1 Introduction
Many researchers and Scientists are putting huge effort to explain the dynamics of the universe and to understand the future evolution of the universe from the ancient times. However, till today we are not in a state to provide an exactly clear statement about the origin and evolution of our universe. From different literatures and philosophical point of views we found that different mines provide different opinions about our universe. The universe is full of mysterious elements and numerous effects of interactions which cannot be detected and difficult to explain even with advanced technology. Due to these reasons the most challenging problems in Astrophysics and modem cosmology is to understand the late time acceleration of the universe. In recent years, most of researchers have drawn considerable attention in the context of dark energy and modified theories of gravity to study the various aspects of the universe. On the other, hand many prominent results of the cosmological observations like Type SNeIa supernovae [1-3], CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) anisotropies [4-5], the large scale galaxies structures of universe [6], Baryon Acoustic Oscillations [7], WMAP (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe) [8] Sachs-Wolfe effects [9] and SDSS [10] are noticed to us for the cosmic acceleration with direct and indirect evidence. Not only the above mentioned observations and surveys, but also some other new cosmological results and data sets like Planck [11], Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) [12], South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel’dovice (SPT-SZ) survey [13] have measured the temperature and polarization of CMB to exquisite precision, are also supporting this fact. These results are more acceptable to the community and beneficial to the researchers to understand about the universe in this modern era.
From the recent literatures and findings, we know that dark energy dominates the universe with positive energy density and negative pressure, responsible to produce sufficient acceleration in late time evolution of the Universe. Some of the important claimants of dark energy are tachyons [14], chaplygin gas [15], phantom [16], k-essence and quintessence [17] along with other four elements, i.e. dark matter, baryons, radiation and neutrinos. But so far there is no direct detection of such exotic fluids. Although the literature is now flooded with hundreds of model for dark energy what we lack is precise cosmological data coming from variety of observations involving both background and inhomogeneous universe that can discriminate among these models. In this connection if we accept that Einstein was correct with his general relativity theory to explain accelerated expansion of the universe could also be explained by negative pressure working against gravity. The belief of Einstein to the static universe made him to think about negative pressure which will stop the attraction of the gravity. However, we know that we have non static universe, moreover we know that we have accelerated expansion. According to the above observational data analysis, it can be estimated the amount of the negative pressure in our universe, which we call it as dark energy. The simple question about the nature of the dark energy is still one of the intriguing questions and left free space for new speculations.
After Einstein many Physicists have been investigating about gravitation in different contexts. Weyl [18] attempted to generalize the idea of geometrizing the gravitation and electromagnetism by applying different techniques and methods. He described both gravitation and electromagnetism geometrically by formulating a new kind of gauge theory involving metric tensor with an intrinsic geometrical significance. With the concept of Einstein’s general theory of relativity, Lyra [19] suggested a modification by introducing a gauge function into the structure less manifold which removes the non-integrability condition of the length of a vector under parallel transport. Such theories are commonly known as the modified theories of the gravitation or alternate theory of gravitation. Some important modified theories of gravitation are Brans-Dicke theory [20], Scalar-tensor theories[21], Vector-tensor theory[22], Weyl’s theory [23], F(R) Gravity[24], Mimetic Gravity [25], Mimetic F(R)gravity [26], Lyra geometry [27] and many more. We can explain about the accelerating expansion of the universe in the context of these modified theories of gravitation. Out of these modified theories of gravitation, here we will discuss about the Lyra geometry.
