Cosmology in a String-Dominated Universe
نویسنده
چکیده
The string-dominated universe locally resembles an open universe, and fits dynamical measures of power spectra, cluster abundances, redshift distortions, lensing constraints, luminosity and angular diameter distance relations and microwave background observations. We show examples of networks which might give rise to recent string-domination without requiring any fine-tuned parameters. We discuss how future observations can distinguish this model from other cosmologies.

Universe Models with a Variable Cosmological “constant” and a “big Bounce”
We present a rich class of exact solutions which contains radiation-dominated and matter-dominated models for the early and late universe. They include a variable cosmological “constant” which is derived from a higher dimension and manifests itself in spacetime as an energy density for the vacuum. This is in agreement with observational data and is compatible with extensions of general relativi...
متن کاملString Cosmology: an Update
A string cosmology scenario (“pre-big-bang”) postulates that the evolution of the Universe starts from a state of very small curvature and coupling, undergoes a long phase of dilaton-driven kinetic inflation and at some later time joins smoothly standard radiation dominated cosmological evolution, thus giving rise to a singularity free inflationary cosmology. I report on recent progress in unde...

Departamento de F́ısica Teórica Instituto de F́ısica Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Apartado Postal 20-364 01000 México, D.F Abstract : The beautiful scenario of pre-big-bang cosmology is appealling not only because it is more or less derived from string theory, but also because it separates clearly the problem of the initial conditions for the universe from that of high curvatures.

متن کاملString Gas Cosmology L a T E X 2 Ε Version
String gas cosmology is a string theory-based approach to early universe cosmology which is based on making use of robust features of string theory such as the existence of new states and new symmetries. A first goal of string gas cosmology is to understand how string theory can effect the earliest moments of cosmology before the effective field theory approach which underlies standard and infl...
متن کاملString-dominated cosmology.
If string theory controls physics at the string scale, the dynamics of the early universe before the GUT era will be governed by the low-energy string equations of motion. Studying these equations, we find that depending on the initial conditions when the stringy era starts, and on the time when this era ends, there are a variety of qualitatively distinct types of evolution. Among these is the ...
