Non-local gravity produced by quantum effects [Deser and Woodard, Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 111301 (2007)] There was a proposal on the solution of the cosmological constant problem by non-local modification of gravity. [Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, Dvali and Gabadadze, arxiv:hep-th/0209227] Recently, an explicit mechanism to screen a cosmological constant in non-local gravity has been discussed. [Nojiri, Odintsov, Sasaki and Zhang, Phys. Lett. B 696, 278 (2011)] Recent related reference: [Zhang and Sasaki, arxiv:1108.2112 [gr-qc]] It is known that so-called matter instability occurs in F(R) gravity. [Dolgov and Kawasaki, Phys. Lett. B 573, 1 (2003)] This implies that the curvature inside matter sphere becomes very large and hence the curvature singularity could appear. It is important to examine whether there exists the curvature singularity, i.e., the finite-time future singularities in non-local gravity. No. 4

No. 5 We investigate de Sitter solutions in non-local gravity. We examine a condition to avoid a ghost and discuss a screening scenario for a cosmological constant in de Sitter solutions. We explicitly demonstrate that three types of the finite-time future singularities can occur in non-local gravity and explore their properties. R 2 It is shown that the addition of an term can cure the finite-time future singularities in non-local gravity.

III. Finite-time future singularities in non-local gravity A. Finite-time future singularities No. 14 In the flat FLRW space-time, we analyze an asymptotic solution of the gravitational field equations in the limit of the time t s when the finite-time future singularities appear. We consider the case in which the Hubble parameter is expressed as When, Scale factor h s : Positive constant q : Non-zero constant larger than -1 We only consider the period. a s : Constant

We examine the behavior of each term of the gravitational field equations in the limit, in particular that of the leading terms, and study the condition that an asymptotic solution can be obtained. the leading term For case, ø c =1 vanishes in both gravitational field For case, equations. No. 16 Thus, the expression of the Hubble parameter can be a leading-order solution in terms of for the gravitational field equations in the flat FLRW space-time.

V. Summary We have studied de Sitter solutions in non-local gravity. We have explored a condition to avoid a ghost and presented a screening scenario for a cosmological constant in de Sitter solutions. We have explicitly shown that three types of the finitetime future singularities (Type I, II and III) can occur in non-local gravity and examined their properties. We have investigated the behavior of the effective equation of state for the universe when the finitetime future singularities occur. We have demonstrated that the addition of an R 2 term can remove the finite-time future singularities in non-local gravity. No. 25

< Further results and remarks > No. 26 We have also studied de Sitter solutions in nonlocal gravity with Lagrange constraint multiplier. It has also been suggested that the addition of an term in the framework of non-local gravity might realize unification of inflation in the early universe with the cosmic acceleration in the late time.

F(R) R 2 It is known that in gravity, the addition of an term could cure the finite-time future singularities. It has been suggested that in the framework of non-local gravity combined with an R 2 term, inflation in the early universe as well as the cosmic acceleration in the late time could be realized. R 2 The additional term leads to inflation and the late-time cosmic acceleration occurs due to the term of non-local gravity in the action. Screening... gravity / K. Bamba et al. / bamba@kmi.nagoya-u.ac.jp46/??

We have shown that the late-time accelerating universe may be effectively the quintessence, cosmological constant or phantom-like phases. We have also demonstrated that there is a case with realizing a crossing of the phantom divide from the non-phantom (quintessence) phase to the phantom one in the limit of the appearance of a finite-time future singularity. The estimation of the current value of the effective equation of state parameter for the universe which could be phantomic one around -1 shows that its observed value could be easily realized by the appropriate choice of non-local gravity parameters. We have considered the cosmological consequences of adding an term. R 2

Under the constraint, we define U 0 : Constant n, ë, í : Constants

< Non-local action > No. L3 Introducing two scalar fields ñ and ø We assume the following form of the metric:, ψ n can be even or odd integer. and only depends on time. We suppose ñ and ø only depend on t. We examine most simple but non-trivial case that m =2. (i.e., n =0, í =0 )

The variation of the action with respect to ñ gives No. L4 b =0 in the above background, after putting. The variation of the action with respect to ø leads to in the above background. For m =2, the action is expressed as By the variation of the action with respect to b, we obtain the equation corresponding to the first FLRW equation: * We have used

The variation of the action with respect to a gives the equation corresponding to the second FLRW equation: No. L5 We investigate if there could be a solution describing the de Sitter space. We assume. * We take. We suppose., ø 0,ø 1 : Constants of the integration

Consequently, if we choose properly, there always appears the solution describing the de Sitter universe. t c t c ø 1 can be a screening of the cosmological constant. * The last term is a correction coming from the covariant like model.

The non-local action often appears as a quantum correction. This equation implies again that the correction effectively changes the value of the cosmological constant. ø ø 0 t ø 0 If in the early universe, where, this equation means * H 0 If corresponds to the value of the Hubble parameter in the present universe, the second term could be negligible. No. L7 If is positive and very large, the effective cosmological constant in the present universe could be very small. We explore a condition to avoid the appearance of a ghost. We make a conformal transformation to the Einstein frame:

< Crossing of the phantom divide > No. B1 Various observational data (SN, Cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), BAO) imply that the effective EoS of dark energy w DE may evolve from larger than -1 (non-phantom phase) to less than -1 (phantom phase). Namely, it crosses -1 (the crossing of the phantom divide). w DE à 1 z c 0 z z c Redshift: z ñ 1 a à 1 : Red shift at the crossing of the phantom divide [Alam, Sahni and Starobinsky, JCAP 0406, 008 (2004)] [Nesseris and Perivolaropoulos, JCAP 0701, 018 (2007)] [Alam, Sahni and Starobinsky, JCAP 0702, 011 (2007)] (a) w DE > à 1 Non-phantom phase (b) w DE = à 1 Crossing of the phantom divide (c) w DE < à 1 Phantom phase

For most observational probes (except the SNLS data), a low Ω 0m prior (0.2 < Ω 0m < 0.25) leads to an increased probability (mild trend) for the crossing of the phantom divide. Ω 0m : Current density parameter of matter [Nesseris and L. Perivolaropoulos, JCAP 0701, 018 (2007)] No. B4
