Finite-time cosmological singularities and the possible fate of the Universe

J de Haro, S Nojiri, SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou, S Pan - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
Singularities in any physical theory are either remarkable indicators of the unknown
underlying fundamental theory, or indicate a change in the description of the physical reality …

[HTML][HTML] Inflationary interpretation of the stochastic gravitational wave background signal detected by pulsar timing array experiments

S Vagnozzi - Journal of High Energy Astrophysics, 2023 - Elsevier
Various pulsar timing array (PTA) experiments (NANOGrav, EPTA, PPTA, CPTA, including
data from InPTA) very recently reported evidence for excess red common-spectrum signals …

Superradiant evolution of the shadow and photon ring of Sgr

Y Chen, R Roy, S Vagnozzi, L Visinelli - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Ultralight bosons can affect the dynamics of spinning black holes (BHs) via superradiant
instability, which can lead to a time evolution of the supermassive BH shadow. We study …

Unifying inflation with early and late dark energy epochs in axion gravity

VK Oikonomou - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We provide a theoretical model of F (R) gravity in which it is possible to describe in a unified
way inflation, an early and a late dark energy era, in the presence of a light axion particle …

Unifying holographic inflation with holographic dark energy: A covariant approach

[HTML][HTML] Analyzing the H0 tension in F (R) gravity models

SD Odintsov, DSC Gómez, GS Sharov - Nuclear Physics B, 2021 - Elsevier
The Hubble constant tension problem is analyzed in the framework of a class of modified
gravity, the so-called F (R) gravity. To do so, we explore two models: an exponential and a …
