The Coincidence Problem in Holographic f(R) Gravity

It is well-known that $f(R)$ gravity models formulated in Einstein conformal frame are equivalent to Einstein gravity together with a minimally coupled scalar field. In this case, the scalar field couples with the matter sector and the coupling term is given by the conformal factor. We apply the holographic principle to such interacting models. In a spatially flat universe, we show that the Einstein frame representation of $f(R)$ models leads to a constant ratio of energy densities of dark matter to dark energy.Comment: 10 pages, no figure

Reconstructing f(R) model from Holographic DE: Using the observational evidence

We investigate the corresponding relation between $f(R)$ gravity and an interacting holographic dark energy. By obtaining conditions needed for some observational evidence such as, positive acceleration expansion of universe, crossing the phantom divide line and validity of thermodynamics second law in an interacting HDE model and corresponding it with $f(R)$ mode of gravity we find a viable $f(R)$ model which can explain the present universe. We also obtain the explicit evolutionary forms of the corresponding scalar field, potential and scale factor of universe.Comment: 11page. phys. Scr (2012

Holographic Dark Energy Like in f(R)f(R) Gravity

We investigate the corresponding relation between $f(R)$ gravity and holographic dark energy. We introduce a kind of energy density from $f(R)$ which has role of the same as holographic dark energy. We obtain the differential equation that specify the evolution of the introduced energy density parameter based on varying gravitational constant. We find out a relation for the equation of state parameter to low redshifts which containing varying $G$ correction.Comment: 10 page

Modified gravity in a viscous and non-isotropic background

We study the dynamical evolution of an $f(R)$ model of gravity in a viscous and anisotropic background which is given by a Bianchi type-I model of the Universe. We find viable forms of $f(R)$ gravity in which one is exactly the Einsteinian model of gravity with a cosmological constant and other two are power law $f(R)$ models. We show that these two power law models are stable with a suitable choice of parameters. We also examine three potentials which exhibit the potential effect of $f(R)$ models in the context of scalar tensor theory. By solving different aspects of the model and finding the physical quantities in the Jordan frame, we show that the equation of state parameter satisfy the dominant energy condition. At last we show that the two power law $f(R)$ models behave like quintessence model at late times and also the shear coefficient viscosity tends to zero at late times.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure
