Can noncommutative effects account for the present speed up of the cosmic expansion?

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper we investigate to which extent noncommutativity, a intrinsically quantum property, may influence the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological dynamics at late times/large scales.

Complex Riemannian Spacetime and Singularity-Free Black Holes and Cosmology

open access: yesAxioms
An approach is presented to address singularities in general relativity using a complex Riemannian spacetime extension. We demonstrate how this method can be applied to both black hole and cosmological singularities, specifically focusing on the ...

Deviation of geodesics in FLRW spacetime geometries [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The geodesic deviation equation (`GDE') provides an elegant tool to investigate the timelike, null and spacelike structure of spacetime geometries. Here we employ the GDE to review these structures within the Friedmann--Lema\^{\i}tre--Robertson--Walker (`

Analyzing cosmic inhomogeneities through perturbative modifications of FLRW spacetime

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
This research study investigates the modification of Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) spacetime, emphasizing the effects of universe expansion, dark matter, and cosmological perturbations.

Cosmological scaling solutions of minimally coupled scalar fields in three dimensions

open access: yes, 2000
We examine Friedmann-Robertson-Walker models in three spacetime dimensions. The matter content of the models is composed of a perfect fluid, with a $\gamma$-law equation of state, and a homogeneous scalar field minimally coupled to gravity with a self ...

Equilibration and freeze-out of an expanding gas in a transport approach in a Friedmann–Robertson–Walker metric

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2017
Motivated by a recent finding of an exact solution of the relativistic Boltzmann equation in a Friedmann–Robertson–Walker spacetime, we implement this metric into the newly developed transport approach Simulating Many Accelerated Strongly-interacting ...

McVittie–Plummer Spacetime: Plummer Sphere Immersed in the FLRW Universe

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The McVittie–Plummer spacetime is a spherically symmetric inhomogeneous cosmological model that represents a spherical star system embedded in a standard Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) cosmological model. We study the main physical properties

Induced Brownian motion by the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime in the presence of a cosmic string

open access: yes, 2019
In this paper we investigate the quantum Brownian motion of a massive scalar point particle induced by the FRW spacetime in the presence of a linear topological defect named cosmic string. In addition, we also consider a flat boundary orthogonal to the defect to analyse its effect on the particle's motion.

Gravitational Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
The spontaneous violation of Lorentz and diffeomorphism invariance in a phase near the big bang lowers the entropy, allowing for an arrow of time and the second law of thermodynamics. The spontaneous symmetry breaking leads to

Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetimes from the perspective of geometric algebra

open access: yes
The intention of our paper is to provide a pedagogical application of geometric algebra to a particularly well-investigated system: We formulate the geometric and dynamical properties of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetimes within the language of geometric algebra and re-derive the Friedmann-equations as the central cosmological equations. Through the
