Closed Inhomogeneous String Cosmologies

چکیده
We present a general algorithm which permits to construct solutions in string cosmology for heterotic and type-IIB superstrings in four dimensions. Using a chain of transformations applied in sequence: conformal, T-duality and SL(2,R) rotations, along with the usual generating techniques associated to Geroch transformations in Einstein frame, we obtain solutions with all relevant low-energy remnants of the string theory. To exemplify our algorithm we present an inhomogeneous string cosmology with S topology of spatial sections, discuss some properties of the solution and point out some subtleties involved in the concept of homogeneity and isotropy in string cosmology.

Asymptotic Behaviour of Inhomogeneous String Cosmologies
The asymptotic behaviour at late times of inhomogeneous axion-dilaton cosmologies is investigated. The space-times considered here admit two abelian space-like Killing vectors. These space-times evolve towards an anisotropic universe containing gravitational radiation. Furthermore, a peeling-off behaviour of the Weyl tensor and the antisymmetric tensor field strength is found. The relation to t...
متن کاملOn Average Properties of Inhomogeneous Fluids in General Relativity: Perfect Fluid Cosmologies
For general relativistic spacetimes filled with an irrotational perfect fluid a generalized form of Friedmann’s equations governing the expansion factor of spatially averaged portions of inhomogeneous cosmologies is derived. The averaging problem for scalar quantities is condensed into the problem of finding an ‘effective equation of state’ including kinematical as well as dynamical ‘backreacti...
متن کاملInhomogeneous M-Theory Cosmologies
Abstract We study a class of inhomogeneous and anisotropic G2 string cosmological models. In the case of separable G2 models we show that the governing equations reduce to a system of ordinary differential equations. We focus on a class of separable G2 M-theory cosmological models, and study their qualitative behaviour (a class of models with time-reversed dynamics is also possible). We find th...
متن کاملAsymptotic singular behaviour of inhomogeneous cosmologies in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton-axion theory
We present the study of exact inhomogeneous cosmological solutions to a four-dimensional low energy limit of string theory containing non-minimal interacting electromagnetic, dilaton and axion fields. We analyze Einstein-Rosen solutions of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton-axion equations and show, by explicitly taken the asymptotic limits, that they have asymptotically velocity-term dominated (AVTD) si...
متن کاملCosmological solutions of supercritical string theory
We study quintessence-driven, spatially flat, expanding FRW cosmologies that arise naturally from string theory formulated in a supercritical number of spacetime dimensions. The treelevel potential of the string theory produces an equation of state at the threshold between accelerating and decelerating cosmologies, and the resulting spacetime is globally conformally equivalent to Minkowski spac...
