Gravitational backreaction in cosmological spacetimes
We develop a new formalism for the treatment of gravitational backreaction in the cosmological setting. The approach is inspired by projective techniques in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. We employ group-averaging with respect to the action of the isotropy group of homogeneous and isotropic spacetimes (rather than spatial averaging), in order to define effective FRW variables for a gene...
متن کاملBACKREACTION OF LINEAR PERTURBATIONS AND DARK ENERGYa
The coincidence problem. Perhaps the most surprising observation in modern cosmology is that the expansion of the universe has apparently started to accelerate in the recent past, at a redshift of probably less than one. This phenomenon has usually been interpreted in the context of a homogeneous and isotropic model of the universe. The acceleration can then be accommodated only by modifying gr...
متن کاملCosmological perturbations from stochastic gravity
In inflationary cosmological models driven by an inflaton field the origin of the primordial inhomogeneities which are responsible for large-scale structure formation are the quantum fluctuations of the inflaton field. These are usually calculated using the standard theory of cosmological perturbations, where both the gravitational and the inflaton fields are linearly perturbed and quantized. T...
متن کاملCosmological Perturbations from Cosmic Strings ∗
Some aspects of the theory of cosmological perturbations from cosmic strings and other topological defects are outlined, with particular reference to a simple example: a spatially flat CDM-dominated universe. The conserved energy-momentum pseudo-tensor is introduced, and the equation for the density perturbation derived from it. It is shown how the scaling hypothesis for defect evolution result...
متن کاملOn the onset of cosmological backreaction
Cosmological backreaction has been suggested as an explanation of dark energy and is heavily disputed since. We combine cosmological perturbation theory with Buchert’s non-perturbative framework, calculate the relevant averaged observables up to second order in the comoving synchronous gauge, and discuss their gauge dependence. With the help of an integrability condition the leading second orde...
