An alternative to the cosmological ‘ concordance model ’
Precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background by WMAP are believed to have established a flat Λ-dominated universe, seeded by nearly scale-invariant adiabatic primordial fluctuations. However by relaxing the hypothesis that the fluctuation spectrum can be described by a single power law, we demonstrate that an Einstein-de Sitter universe with zero cosmological constant can fit the d...
متن کاملDynamical properties of a cosmological model with diffusion
The description of the dynamics of particles undergoing diffusion in general relativity has been an object of interest in the last years. Most recently a new cosmological model with diffusion has been studied in which the evolution of the particle system is described by a Fokker-Planck equation. This equation is then coupled to a modified system of Einstein equations, in order to satisfy the en...
متن کاملFalse vacuum decay in a brane world cosmological model
The false vacuum decay in a brane world model is studied in this work. We investigate the vacuum decay via the Coleman-de Luccia instanton, derive explicit approximative expressions for the Coleman-de Luccia instanton which is close to a Hawking-Moss instanton and compare the results with those already obtained within Einstein’s theory of relativity.
متن کاملThe Self Creation Challenge to the Cosmological 'concordance Model'
It is important to have viable alternatives against which standard theories may be tested. In this paper such an alternative to the standard cosmological 'concordance model' is examined. It is shown how the theory of Self Creation Cosmology is as concordant as the standard model with cosmological observations and local experiments. This is due to a degeneracy in the interpretation of the data. ...
متن کاملInterpreting Cosmological Vacuum Decay
The cosmological vacuum decay scenario recently proposed by Wang and Meng [1] is rediscussed. From thermodynamic arguments it is found that the ǫ parameter quantifying the vacuum decay rate must be positive in the presence of particle creation. If there is no particle creation, the proper mass of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) particles is necessarily a time dependent quantity, scaling as m(t) = moa(t)...
