Kantowski-Sachs Model with Modified Holographic Ricci Dark Energy in Self-Creation Theory of Gravitation

Abstract

In this paper, a Kantowski-Sachs cosmological model is investigated in the presence of an anisotropic modified Ricci dark energy within the framework of Barber's second self-creation theory of gravitation. Exact solutions of the field equations are obtained by applying a special law of variation of Hubble's parameter which yield a negative constant value of deceleration parameter. The physical and kinematical features of the universe are discussed near the initial time singularity and at late-time.
