Brane cosmology with curvature corrections
We study the cosmology of the Randall-Sundrum brane-world where the Einstein-Hilbert action is modified by curvature correction terms: a four-dimensional scalar curvature from induced gravity on the brane, and a five-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet curvature term. The combined effect of these curvature corrections to the action removes the infinite-density big bang singularity, although the curvature ...
متن کاملCovariant Effective Action for Loop Quantum Cosmology
In loop quantum cosmology, non-perturbative quantum gravity effects lead to the resolution of the big bang singularity by a quantum bounce without introducing any new degrees of freedom. Though fundamentally discrete, the theory admits a continuum description in terms of an effective Hamiltonian. Here we provide an algorithm to obtain the corresponding effective action, establishing in this way...
متن کاملEfficient Regularization of Squared Curvature
Curvature has received increased attention as an important alternative to length based regularization in computer vision. In contrast to length, it preserves elongated structures and fine details. Existing approaches are either inefficient, or have low angular resolution and yield results with strong block artifacts. We derive a new model for computing squared curvature based on integral geomet...
متن کاملOn cosmological isotropy, quantum cosmology and the Weyl curvature hypothesis
The increasing entropy, large-scale isotropy and approximate flatness of the universe are considered in the context of signature change, which is a classical model of quantum tunnelling in quantum cosmology. The signature change hypothesis implies an initial inflationary epoch, the magnetic half of the Weyl curvature hypothesis, and a close analogue of the conformal singularity hypothesis. Addi...
متن کاملCosmology with Curvature - Saturated Gravitational Lagrangian R / √
We argue that the Lagrangian for gravity should remain bounded at large curvature, and interpolate between the weak-field tested Einstein-Hilbert LagrangianLEH = R/16πG and a pure cosmological constant for large R with the curvature-saturated ansatz Lcs = LEH/ √ 1+ l4 R2, where l is a length parameter expected to be a few orders of magnitude above the Planck length. The curvature-dependent effe...
