چکیده

We present novel regular Euclidean solutions to General Relativity in presence of Maxwell and conformally coupled scalar fields. In particular, we consider metrics the Eguchi-Hanson Taub-NUT families solve field equations analytically. The have nontrivial topology labeled by Hirzebruch signature Euler characteristic that compute explicitly. find that, although are locally inequivalent with original (anti-)self-dual metric, their asymptotically limit leads same global properties. revisit solution previously found literature, analyze nuts bolts structure, obtain renormalized on-shell action as well topological invariants. Additionally, discuss how get modified higher-curvature corrections respect conformal invariance. invariant case, demonstrate both Noether-Wald charges finite without any reference intrinsic boundary counterterms.

Traversable wormholes from massless conformally coupled scalar fields

The massless conformally coupled scalar field is characterized by the so-called ‘‘new improved stress-energy tensor’’, which is capable of classically violating the null energy condition. When coupled to Einstein gravity we find a three-parameter class of exact solutions. These exact solutions include the Schwarzschild geometry, assorted naked singularities, and a large class of traversable wor...

Self-Similar Collapse of Conformally Coupled Scalar Fields

A massless scalar field minimally coupled to the gravitational field in a simplified spherical symmetry is discussed. It is shown that, in this case, the solution found by Roberts[1], describing a scalar field collapse, is in fact the most general one. Taking that solution as departure point, a study of the gravitational collapse for the self-similar conformal case is presented. Introduction Gr...

Quintessence with Coupled Scalar Fields

We discuss the dynamics of a quintessence model involving two coupled scalar fields. The model presents two types of solutions, namely solutions that correspond to eternal and transient acceleration of the universe. In both cases, we obtain values for the cosmological parameters that satisfy current observational bounds as well as the nucleosynthesis constraint on the quintessence energy density.

Backreaction from non-zero mass conformally coupled scalar fields and the quantum creation of the Universe

The purpose of this paper is to study the homogeneous backreaction of nonzero mass conformally coupled scalar fields on a cosmological background, including flat spacetime, at one-loop order. For this study, the semiclassical Friedmann equation is solved using a method called order reduction. For a nearly flat background we get a scale factor that evolves to a stationary scale factor depending ...

On the conformally coupled scalar field quantum cosmology

We propose a new initial condition for the homogeneous and isotropic quantum cosmology, where the source of the gravitational field is a conformally coupled scalar field, and the maximally symmetric hypersurfaces have positive curvature. After solving corresponding Wheeler-DeWitt equation, we obtain exact solutions in both classical and quantum levels. We propose appropriate initial condition f...