As we know that Lyra geometry is a modification of Riemanian geometry by introducing a gauge function into the structure less manifold which removes the non-integrability condition of the length of a vector under parallel transport. Lyra geometry along with constant gauge vector will either play the role of cosmological constant or creation field ( equal to Hoyle’s creation field [28-30]) which is discussed by Soleng [31]. Many researchers proposed different cosmological models in different context of Lyra geometry. Sen [32] formulated a new scalar-tensor theory of gravitation based on Lyra geometry in which he found that static model with finite density in Lyra geometry is similar to the Einstein’s static model, but it exhibited red shift which is a significant difference of the model. Later, Sen and Dunn [33], Rosen [34], suggested that this theory was based on non-integrability of length transfer so that it had some unsatisfactory features and hence this theory did not gain general acceptance. Halford [35, 36] pointed out that in the normal general relativistic treatment the constant displacement vector field in Lyra’s geometry plays the role of cosmological constant. Also, as in the Einstein’s theory of relativity, the scalar-tensor treatment based on Lyra’s geometry predicts the same effect, within observational limits, as far as the classical solar system test are concerned. any authors (Rahaman et al. [37, 38], Casana et al. [39, 40] , Mohanty et al. [41, 42] , Mahanta et al. [43], Asgar et al. [44], Mollah et al.[45], Mollah and Priyokumar [46]) attempted to solve Einstein’s field equations in the framework of Lyra’s geometry and successfully find their solutions under different circumstances.
From the critical study, we know that space-time symmetry plays a vital role in the features of space-time that can be described as exhibiting some form of symmetry. The importance of symmetries in relativity and cosmology is to simplify Einstein’s field equations and to provide a classification of the space time according to the structure of the corresponding Lie algebra. Some authors (Henriksen et al. [47] , Mohanty et al. [48] , Rao et al. [49] , Cahill et al. [50]) solved Einstein’s field equations for an axially symmetric space-time by imposing certain conditions upon the scale factor of the space time together with some conditions on matter which represents such space-time and some restrictions on its physical properties. To explain the accelerated expansion of the universe many prominent researchers such as Shchigolev et al. [51] , Hova [52] , Ali et al. [53] , Megied et al. [54], Khurshudyan et al. [55, 56], Saadat [57] , Darabi et al. [58] , Ziaie et al. [59] , Pucheu et al. [60] have investigated and proposed different cosmological models and ideas of the universe within the framework of Lyra’s geometry and other theories of relativity in different context.
It seems that, majority of researchers in the field of Astrophysics, Cosmology and Particle Physics were doing their research in this area by considering only 4-dimensional case. But in this modern era, peoples are more interested to study higher dimensional case, since the solutions of Einstein field equations in higher dimensional space times are believed to have physical relevance possibly at extremely early times before the universe underwent the compactification transitions. We also found that by using a suitable scalar field we can show that the phase transitions on the early universe can give rise to such objects which are nothing but the topological knots in the vacuum expectation value of the scalar field and most of their energy is concentrated in a small region. So it is necessary for us to study the cosmological problems by considering higher-dimensional space-time to unify gravity with other interactions. In cosmology, particularly for study of the early stage of universe the present four dimensional stage of the universe might have been preceded by a multi-dimensional stage. Recently, Priyokumar and Mollah [61] studied about higher dimensional LRS Bianchi type-I cosmological model universe interacting with perfect fluid in Lyra geometry with different cases. Many authors [62-70] have studied Bianchi type models in order to examine the role of certain anisotropic sources during the formation of the large-scale structures that we see in the present universe and for better understanding the small amount of observed anisotropy in the universe. Banerjee et al.,[71] have investigated Bianchi type-I cosmological models with viscous fluid in higher dimensional space time. Also Krori et al.[72] studied Bianchi type-I string cosmological model in higher dimensions.
Motivated from the above, in this paper we discussed about five-dimensional spatially homogeneous and anisotropic locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type-I universe with time dependent deceleration parameters in Lyra manifold considering different cases and find out the realistic solutions which are supporting to the present observational facts. We also found that the geometry itself of Lyra manifold behaves as a new source of dark energy which will be beneficial for further research work.
This paper is organized as follows. In Sec. 2, we are presenting the formulation of the problem and the physical properties for the model are defined. In Sec. 3, considering deceleration parameter in four different forms, we have obtained six different cosmological models (in four cases together with three subcases of case-II) by solving the field equations obtained in the previous section. Some important physical parameters representing the models are also obtained in this section. In Sec. 4, Physical interpretations of all the model universes are discussed. In Sec. 5, conclusion and summary of our work is presented.
