We discuss the physical features of two recent classes of analytical solutions of the Einstein equations sourced by an exotic perfect fluid with equation of state $ P=-ρ/5$. These geometries depend on up to four parameters and are static and spherically symmetric. They describe compact spaces with naked central singularities.
Wyman's less known static and spherically symmetric solution of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations and its recent generalization for positive cosmological constant are discussed, showing that they contain central naked singularities. By mapping back to the Jordan frame, we obtain the conformal cousins of these geometries that solve the vacuum Brans-Dicke field equations and are time-dependent and spherical. Their physical nature is discussed and the geometry is shown to be also a solution of purely quadratic gravity.
We perform a full investigation on dynamics of a new dark energy model in which the four-derivative of a non-canonical scalar field (tachyon) is non-minimally coupled to the vector torsion. Our analysis is done in the framework of teleparallel equivalent of general relativity which is based on torsion instead of curvature. We show that in our model there exists a late-time scaling attractor (point $P_{4}$), corresponding to an accelerating universe with the property that dark energy and dark matter densities are of the same order. Such a point can help to alleviate the cosmological coincidence problem. Existence of this point is the most significant difference between our model and another model in which a canonical scalar field (quintessence) is used instead of tachyon field.
We study dynamics of generalized tachyon scalar field in the framework of teleparallel gravity. This model is an extension of tachyonic teleparallel dark energy model which has been proposed in [26]. In contrast with tachyonic teleparallel dark energy model that has no scaling attractors, here we find some scaling attractors which means that the cosmological coincidence problem can be alleviated. Scaling attractors present for both interacting and non-interacting dark energy, dark matter cases.
