Higher-derivative Quantum Cosmology
The quantum cosmology of a higher-derivative gravity theory arising from the heterotic string effective action is reviewed. A new type of Wheeler-DeWitt equation is obtained when the dilaton is coupled to the quadratic curvature terms. Techniques for solving the Wheeler-DeWitt equation with appropriate boundary conditions shall be described, and implications for semiclassical theories of inflat...
متن کاملCosmology with Nonminimal Derivative Couplings
We study a theory which generalizes the nonminimal coupling of matter to gravity by including derivative couplings. This leads to several interesting new dynamical phenomena in cosmology. In particular, the range of parameters in which inflationary attractors exist is greatly expanded. We also numerically integrate the field equations and draw the phase space of the model in second order approx...
متن کاملCosmology with x-matter
Motivated by the possibility of H0t0 > 1 where H0 and t0 are the Hubble parameter and the age of the universe, respectively, we investigate the cosmology including xmatter. x-matter is expressed by the equation of state px = w0ρx0 + c 2 s (ρx − ρx0), where px, ρx and ρx0 are the pressure, the density of x-matter and the density at present, respectively. w0 and c 2 s are functions of ρx in gener...
متن کاملCosmology with inhomogeneous magnetic fields
We review spacetime dynamics in the presence of large-scale electromagnetic fields and then consider the effects of the magnetic component on perturbations to a spatially homogeneous and isotropic universe. Using covariant techniques, we refine and extend earlier work and provide the magnetohydrodynamic equations that describe inhomogeneous magnetic cosmologies in full general relativity. Speci...
متن کاملOn Torsion Fields in Higher Derivative Quantum Gravity
We consider axial torsion fields which appear in higher derivative quantum gravity. It is shown, in general, that the torsion field possesses states with two spins, one and zero, with different masses. The first-order formulation of torsion fields is performed. Projection operators extracting pure spin and mass states are given. We obtain the Lagrangian in the framework of the first order forma...
