Cosmological initial data for numerical relativity [PDF]
Phys. Rev. D 102, 044022 (2020), 2020 We find initial data for numerical relativity simulations of inhomogeneous cosmologies. This involves treating an exceptional case of the general relativity constraint equations. We devise analytic and numerical methods to treat this exceptional case. We apply the analytic method to the standard case of cosmology with a single scalar field.

L'emergenza dello spazio-tempo nella gravità quantistica e nella cosmologia quantistica
Philosophy Kitchen, 2019 Our best description of spacetime is provided by general relativity – yet, this theory is not thought to be fundamental. Instead, it is expected to be replaced by a theory of quantum gravity, which may not feature spacetime fundamentally.

Does a Theory of Everything Exist?
Философия и космология, 2021 Since Einstein’s failure to define a Grand Unified Theory, physicists have pursued a comprehensive theory explaining nature, a Theory of Everything. But because General Relativity, Quantum Field Theory, and Cosmology have little in common, defining one ...

Switching Internal Times and a New Perspective on the `Wave Function of the Universe’
Universe, 2019 Despite its importance in general relativity, a quantum notion of general covariance has not yet been established in quantum gravity and cosmology, where, given the a priori absence of coordinates, it is necessary to replace classical frames with ...

Minisuperspace Quantum Cosmology in Metric and Affine Theories of Gravity
Universe, 2022 Minisuperspace Quantum Cosmology is an approach by which it is possible to infer initial conditions for dynamical systems which can suitably represent observable and non-observable universes. Here we discuss theories of gravity which, from various points

Einstein and Rastall theories of gravitation in comparison
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018 We profit by a recent paper of Visser claiming that Rastall gravity is equivalent to Einstein gravity to compare the two gravitational theories in a general way. Our conclusions are different from Visser’s ones.

$$f(\mathcal {G})$$ f(G) Noether cosmology
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2020 We develop the n-dimensional cosmology for $$f(\mathcal {G})$$ f(G) gravity, where $$\mathcal {G}$$ G is the Gauss–Bonnet topological invariant. Specifically, by the so-called Noether Symmetry Approach, we select $$f(\mathcal {G})\simeq \mathcal {G}^k ...

Gen.Rel.Grav.40:1967-1980,2008, 2008 We have quantized a flat cosmological model in the context of the metric f(R) models, using the causal Bohmian quantum theory. The equations are solved and then we have obtained how the quantum corrections influence the classical equations.

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 It was recently shown that the homogeneous and isotropic cosmology of a massless scalar field coupled to general relativity exhibits a new hidden conformal invariance under Mobius transformation of the proper time, additionally to the invariance under ...

Cosmology models with Ω_M-dependent cosmological constant [PDF]
Gen.Rel.Grav. 35 (2003) 1007-1016, 2002 We investigate the evolution of the scale factor in a cosmological model in which the cosmological constant is given by the scalar arisen by the contraction of the stress-energy tensor.
