As no prior work exists about a potential spacetime thermal expansion coefficient [Formula: see text], we explore the analogy of general relativity with the theory of elasticity by considering the cosmological constant [Formula: see text] as an additional space curvature of the structure of space due to a thermal gradient coming from the cosmic web and the cold vacuum and we propose [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] being the curvature radius of the space fabric. It follows from this analogy and from the supposed space model consisting of thin sheets of Planck thickness [Formula: see text] curved by this thermal gradient [Formula: see text]T a possible thermal expansion coefficient of the equivalent elastic medium modeling the space [Formula: see text] of the order of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]K[Formula: see text]. As spacetime and not only space must be considered in general relativity, this paper also proposes an innovative approach which consists in introducing into the interval ds 2 of special relativity a temperature effect [Formula: see text] (entropy variations correlated with time laps, based on temperature variations affecting always physically the clocks) based on different thermal expansion coefficients for space and time with for the flow of time [Formula: see text]. With [Formula: see text] 10 6 [Formula: see text]K, [Formula: see text], the associate time interval is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]s and [Formula: see text]. The consequence of this hypothesis is that dark energy potentially becomes a thermal spacetime curvature [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] equal to [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] depending of the temperature, the thermal entropy variation of the universe, the Planck thickness and time, that increases since the Big bang, depending on thermal expansion coefficients for spacetime [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as a function, respectively, of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], in opposition to spacetime curvature gravity due to mass/energy density as described in general relativity.","PeriodicalId":50307,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Physics D","volume":" 86","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135191122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is done by first constraining the background cosmological parameters of different Chaplygin gas models with SNeIa and [Formula: see text] data for detailed statistical analysis of the CG models. Based on the statistical criteria we followed, none of the models has substantial observational support, but we show that the so-called “original” and “extended/generalised” Chaplygin gas models have some observational support and less observational support, respectively, whereas the “modified” and “modified generalised” Chaplygin gas models miss out on the category less observational support, but cannot be ruled out. The so-called “generalised” cosmic Chaplygin gas model, on the other hand, falls under the no observational support category of the statistical criterion and can be ruled out. The models which are statistically accepted are considered for perturbation level in both theoretical and observational aspects. We also apply the [Formula: see text] covariant formalism of perturbation theory and derive the evolution equations of the fluctuations in the matter density contrast of the matter–Chaplygin gas system for the models with some or less statistical support. The solutions to these coupled systems of equations are then computed in both short-wavelength and long-wavelength modes. Then we feed these observationally restricted parameters into the analysis of cosmological perturbations to address the growth of density contrast through redshift. Using the most recent linear growth of the data [Formula: see text], CG models are considered to study the linear growth of the structure.","PeriodicalId":50307,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Physics D","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135432005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is replaced by a region of high curvature and potentially large quantum fluctuations. It was recently pointed out that the effective semiclassical metric implies the existence of a shell of effective matter which violates energy conditions in regions where the curvature is largest. Here we propose an alternative way of treating the problem that is free from the shells. The ambiguity in the treatment is related with the existence of new observables in the quantum theory that characterize the area excitations, and how the counterpart of diffeomorphisms in the discrete quantum theory is mapped to the continuum semi-classical picture. The resulting space-time in the high curvature region inside the horizon is approximated by a metric of the type of the Simpson--Visser wormhole and it connects the black hole interior to a white hole in a smooth manner.","PeriodicalId":50307,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Physics D","volume":"85 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135868807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The outcomes reveal that the energy density exhibits negative value, thus implying that any utilization of such fluids necessitates extremely demanding circumstances where quantum effects would be significantly influential. Furthermore, it has been determined that these fluid distributions cannot take the vicinity surrounding their central point of symmetry and leave behind an empty vacuum cavity in its place.
