Phase space geometry in scalar-tensor cosmology
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the phase space of spatially homogeneous and isotropic cosmology in general scalar-tensor theories. A reduction to a two-dimensional phase space is performed when possible — in these situations the phase space is usually a twodimensional curved surface embedded in a three-dimensional space and composed of two sheets attached to each other, possibly with complicated topology. The results obtained are independent of the choice of the coupling function of the theory and, in certain situations, also of the potential.

Strange quark matter attached to string cloud in general scalar tensor theory of gravitation
Bianchi type-VI0 space time with strange quark matter attached to string cloud in Nordtvedt [1] general scalar tensor theory of gravitation with the help of a special case proposed by Schwinger [2] is obtained. The field equations have been solved by using the anisotropy feature of the universe in the Bianchi type-VI0 space time. Some important features of the model, thus obtained, have been di...
متن کاملPhase Space Solutions in Scalar-Tensor Cosmological Models
An analysis of the solutions for the field equations of generalized scalar-tensor theories of gravitation is performed through the study of the geometry of the phase space and the stability of the solutions, with special interest in the Brans-Dicke model. Particularly, we believe to be possible to find suitable forms of the BransDicke parameter ω and potential V of the scalar field, using the d...
متن کاملRole of the brane curvature scalar in the brane world cosmology
We include the brane curvature scalar to study its cosmological implication in the brane world cosmology. This term is usually introduced to obtain the well-defined stress-energy tensor on the boundary of anti de Sitter-Schwarzschild space. Here we treat this as the perturbed term for cosmological purpose. It is shown that the brane curvature scalar induces some interesting consequences in the ...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Scalar-tensor Cosmology from Rs Two-brane Model
We consider Randall-Sundrum two-brane cosmological model in the low energy gradient expansion approximation by Kanno and Soda. It is a scalar-tensor theory with a specific coupling function. We find a first integral of equations for the A-brane metric and estimate constraints for the dark radiation term. We perform a complementary analysis of the dynamics of the scalar field (radion) using phas...
متن کاملTensor modes from a primordial Hagedorn phase of string cosmology.
It has recently been shown that a Hagedorn phase of string gas cosmology can provide a causal mechanism for generating a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of scalar metric fluctuations, without the need for an intervening period of de Sitter expansion. In this Letter, we compute the spectrum of tensor metric fluctuations (gravitational waves) in this scenario and show that it is also nearly scale...
