Massive scalar field near a cosmic string
The ζ function of a massive scalar field near a cosmic string is computed and then employed to find the vacuum fluctuation of the field. The vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor is also computed using a point-splitting approach. The obtained results could be useful also for the case of self-interacting scalar fields and for the finite-temperature Rindler space theory. PACS num...
متن کاملAccelerated expansion in a stochastic self-similar fractal Universe
In a recent paper, a cosmological model based on El Naschie E infinity cantorian spacetime was presented [1]. In that work it was claimed that the present accelerated expansion of the Universe can be obtained as the effect of a scaling law on newtonian cosmology with a certain time dependent gravitational constant (G). In the present work we show that it may be problematic to explain the presen...
متن کاملmodified gravity explain accelerated cosmic expansion ?
We show that the recently suggested explanations of cosmic acceleration by the modification of gravity at small curvature suffer violent instabilities and strongly disagree with the known properties of gravitational interactions. It seems established that at the present epoch the universe expands with acceleration. It follows directly from the observation of high red-shift supernovae [1] and in...
متن کاملAccelerated cosmological expansion due to a scalar field whose potential has a positive lower bound
In many cases a nonlinear scalar field with potential V can lead to accelerated expansion in cosmological models. This paper contains mathematical results on this subject for homogeneous spacetimes. It is shown that, under the assumption that V has a strictly positive minimum, Wald’s theorem on spacetimes with positive cosmological constant can be generalized to a wide class of potentials. In s...
متن کاملA Matter Scalar Field in a Closed Universe
We investigate the possibility that the matter of the universe has a significant component (the quintessence component) determined by the equation of state p = wρ, with w < 0. Here, we find conditions under which a closed model may look like a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe at low redshift. We study this problem in Einstein’s general relativity and Brans-Dicke theories. In both cases ...
