The method of generating functions in exact scalar field inflationary cosmology
The construction of exact solutions in scalar field inflationary cosmology is of growing interest. In this work, we review the results which have been obtained with the help of one of the most effective methods, viz., the method of generating functions ...

Hybrid Loop Quantum Cosmology: An Overview
Loop Quantum Gravity is a nonperturbative and background independent program for the quantization of General Relativity. Its underlying formalism has been applied successfully to the study of cosmological spacetimes, both to test the principles and ...

Abstract Wrinkle ridges are widespread compressional tectonic features on Mars and are important records of the planet's global contractional history. However, their formation, evolution and subsequent modification by other geologic processes remain poorly constrained.

SINGULARITIES IN INFLATIONARY COSMOLOGY: A REVIEW [PDF]
We review here some recent results that show that inflationary cosmological models must contain initial singularities. We also present a new singularity theorem. The question of the initial singularity re-emerges in inflationary cosmology because inflation is known to be generically futureeternal, It is natural to ask, therefore, if inflationary ...

Effects of the ekpyrotic mechanism on inflationary phase in loop quantum cosmologies
In bouncing cosmological models – whether classical or quantum – the big bang singularity is replaced by a regular bounce. A well-known challenge is controlling the growth of shear during the contracting phase, as the shear scales as $$a^{-6}$$ a - 6 ...

Mimetic gravity can be described as a formulation capable of mimicking different evolutionary scenarios regarding the universe dynamics. Notwithstanding its initial aim of producing a similar evolution to the one expected from the dark components of the ...

Abstract Lava tubes are subsurface volcanic conduits formed during effusive basaltic eruptions and are considered key targets for planetary exploration. Orbital remote sensing on the Moon and Mars has identified numerous collapse pits interpreted as possible surface expressions of underlying lava tube systems. However, the limited resolution of current

Inflation and Fractional Quantum Cosmology
The Wheeler–DeWitt equation for a flat and compact Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker cosmology at the pre-inflation epoch is studied in the contexts of the standard and fractional quantum cosmology.

Abstract A core drilled through shocked and faulted Archean granitoid gneisses and dolerites in the eroded peak ring of the 70–80 km diameter Morokweng impact structure intersects multiple centimeter‐ to meter‐wide clastic‐matrix breccias containing a polymict clast population of lithic and mineral clasts and altered, millimeter‐ to centimeter ‐size ...