2 Formulation of problem
The Einstein’s field equations based on Lyra geometry is proposed by Sen [32] and Sen and Dunn [33] in normal gauge may be written as
[TABLE]
where is the displacement vector and other symbols have their usual meanings as in the Riemannian geometry. The displacement vector is taken in the form
[TABLE]
In this Paper we consider the five dimensional LRS Bianchi type-I axially symmetric space time in the form
[TABLE]
where A and B are functions of cosmic time only, where the fifth coordinate is taken to be space-like. Here the spatial curvature has been taken as zero (see [73]).
The energy momentum tensor for the perfect fluid is given by
[TABLE]
where, is the energy density , is the fluid pressure and is the five velocity vector given by satisfying
[TABLE]
The physical quantities like Spatial Volume , Hubble’s Parameter , Expansion scalar , Shear scalar , mean anisotropy parameter play a vital role for a cosmological model. These parameters for the axially symmetric LRS Bianchi type-I metric (3) are defined as
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where ; represent the directional Hubble’s parameters in directions respectively and corresponds to isotropic expansion.
Using the comoving coordinate system, the field equations (1) for the metric (3) with the help of equation (4) yield
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where the overhead dots denote the derivatives with respect to time .
Again the energy conservation equation gives us
[TABLE]
The field equations (11)-(13) are a system of three highly nonlinear differential equations with five unknown parameters , , , and . Therefore in order to obtain deterministic solution of the above system of equations, it is required to assume two more additional physical conditions/mathematical relations involving these unknowns. Hence we assume
(a) The expansion scalar is proportional to the shear scalar (see [74]) which leads to
[TABLE]
where is a constant and
(b) Another additional condition is taken as the any one of the following time dependent deceleration parameter
(i) Average scale factor as an integrating function of time (see [75]) as
[TABLE]
where and are positive constants in which scale factor has two factors: one factor behaving like exponential expansion and the other factor behaving like power law expansion. While the power law behaviour dominate the cosmic dynamics in early phase of cosmic evolution, the exponential factor dominates at late phase. When , the exponential law is recovered and for , the scale factor reduces to the power law as suggested by Mishra [76] and Akarsu et al. [77]. Here we are very much interested in a transient universe with early deceleration and late acceleration so that at early time can be positive whereas at late time assumes a negative value in conformity with the recent observational data.
Therefore, the value of deceleration parameter (DP) becomes a function of time as follows
[TABLE]
(ii) Variable deceleration parameter
[TABLE]
where is the average scale factor and is a variable.
(iii) Linearly varying deceleration parameter
[TABLE]
where is the average scale factor, are constants.
(iv) Special form of deceleration parameter
[TABLE]
where is the average scale factor and is a constant.
The above four conditions will respectively give us the four different model universes as follows-
3 Solution of field equations in four different cases (of Deceleration Parameter)
**Case - I : Models with Time Dependent Deceleration Parameter
**In this case we consider the average scale factor as an integrating function of time as given in Eq. (16) as
[TABLE]
where and are positive constants.
From the above value of the average scale factor , the value of deceleration parameter can be obtained as
[TABLE]
This law (17) gives us a time-dependent deceleration parameter which describes that initially our universe was decelerating but as the the time progresses our universe becomes an accelerating. That is, our universe is in transition from early decelerating phase to the present accelerating phase.
From Eq. (6) we have
[TABLE]
The metric (1) can be determined completely by this average scale factor given by Eq. (18).
From Eqs. (15), (16) and (18) we have
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
By using Eqs. (19) and (20) the metric (3) can be written as

**Some Physical Properties of the Model (21) with Time Dependent Deceleration Parameter

Equation (32) can be written as
[TABLE]
In order to solve equation (33), we may consider . Now since R is a function of time, so we can assume and it is possible only when there is one to one correspondence between and . Again since both and are increasing function so this is possible only we can avoid singularity like big bang or big rip.
