Do geometric invariants of preferred extremals define topological invariants of space-time surface and code for quantum physics?
The recent progress in the understanding of preferred extremals of Kähler action leads to the conclusion that they satisfy Einstein-Maxwell equations with cosmological term with Newton’s constant and cosmological constant predicted to have a spectrum. One particular implication is that preferred extremals have a constant value of Ricci scalar. The implications of this are expected to be very po...
متن کاملBulk viscous string cosmological models in Saez – Ballester theory of gravitation
Spatially homogeneous Bianchi type-II, VIII and IX anisotropic, as well as isotropic cosmological models can be obtained in a scalar tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (1986) when the source for energy momentum tensor is a bulk viscous fluid containing one-dimensional cosmic strings. All the models obtained and presented here are expanding, non-rotating and accelerating...

We consider scalar perturbations of energy–density for a class of cosmological models where an early phase of accelerated expansion evolves, without any fine– tuning for graceful exit, towards the standard Friedman eras of observed universe. The quantum geometric procedure which generates such models agrees with results for string cosmology since it works if dynamics is dominated by a primordia...

متن کاملClassical and Quantum Theory of Perturbations in Inflationary Universe Models
A brief introduction to the gauge invariant classical and quantum theory of cosmological perturbations is given. The formalism is applied to inflationary Universe models and yields a consistent and unified description of the generation and evolution of fluctuations. A general formula for the amplitude of cosmological perturbations in inflationary cosmology is derived. ⋆ Invited lecture presente...
