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...
متن کاملSelf-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...

متن کاملBackreaction 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 ...
متن کاملQuintessence 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.
