| Title: Study of Anisotropic Cosmological Models in Modified Theories of Gravitation | |
| Abstract: Without knowing exactly the cause or causes, today we well know that our mysterious universe is expanding (Riess et al. 1998; Perlmutter et al. 1999; Spergel et al. 2003). This phenomenon can be explained by dark energy which constitutes about three-fourths of the whole matter budget of our universe according to the recent WMAP data (Bennett et al (2003)), in which the reason of this phenomenon is due to an exotic component with large negative pressure (Faraoni (2004)). Alternative to dark energy, modified theories of gravity is extremely attractive, such as a new modified gravity theory, namely the so-called theory, has been proposed recently to drive the current accelerated expansion without invoking dark energy (Bambha et al(2011)). It is a generalized version of the so-called teleparallel gravity originally proposed by Einstein (Wang (2011)). A Critical study of the anisotropic cosmological models in gravity is the basic theme of the talk. | |
