map and the star product. The emission spectrum of outgoing massless particles is computed using the quantum tunneling mechanism. The results reveal pure thermal radiation in the low-frequency scenario, but a deviation from pure thermal radiation in the high-frequency scenario due to energy conservation. It is also found that noncommutativity enhances the correlations between successively emitted particles.

Compact stars: To cross or go around? That is the question

Shahar Hod

Summary: The travel times of light signals between two antipodal points on a compact star's surface are calculated for two different trajectories. It is shown that, for highly dense stars, the longer trajectory along the surface may have a shorter travel time as measured by asymptotic observers. A critical value of the dimensionless density-area parameter is determined for constant density stars to distinguish cases where crossing through the star's center or following a semi-circular trajectory on the surface has a shorter travel time as measured by asymptotic observers.
