Instability of agegraphic dark energy models

We investigate the agegraphic dark energy models which were recently proposed to explain the dark energy-dominated universe. For this purpose, we calculate their equation of states and squared speeds of sound. We find that the squared speed for agegraphic dark energy is always negative. This means that the perfect fluid for agegraphic dark energy is classically unstable. Furthermore, it is shown that the new agegraphic dark energy model could describe the matter (radiation)-dominated universe in the far past only when the parameter $n$ is chosen to be $n>n_c$, where the critical values are determined to be $n_c=2.6878(2.5137752)$ numerically. It seems that the new agegraphic dark energy model is no better than the holographic dark energy model for the description of the dark energy-dominated universe, even though it resolves the causality problem.

Holographic interacting dark energy in the braneworld cosmology

We investigate a model of brane cosmology to find a unified description of the radiation-matter-dark energy universe. It is of the interacting holographic dark energy with a bulk-holographic matter $χ$. This is a five-dimensional cold dark matter, which plays a role of radiation on the brane. Using the effective equations of state $ω^{\rm eff}_{\rm Λ}$ instead of the native equations of state $ω_{\rm Λ}$, we show that this model cannot accommodate any transition from the dark energy with $ω^{\rm eff}_{\rm Λ}\ge-1$ to the phantom regime $ω^{\rm eff}_{\rm Λ}<-1$. Furthermore, the case of interaction between cold dark matter and five dimensional cold dark matter is considered for completeness. Here we find that the redshift of matter-radiation equality $z_{\rm eq}$ is the same order as $z^{\rm ob}_{\rm eq}=2.4\times10^{4} Ω_{\rm m}h^2$. Finally, we obtain a general decay rate $Γ$ which is suitable for describing all interactions including the interaction between holographic dark energy and cold dark matter.

Non-flat universe and interacting dark energy model

For non-flat universe of $k\not=0$, we investigate a model of the interacting holographic dark energy with cold dark matter (CDM). There exists a mixture of two components arisen from decaying of the holographic dark energy into CDM. In this case we use the effective equations of state ($ω^{\rm eff}_{\rm Λ}, ω^{\rm eff}_{\rm m}$) instead of the native equations of state ($ω_{\rm Λ},ω_{\rm m})$. Consequently, we show that interacting holographic energy models in non-flat universe cannot accommodate a transition from the dark energy to the phantom regime.

Equation of state for an interacting holographic dark energy model

We investigate a model of the interacting holographic dark energy with cold dark matter (CDM). If the holographic energy density decays into CDM, we find two types of the effective equation of state. In this case we have to use the effective equations of state ($ω^{\rm eff}_{\rm Λ}$) instead of the equation of state ($ω_{\rm Λ})$. For a fixed ratio of two energy densities, their effective equations of state are given by the same negative constant. Actually, the cosmic anti-friction arisen from the vacuum decay process may induce the acceleration with $ω^{\rm eff}_{\rm Λ}<-1/3$. For a variable ratio, their effective equations of state are slightly different, but they approach the same negative constant in the far future. Consequently, we show that such an interacting holographic energy model cannot accommodate a transition from the dark energy with $ω^{\rm eff}_{\rm Λ}\ge-1$ to the phantom regime with $ω^{\rm eff}_{\rm Λ}<-1$.

Inflation parameters from Gauss-Bonnet braneworld

We calculate the spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio for patch inflation arisen from the Gauss-Bonnet braneworld scenario. The patch cosmological models consist of Gauss-Bonnet (GB), Randall-Sundrum (RS), and 4D general relativistic (GR) cases. In order to compare with the observation data, we perform leading-order calculations for all patch models by choosing large-field, small-field, and hybrid potentials. We show that the large-field potentials are sensitive to a given patch model, while the small-field and hybrid potentials are insensitive to a given patch model. It is easier to discriminates between quadratic potential and quartic potential in the GB model rather than RS and GR models. Irrespective of patch models, it turns out that the small-field potentials are the promising models in view of the observation.

Second-order corrections to noncommutative spacetime inflation

We investigate how the uncertainty of noncommutative spacetime affects on inflation. For this purpose, the noncommutative parameter $μ_0$ is taken to be a zeroth order slow-roll parameter. We calculate the noncommutative power spectrum up to second order using the slow-roll expansion. We find corrections arisen from a change of the pivot scale and the presence of a variable noncommutative parameter, when comparing with the commutative power spectrum. The power-law inflation is chosen to obtain explicit forms for the power spectrum, spectral index, and running spectral index. In cases of the power spectrum and spectral index, the noncommutative effect of higher-order corrections compensates for a loss of higher-order corrections in the commutative case. However, for the running spectral index, all higher-order corrections to the commutative case always provide negative spectral indexes, which could explain the recent WMAP data.

Second-order corrections to slow-roll inflation in the brane cosmology

We calculate the power spectrum, spectral index, and running spectral index for the RS-II brane inflation in the high-energy regime using the slow-roll expansion. There exist several modifications. As an example, we take the power-law inflation by choosing an inverse power-law potential. When comparing these with those arisen in the standard inflation, we find that the power spectrum is enhanced and the spectral index is suppressed, while the running spectral index becomes zero as in the standard inflation. However, since second-order corrections are rather small, these could not play a role of distinguishing between standard and brane inflations.
