Cosmological perturbations and classical change of signature.
Cosmological perturbations on a manifold admitting signature change are studied. The background solution consists in a Friedmann-LemaitreRobertsonWalker (FLRW) Universe filled by a constant scalar field playing the role of a cosmological constant. It is shown that no regular solution exist satisfying the junction conditions at the surface of change. The comparison with similar studies in quantu...
متن کاملEntropy of a classical stochastic field and cosmological perturbations.
We propose a general definition of nonequilibrium entropy of a classical stochastic field. As an example of particular interest in cosmology we apply this definition to compute the entropy of density perturbations in an inflationary Universe. On the scales of structures in the Universe, the entropy of density perturbations dominates over the statistical fluctuations of the entropy of cosmic mic...
متن کاملCosmological perturbations
We review the study of inhomogeneous perturbations about a homogeneous and isotropic background cosmology. We adopt a coordinate based approach, but give geometrical interpretations of metric perturbations in terms of the expansion, shear and curvature of constant-time hypersurfaces and the orthogonal timelike vector field. We give the gauge transformation rules for metric and matter variables ...
متن کاملConserved cosmological perturbations
A conserved cosmological perturbation is associated with each quantity whose local evolution is determined entirely by the local expansion of the Universe. It may be defined as the appropriately normalised perturbation of the quantity, defined using a slicing of spacetime such that the expansion between slices is spatially homogeneous. To first order, on super-horizon scales, the slicing with u...
متن کاملCosmological Brane Perturbations a
At the end of the last millennium it was realized that the traditional Kaluza-Klein approach is not the only possibility of dimensional reduction. An alternative approach was developed, the brane-world scenario. In this scenario the standard matter fields are constrained to a lower dimensional hypersurface, or brane, which is embedded in a higher dimensional spacetime, or bulk. The gravitationa...
