Transit cosmological models coupled with zero-mass scalar field with high redshift in higher derivative theory

Abstract

The present study deals with a flat FRW cosmological model filled with perfect fluid coupled with the zero-mass scalar field in the higher derivative theory of gravity. We have obtained two types of universe models, the first one is the accelerating universe (power-law cosmology), and the second one is the transit phase model (hyperbolic expansion-law). We have obtained various physical and kinematic parameters and discussed them with observationally constrained values of H0. The transit redshift value is obtained zt=0.414, where the transit model shows signature-flipping and is consistent with recent observations. In our models, the present values of EoS parameter ω0 crosses the cosmological constant value ω0=−1. Also, the present age of the universe is calculated.
