Cosmological model with \({\Omega}_M\)-dependent cosmological constant (Q1398089)

In the cosmological scenario new observations suggest that the universe is flat and its expansion is accelerating rather than slowing down. A way to account for cosmic acceleration is the introduction of dark energy, the so-called quintessence, which is a dynamical, spatially inhomogeneous form of energy with negative pressure. An example is the energy of a slowly evolving scalar field with positive potential energy, similar to the inflaton field in the inflationary cosmology. The paper under review presents a variant of the quintessence cosmological scenario in which the content of black energy is given by the cosmological constant. In the phenomenological model under consideration, this constant arises from the scalar obtained by contraction of the stress-energy tensor. The article studies the evolution of the scale factor. It demonstrates that the cosmological parameters of the cosmological model are inagreement with the recent observational data of the flat and accelerating universe. In conclusion, the described universe is leight-weight, strictly flat, accelerating, and causally connected.
