چکیده
The vector nature of magnetic fields and the geometrical interpretation of gravity introduced by general relativity, guarantee a special coupling between magnetism and spacetime curvature. This magneto-geometrical interaction effectively transfers the tension properties of the field into the spacetime fabric, triggering a variety of effects with profound implications. Given the ubiquity of magnetic fields in the universe, these effects could prove critical. We discuss the nature of the magneto-curvature coupling and illustrate some of its potential implications for cosmology.

An inhomogeneous cosmology describing a spacetime without symmetry is shown to be able to inflate the early universe and explain the late-time acceleration of the universe without a cosmological constant and negative pressure dark energy and avoid the coincidence problem. e-mail: [email protected]

We describe the universe as a local, inhomogeneous spherical bubble embedded in a flat matter dominated FLRW universe. Generalized exact Friedmann equations describe the expansion of the universe and an early universe inflationary de Sitter solution is obtained. A non-perturbative expression for the deceleration parameter q is derived that can possibly describe the acceleration of the universe ...

An exact inhomogeneous solution of Einstein’s field equations is shown to be able to inflate in a non-uniform way in the early universe and explain anomalies in the WMAP power spectrum data. It is also possible for the model to explain the accelerated expansion of the universe by late-time inhomogeneous structure. e-mail: [email protected]

We present a detailed simulation of the performance of water Cerenkov detectors suitable for use in the Pierre Auger Observatory. Using geant4, a flexible object-oriented simulation program, including all known physics processes, has been developed. The program also allows interactive visualization, and can easily be modified for any experimental setup.