Therefore if we assume then the general solution of equation (33) is obtained as
[TABLE]
where is an integrating constant. Without loss of generality, we may choose
When then in order to solve (34), we have to choose in such a way that (34) becomes integrable. Hence we consider
[TABLE]
where is a function of only and it does not affect the nature of generality of solution.
From Eqs. (34) and (35) we have
[TABLE]
Since the choice of function in equation (36) is quite arbitrary and we are interested in obtaining the models of the universe which are not only physically viable but also consistent with observations, so we have chosen the function in three different ways

For , the Eq. (52) reduces to

We are not interested in these two solutions but we are interested only on the first solution, which is new. For convenience, in the following we consider the solution for and and omit the integrating constant by setting in (84). By doing this, we also set the initial time of the universe to . The reason for considering the solution only for and is not only for simplicity but also for compatibility with the observed universe. means we are dealing with increasing acceleration .

4 Physical Interpretations of the solutions
**Case - I : Models with Time Dependent Deceleration Parameter
**(i) Equation (23) gives the displacement vector as , which is a decreasing function of cosmic time and finally it becomes zero when .
(ii) From Eqs. (24) and (25) we have seen that the energy density and pressure diverge at but when then the energy density becomes zero whereas the pressure takes the finite value .
(iii) Again from Eq. (26) it is clear that initially when the spatial volume gradually increases with the passage of time and it becomes infinite when .
Also from Eqs. (27) and (28) we have seen that both Hubble’s parameter and expansion scalar are infinite at and expands with the increase of cosmic time. Thus our model universe is evolves at time and is expanding that explains the Big-Bang scenario of our model universe.
(iv) The average scale factor given by Eq. (16) is zero at initial epoch of time (t=0), so our model has a point type singularity.
(v) Also from Eqs. (17) and (27) we observed that at the deceleration parameter and . Thus for the Hubble’s parameter is maximum and the model will be increasing at fastest rate for .
(vi) Equations (30) and(31) give us that the mean anisotropy parameter and are non zero constants for all values of time whenever , so from the mathematical point of view our model will be an anisotropic one. From this result, we seem that during the process of evolution of our model universe there may have some possibilities to have an anisotropic universe for some duration. But it does not contradict to the present observational fact that our present universe is an isotropic one, because the initial anisotropy of the Bianchi Type-I universe quickly dies away and eventually it evolves into a FRW universe as suggested by [81]. Also, a Bianchi Type-I universe has a different scale factor for each of the three spatial directions, and so anisotropy is introduced to the system automatically representing an anisotropic universe. Departures from isotropy that preserve homogeneity are described by Bianchi model with the overall geometry of space. One may show [82] that only certain Bianchi types specially type I, V, IX etc. allow for isotropic limit. But by conducting general test of isotropy using CMB temperature and polarization data from Plank, Saadeeh et al.[83] strongly disfavoured the anisotropic expansion of the universe with odds of 121000:1 against . But still some share of anisotropic is there, so we required for further investigation in this area mathematically as well as observationally.
But interestingly when our model universe approach to an isotropic one which is a good indication favouring the recent observational findings.
(vii) Again from Eq. (17) we found that as the value of the deceleration parameter becomes . Also when we plot the deceleration parameter versus time as shown in Fig. 1, it seems that our model universe is decelerating at the initial phase and changing from decelerating to accelerating as time progresses. It means that our model universe might have undergone a transition from early deceleration to late time acceleration at certain point of time supporting the recent observational findings. Such type of situation can be stimulated due to the time varying deceleration parameter which may be positive at the early stage and evolves negative values at the late time. Here, in our problem the deceleration parameter is generated from the scale factor which have a hybrid form containing the factors of exponential behavior and power law behavior which are widely used in the very common literatures for the investigation of background cosmology. Since the power law factor of this scale factor dominates the early part of cosmic dynamics and the exponential factor part dominates at late time providing a realistic model universe.
