Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Theoretical physics and cosmology are dynamic fields seeking to understand the universe's fundamental laws. To commemorate Professor Emilio Elizalde's 75th birthday and his remarkable achievements in the fields, we are pleased to present this Special Issue.
This Special Issue aims at exploring advanced cosmological models, particularly focusing on gravitational waves, viscous cosmology, dark energy and modified gravity theories. Common themes include the investigation of quantum effects, brane cosmologies, and the implications of various gravitational frameworks on the universe's evolution. Methodologies often involve mathematical modeling and analysis of the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker equations, as well as the study of singularities and asymptotic behaviors in cosmological scenarios. The overarching goal is to deepen the understanding of cosmic acceleration, the nature of dark energy, and the potential future states of the universe, contributing to the broader field of theoretical physics and cosmology.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
