Systemic Governance From Below: Story Telling to Empower Access to the Commons Through Mapping and Modelling: A Mixed Methods Approach

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 958-977, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Access to forests, farming land and the Citarum river is limited in Tarumajaya; furthermore, many do not own their own housing and are dependent on the public and private landowners in the area. The region of Tarumajaya faces significant challenges in access to crucial resources such as forests, farming land and the Citarum river, leading to a

On the Splitting of the Einstein Field Equations with respect to General (1+3) Threading of Spacetime

open access: yesAdvances in Mathematical Physics, 2016
Based on general (1+3) threading of the spacetime (M,g), we obtain a new and simple splitting of both the Einstein field equations (EFE) and the conservation laws in (M,g). As an application, we obtain the splitting of EFE in an almost FLRW universe with

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF A CLASS OF SPHERICALLY SYMMETRIC PERFECT FLUID DISTRIBUTIONS IN NONCOMOVING COORDINATES

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
The physical properties of an exact solution of Einstein's field equations are examined. This spherically symmetric perfect fluid solution contains expansion, acceleration and shear. There exist models with regions of spacetime where the pressure and the

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Swampland: The Cosmologist's Handbook to the String‐Theoretical Swampland Programme

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.

Global Spacetime Structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Here, we outline the basic structure of relativistic spacetime and record a number of facts. We then consider a distinction between local and global spacetime properties and provide important examples of each.

Spacetime and the Philosophical Challenge of Quantum Gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We survey some philosophical aspects of the search for a quantum theory of gravity, emphasising how quantum gravity throws into doubt the treatment of spacetime common to the two `ingredient theories' (quantum theory and general relativity), as a 4 ...

Cosmological analysis of scalar field models in f(R, T) gravity

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017
This paper determines the existence of Noether symmetry in non-minimally coupled f(R, T) gravity admitting minimal coupling with scalar field models. We consider a generalized spacetime which corresponds to different anisotropic and homogeneous universe ...

A Re‐Examination of Foundational Elements of Cosmology

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper undertakes a conceptual re‐examination of several foundational elements of cosmology through the lens of spacetime symmetries. A new derivation of the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric is obtained by a careful conceptual examination of rotations and translations on generic manifolds, followed by solving the rotational and ...

Is science without spacetime possible? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Numerous approaches to a quantum theory of gravity posit fundamental ontologies that exclude spacetime, either partially or wholly. This situation raises deep questions about how such theories could relate to the empirical realm, since arguably only ...

On the Necessity of Phantom Fields for Solving the Horizon Problem in Scalar Cosmologies

open access: yesUniverse, 2019
We discuss the particle horizon problem in the framework of spatially homogeneous and isotropic scalar cosmologies. To this purpose we consider a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) spacetime with possibly non-zero spatial ...
