M/String Theory, S-branes and Accelerating Universe
Recently it was observed that the hyperbolic compactification of M/string theory related to Sbranes may lead to a transient period of acceleration of the universe. We study time evolution of the corresponding effective 4d cosmological model supplemented by cold dark matter and show that it is marginally possible to describe observational data for the late-time cosmic acceleration in this model....
متن کاملAccelerating Cosmologies from S-Branes
We point out that the recently proposed model of a flat 4-dimensional universe with accelerated expansion in string/M-theory is a special case of time-dependent solutions that the author found under the name of “S-branes.” We also show that similar accelerating models can be obtained from S-branes if the internal space is chosen to be hyperbolic or flat spaces. PACS numbers: 04.50.+h, 11.25.Yb,...
متن کاملAccelerating Universe and the Scalar-Tensor Theory
To understand the accelerating universe discovered observationally in 1998, we develop the scalar-tensor theory of gravitation originally due to Jordan, extended only minimally. The unique role of the conformal transformation and frames is discussed particularly from a physical point of view. We show the theory to provide us with a simple and natural way of understanding the core of the measure...
متن کاملTheory Challenges of the Accelerating Universe
The accelerating expansion of the universe presents an exciting, fundamental challenge to the standard models of particle physics and cosmology. I highlight some of the outstanding challenges in both developing theoretical models and interpreting without bias the observational results from precision cosmology experiments in the next decade that will return data to help reveal the nature of the ...
متن کاملTring Theory and an Accelerating Universe
An accelerating Universe can be accommodated naturally within non-critical string theory, in which scattering is described by a superscattering matrix $ that does not factorize as a product of Sand S †-matrix elements and time evolution is described by a modified Liouville equation characteristic of open quantum-mechanical systems. We describe briefly alternative representations in terms of the...