(viii) From Fig. 2 of Eq. (26) we have seen that the that the volume is an increasing function of time and it becomes infinite as . Initially, the volume increases very rapidly but as the time progresses the rate of increase becomes slow.
(ix) The Fig. 3 explains that the energy density of our model universe has a finite value at initial epoch of time (t=0), that is at the beginning of evolution; and even when it has some finite value and there is no singularity; there by, there is possibility that our model is that of oscillating type.
**Case - II : Models with variable Deceleration Parameter
Sub Case-1 of Case-II :
**(i) From Eq. (38), it is clear that the average scale factor R(t) can never be negative if . From Fig. 4, we have seen that in the early stages of the universe, i.e. when then the scale factor of the universe is almost constant and increasing very slowly as the time progresses. But, after a certain period of time our universe exploded suddenly and starts expansion at large scale, which is consistent with Big Bang scenario.
(ii) Figure 5 explains that initially the volume of the universe is constant and it increases with the passage of time and finally the volume becomes infinite as .
(iii) From Eq. (48) and its graph i.e. Fig. 6, it has been observed that is always positive and is a decreasing function of time. In our model, displacement vector plays the role of cosmological constant and preserves the same character as -term in the Einstein’s theory of relativity, in fact with respect to the recent observations.
(iv) In the early stage, i.e. When then for very small values of , we have seen from Eqs. (49) and (50) and their graphs, i.e. Figs. 7 and 8, that the energy density is a decreasing function of time and tends to a small positive quantity whereas the pressure is an increasing function of time and tends to a small negative quantity.
(v) Again, the Eq. (51) gives us q = -1, so that our cosmological model represents an accelerating universe.
**Sub Case-2 of Case-II :
**(i) Equations (53) and (57) show that both scale factor R(t) and volume V are positive for if , and are positive constants. Also Figs. 9 and 10 explain that both scale factor R(t) and volume are increasing functions of time, implying that our universe is expanding.
(ii) From Fig. 11 and Eq. (63), it has been observed that is positive and is a decreasing function of time and it tends to zero in infinite time. Characteristically is similar to that of term in Einstein’s theory of gravity. In this model, also plays the same role as cosmological constant and preserves the same character as term in Einstein’s theory.
(iii) Again, from Eqs. (64) and (65), we have seen that both energy density and pressure are negative, but whenever both of them converges to zero.
(iv) From Eqs. (61) and (62), it is observed that both mean anisotropic parameter and are constant and non zero for all values of time whenever and , so our model remains anisotropic throughout the evolution of the universe. But whenever then both and become zero for all values of time so our model universe will be an isotropic universe for this particular case.
**Sub Case-3 of Case-II :
**(i) From Eqs. (72) and (74), it is clear that initially when the spatial volume and gradually increases with the passage of time and it becomes infinite when whereas the expansion scalar is infinite at .
Again at , Eqs. (73) and (81) give us and deceleration parameter , so the Hubble’s parameter is maximum. Thus at our model is expanding at fastest rate. Hence our model universe is evolves at time and is expanding, which explains the Big-Bang scenario of our model universe.
(ii) Equation (78) shows that the displacement vector is a decreasing function of cosmic time and finally it becomes zero when .
(iii) From Eqs. (79) and (80) we have seen that the energy density and pressure diverge at and tend to zero at .
(iv) The average scale factor given by Eq. (68) and the spatial scale factors given by Eqs. (69) and (70) are all zero at initial epoch of time , so our model has a point type singularity.
(v) Equations (76) and (77) give us that the mean anisotropy parameter and are non zero constants for all values of time whenever , so our model remains anisotropic throughout the evolution of the universe and our model universe does not approach to isotropy.
(vi) Again from Eq. (81) and from the graph of deceleration parameter vs. time given by Fig. 12, it is clear that the deceleration parameter in this case also changes sign from positive to negative, so we can conclude that initially our model universe is decelerating at initial phase and then changes from decelerating to accelerating.
