Exact Friedmann Solutions in Higher-Order Gravity Theories
We find the general behaviour of homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models in some fourth-order theories of gravity. Explicit, exact, general solutions are given for both empty universes and those filled with a perfect fluid. For the vacuum case, solutions are found with closed, open and flat geometries, whilst the perfect fluid solutions are all spatially flat. Both early and late-time lim...
متن کاملHigher order gravity theories and their black hole solutions
In these lectures notes, we will discuss a particular higher order gravity theory, Lovelock theory, that generalises in higher dimensions than 4, general relativity. After briefly motivating modifications of gravity, we will introduce the theory in question and we will argue that it is a unique, mathematically sensible, and physically interesting extension of general relativity. We will see, by...
متن کاملExact cosmological solutions of scale-invariant gravity theories
We have found new anisotropic vacuum solutions for the scale-invariant gravity theories which generalise Einstein’s general relativity to a theory derived from the Lagrangian R. These solutions are expanding universes of Kasner form with an initial spacetime singularity at t = 0 and exist for −1/2 < δ < 1/4 but possess different Kasner index relations to the classic Kasner solution of general r...
متن کاملThe Effective Cosmological Constant in Higher Order Gravity Theories
Fundamental issues as the determination of gravity vacuum state, the mechanism which led the early universe to the today observed large scale structures, and the prediction of what will be the fate of the whole universe are all connected to the determination of cosmological constant. Besides, from several points of view, it seems that Einstein’s theory of gravity must be generalized to higher–o...
متن کاملSlice Energy in Higher Order Gravity Theories and Conformal Transformations
We show that there is a generic transport of energy between the scalar field generated by the conformal transformation of higher order gravity theories and the matter component. We give precise relations of this exchange and show that, unless we are in a stationary spacetime, slice energy is not generically conserved. These results translate into statements about the relative behaviour of ordin...
