More General Sudden Singularities
read the original abstract
We present a general form for the solution of an expanding general-relativistic Friedmann universe that encounters a singularity at finite future time. The singularity occurs in the material pressure and acceleration whilst the scale factor, expansion rate and material density remain finite and the strong energy condition holds. We also show that the same phenomenon occurs, but under different conditions, for Friedmann universes in gravity theories arising from the variation of an action that is an arbitrary analytic function of the scalar curvature.

Cosmology of fractional gravity
Fractional gravity yields stable de Sitter expansion and exact bouncing solutions driven by phantom (w < -1) or ghost (negative energy) fluids, with results independent of the form-factor representation.

$\Lambda$CDM-like models with future singularities
Dark energy models with pressure defined as a function of scale factor match ΛCDM observations today but develop finite-time future singularities, including exact scalar field representations and calculated effects on...

Finite scale factor and future singularities
Dark energy models with pressure as a function of scale factor produce type I-IV finite-time future singularities that exhibit similar late-time behavior.
