Towards a future singularity?
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss whether the future extrapolation of the present cosmological state may lead to a singularity even in case of “conventional” (negative) pressure of the dark energy field, namely w = p/ρ ≥ −1. The discussion is based on an often neglected aspect of scalar-tensor models of gravity: the fact that different test particles may follow the geodesics of different metric frames, and the need for a frame-independent regularization of curvature singularities.

In this work the late-time evolution of Bianchi type V III models is discussed. These cosmological models exhibit a chaotic behaviour towards the initial singularity and our investigations show that towards the future, far from the initial singularity, these models have a non-chaotic evolution, even in the case of vacuum and without inflation. These space-time solutions turn out to exhibit a pa...
متن کاملCOORDINATE INFLUENCE ON SINGULARITY OF A 3-UPS PARALLEL MANIPULATOR
This paper shows the coordinates influence on singularity of a three degree-of-freedom structure, namely, three-Universal-Prismatic-Spherical (3-UPS) parallel manipulator. Rotational coordinates, which are chosen to define the orientation of the platform, affect the singularity of the manipulator. Euler parameters, which don't have any inherent geometrical singularity are utilized, however they...

The Haft Saravan area is located in 90 km SE Arak in the central Iran. This area is a part of Malyer-Isfahan metallogenic belt. The article's objective is determining the most suitable method for identifying mineralized zones using original singularity and weighted singularity methods in three-dimensional space. In weighted singularity method, mineralized zones have a greater volume relative to...

متن کاملA Resolution of the Cosmological Singularity with Orientifolds
We propose a new cosmological scenario which resolves the conventional initial singularity problem. The space–time geometry has an unconventional time–like singularity on a lower dimensional hypersurface, with localized energy density. The natural interpretation of this singularity in string theory is that of negative tension branes, for example the orientifolds of type II string theory. Space–...
