The Dominant Balance at Cosmological Singularities

چکیده
We define the notion of a finite-time singularity of a vector field and then discuss a technique suitable for the asymptotic analysis of vector fields and their integral curves in the neighborhood of such a singularity. Having in mind the application of this method to cosmology, we also provide an analysis of the time singularities of an isotropic universe filled with a perfect fluid in general relativity.

D-branes and Cosmological Singularities
The motion of a test Dq-brane in a Dp-brane background is studied. The induced metric on the test brane is then interpreted as the cosmology of the test brane universe. One is then able to resolve the resulting cosmological singularities. In particular, for a D3-brane in a D5-brane background, one finds a 3+1 dimensional FRW universe with equation of state p = ε. It has been argued that this ma...
متن کاملGeodesic behaviour around cosmological milestones
In this paper we provide a thorough classification of Friedman-Lemâıtre-RobertsonWalker (FLRW) cosmological models in terms of the strong or weak character of their singularities according to the usual definitions. The classification refers to a generalised Puiseux power expansion of the scale factor of the model around a singular event.
متن کاملCosmological Singularities and a Conjectured Gravity/coset Correspondence
We review the recently discovered connection between the Belinsky-Khalatnikov-Lifshitz-like “chaotic” structure of generic cosmological singularities in eleven-dimensional supergravity and the “last” hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra E10. This intriguing connection suggests the existence of a hidden “correspondence” between supergravity (or even M-theory) and null geodesic motion on the infinite-dim...
متن کاملIsotropic Cosmological Singularities : Other matter models
Isotropic cosmological singularities are singularities which can be removed by rescaling the metric. In some cases already studied ([2], [1]) existence and uniqueness of cosmological models with data at the sin-gularity has been established. These were cosmologies with, as source, either perfect fluids with linear equations of state or massless, collision-less particles. In this article we cons...
متن کاملConical singularities regularized in warped six-dimensional flux compactification and their induced brane cosmology
We discuss the regularization of codimension-2 singularities in warped six-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell axisymmetric models by replacing them by codimension-1 branes of a ring form, situated around the axis of symmetry. Further we consider the case of one capped regularized conical brane of codimension one and study the cosmological evolution which is induced on it as it moves in between the kn...
