Transition from decelerated to accelerated cosmic expansion in braneworld universes
Braneworld theory provides a natural setting to treat, at a classical level, the cosmological effects of vacuum energy. Non-static extra dimensions can generally lead to a variable vacuum energy, which in turn may explain the present accelerated cosmic expansion. We concentrate our attention in models where the vacuum energy decreases as an inverse power law of the scale factor. These models ag...
متن کاملAn analytic model for the transition from decelerated to accelerated cosmic expansion
We present a simple analytical model where the evolution from decelerated to accelerated cosmic expansion can be interpreted as a “first-order” phase transition between two successive stages. The dominant energy condition allows different parts of the universe to evolve, from deceleration to acceleration, at different redshifts within a narrow era. This picture corresponds to the creation of bu...
متن کاملAccelerated expansion from braneworld models with variable vacuum energy
In braneworld models a variable vacuum energy may appear if the size of the extra dimension changes during the evolution of the universe. In this scenario the acceleration of the universe is related not only to the variation of the cosmological term, but also to the time evolution of G and, possibly, to the variation of other fundamental “constants” as well. This is because the expansion rate o...
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 کاملStrongly decelerated expansion of SN1979C
We observed SN1979C in M100 on 4 June 1999, about twenty years after explosion, with a very sensitive four-antenna VLBI array at the wavelength of λ18 cm. The distance to M100 and the expansion velocities are such that the supernova cannot be fully resolved by our Earth-wide array. Model-dependent sizes for the source have been determined and compared with previous results. We conclude that the...
