چکیده
This paper considers the Einstein equations coupled with the nonabelian gauge and Higgs fields. It is shown that, when cosmic string solutions are sought in the Einstein-Georgi-Glashow system and the Einstein-Weinberg-Salam system governing the gravitational-electromagnetic-weak interaction forces, the self duality conditions lead to positive values of the cosmological constant which can be expressed by some fundamental parameters in particle physics. PACS numbers: 04.50.+h, 11.15.-q, 12.10.-g.

Bulk Viscous Bianchi Type VI0 Cosmological Model in the Self-creation Theory of Gravitation and in the General Theory of Relativity
In the second self-creation theory of gravitation and in the general theory of relativity, Bianchi type VI0 cosmological model in the presence of viscous fluid is studied. An exact solution of the field equations is given by considering the cosmological model yields a constant decelerations parameter q=constant and the coefficients of the metric are taken as A(t)=[c1t+c<su...
متن کاملCurvature Coupling in Einstein-yang-mills Theory and Non-minimal Self-duality
A self-consistent non-minimal non-Abelian Einstein-Yang-Mills model, containing three phenomenological coupling constants, is formulated. The ansatz of a vanishing Yang-Mills induction is considered as a particular case of the self-duality requirement for the gauge field. Such an ansatz is shown to allow obtaining an exact solution of the selfconsistent set of equations when the space-time has ...
متن کاملLinearization of Einstein Field Equations with a Cosmological Constant in a Flat Background
Einstein field equations with a cosmological constant are linearized assuming a flat background metric. The final result is a set of EinsteinMaxwell-Proca equations for gravity in the weak field approximation. This linearization procedure implements the breaking of gauge symmetry in general relativity. A brief discussion of the physical consequences is proposed in the framework of the gauge the...
متن کاملPost-Newtonian celestial mechanics in scalar-tensor cosmology
Applying the recently developed dynamical perturbation formalism on cosmological background to scalar-tensor theory, we provide a solid theoretical basis and a rigorous justification for phenomenological models of orbital dynamics that are currently used to interpret experimental measurements of the timedependent gravitational constant. We derive the field equations for the scalar-tensor pertur...

Einstein field equations with a cosmological constant are approximated to the second order in the perturbation to a flat background metric. The final result is a set of Einstein-Maxwell-Proca equations for gravity in the weak field regime. This approximation procedure implements the breaking of gauge symmetry in general relativity. A brief discussion of the physical consequences (Pioneer anomal...
