On the Stability of Static Ghost Cosmologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the linear stability of a static universe filled with a non-interacting mixture of isotropic radiation and a ghost scalar field. Unlike the conventional Einstein static model, this cosmology is stable against homogeneous and isotropic perturbations. This is shown by means of exact oscillatory solutions about the original static state. Using covariant techniques, we also examine the linear response of the static ghost universe to all types of inhomogeneous fluctuations, namely density, vorticity and gravitational-wave perturbations. The results show that the static background constrains the linear evolution of these distortions, to the extent that density perturbations remain time invariant, vortical distortions vanish and gravitational waves oscillate with constant amplitude. We discuss potential implications of these results for past-eternal initial states in classical general relativistic cosmology.

Dynamical systems analysis of anisotropic cosmologies in R-gravity
In this paper we study the dynamics of orthogonal spatially homogeneous Bianchi cosmologies in R-gravity. We construct a compact state space by dividing the state space into different sectors. We perform a detailed analysis of the cosmological behaviour in terms of the parameter n, determining all the equilibrium points, their stability and corresponding cosmological evolution. In particular, t...

متن کاملComparison of Static Postural Stability Performance Among Adolescents with Different Foot Types
The foot represents a small base of support as an important biomechanical parameter that the body maintains balance. It is assumed that postural stability performance could be affected by even minor alteration in the support surface in upright standing position. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if individuals with different foot types would demonstrate differences in static...
