Flat matter-coasting-fluid Friedmann solution ($a=\frac{{\Omega }_m}{2(1-{\Omega }_m)}[\cosh (\alpha \tau )-1]$)

A flat universe with separately conserved pressureless matter and a coasting fluid satisfies $a^{\prime 2}=H_0^2[{\Omega }_{m}a+(1-{\Omega }_m)a^2]$. For both densities positive, choosing the Big Bang at zero conformal time gives $a={\Omega }_m[\cosh (\alpha \tau )-1]/[2(1-{\Omega }_m)]$, with $\alpha =H_0\sqrt{1-{\Omega }_m}$. Physical time follows by integrating $dt=ad\tau$. The hyperbolic parametrization is formally like the open dust solution, but the spatial geometry here is flat.

The conformal Friedmann equation is ${\mathcal{H}}^2=H_0^2[{\Omega }_m/a+1-{\Omega }_m]$. Differentiating and using $a^{\prime }=a\mathcal{H}$ eliminates the matter term and yields a first-order Riccati equation. The expanding Big-Bang branch for $0<{\Omega }_m<1$ has $\mathcal{H}=\alpha \coth (\alpha \tau /2)$.
