Super-accelerating bouncing cosmology in asymptotically free non-local gravity
Recently, evidence has been collected that a class of gravitational theories with certain non-local operators is renormalizable. We consider one such model which, at the linear perturbative level, reproduces the effective non-local action for the light modes of bosonic closed string-field theory. Using the property of asymptotic freedom in the ultraviolet and fixing the classical behavior of th...
متن کاملNon-singular Cosmology in Modified Gravity
A non-singular cosmology is derived in modified gravity (MOG). The universe begins in the distant past in a contracting de Sitter phase, is non-singular at t = 0 and then describes approximately the standard radiation dominated solution before the time of decoupling. The spacetime in the neighborhood of t = 0 is described by Minkowski spacetime in which the Weyl curvature tensor vanishes and th...
متن کامل3D gravity and non-linear cosmology
By the inclusion of an additional term, non-linear in the scalar curvature R, it is tested if dark energy could rise as a geometrical effect in 3D gravitational formulations. We investigate a cosmological fluid obeying a non-polytropic equation of state (the van der Waals equation) that is used to construct the energy-momentum tensor of the sources, representing the hypothetical inflaton in gra...
متن کاملTowards singularity- and ghost-free theories of gravity.
We present the most general covariant ghost-free gravitational action in a Minkowski vacuum. Apart from the much studied f(R) models, this includes a large class of nonlocal actions with improved UV behavior, which nevertheless recover Einstein's general relativity in the IR.
متن کاملInfinite Derivative Gravity: A Ghost and Singularity-free Theory
The objective of this thesis is to present a viable extension of general relativity free from cosmological singularities. A viable cosmology, in this sense, is one that is free from ghosts, tachyons or exotic matter, while staying true to the theoretical foundations of General Relativity such as general covariance, as well as observed phenomenon such as the accelerated expansion of the universe...