(vii) Also from Fig. 14 of equation (79), it is seen that initially our model universe has infinite density and as the time progresses it becomes negative and finally energy density tend to a negative finite value. Thus this model universe approaches to a steady state.
**Case - III : Models with Linearly Varying Deceleration Parameter
**(i) From Eqs. (91) and (33), it is clear that initially when the spatial volume has a constant value and gradually increases with the passage of time and it becomes infinite when whereas the expansion scalar is a decreasing function of time which is infinite at and finally it becomes zero when .
Equations (92)-(94) imply that the Hubble’s parameter , expansion scalar and shear scalar diverge for .
(ii) The model (90) does not have any singularity, because the spatial scale factors and given by Eqs. (88) and (89), respectively, are non zero for all values of .
(iii) From Eq. (82), it is seen that initially when then so that the model universe is decelerating for and accelerating for . But for , , the model universe starts accelerating expansion and whenever , implying that the universe experiences super exponential expansion and ends with at .
(iv) From Eqs. (95) and (96) we have the mean anisotropy parameter and so the model is anisotropic throughout the evolution of the universe except at , hence the model does not approach to isotropy.
(v) From Eq. (97) we have also got that the displacement vector is a decreasing function of time and it has a finite value at the initial epoch of time i.e. at .
(vi) Equations (98) and (99) give that both the energy density and pressure for and they will take finite value as .
(vii) Again from Eq. (82) and Fig. 15, it is clear that the deceleration parameter changes sign from positive to negative, so we can conclude that initially our model universe is decelerating (at initial phase) and then changes from decelerating to accelerating.
Hence this model universe is also consistent with the result of recent cosmological observations.
**Case - IV : Models with special form of Deceleration Parameter
**(i) From Eqs. (105) and (107), it is clear that initially when the spatial volume has a finite value and gradually increases with the passage of time and it becomes infinite when whereas the expansion scalar is a decreasing function of time which is finite at and finally it becomes zero when .
(ii) The model (101) does not have any singularity, because the spatial scale factors and given by Eqs. (102) and (103) respectively are non zero for all values of .
(iii) From Eqs. (109) and (110), we have the mean anisotropy parameter and so the model is anisotropic throughout the evolution of the universe except at , hence the model does not approach to isotropy.
(iv) From Eq. (111) we have got that the displacement vector is a finite quantity at and become zero as .
(v) Equations (112) and (113) give that both the energy density and pressure for and they will take finite values as .
(vi) Lastly in this case also from Eq (114) and the graph shown in Fig. 18 it is clear that our model universe is an accelerating one.
From all the above different cases we find that the energy density and gauge function are positive and decreasing function of time. We also observed the value of deceleration parameter obtained from all the cases of our model universe are in fair agreement with the result of cosmological observations like Type SNeIa supernova, CMB anisotropies, the large scale galaxies structures of universe, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations, WMAP, and new data sets like Planck results, ACT and SPT which have measured the CMB temperature and polarisation anisotropies. From the values of pressure and critical density we found that our model universe behaves as the dark energy model universe which is accelerated at the late phase of the cosmic dynamics before it might be decelerating at the early phase.
5 Conclusion
It may be a good idea to try to search for the hidden source of the dark energy which dominates the universe with positive energy density and negative pressure, and responsible to produce sufficient acceleration in late time evolution of the Universe. So within the frame work of Lyra Geometry while investigating five dimensional LRS Bianchi type-I model universe with time dependent deceleration parameter interacting with vector field , interestingly we found the above model universes behaves as a dark energy model universes which are consistent with the observational findings. Here the displacement field, which is consider as a component of total energy, plays the role of dark energy. In all the cases which we consider here with are expanding and anisotropic through the evolution supporting the present day observational findings. Thus it is seen that our models behaves as a dark energy field universe. From our findings, we seem that Lyra manifold itself contribute to dark energy consistent with the recent cosmological observations. Further study of such type of universe will be helpful for explaining the present accelerated expansion behavior of the universe.
