Singularity Free (homogeneous Isotropic) Universe in Graviton-dilaton Models
We present a class of graviton-dilaton models in which a homogeneous isotropic universe, such as our observed one, evolves with no singularity at any time. Such models may stand on their own as interesting models for singularity free cosmology, and may be studied further accordingly. They may also arise from string theory. We discuss critically a few such possibilities. PACS numbers: 98.80.Hw, ...
متن کاملConformal Relativity versus Brans-Dicke and Superstring Theories
We show how conformal relativity is related to Brans–Dicke theory and to low-energy-effective superstring theory. Conformal relativity or the Hoyle–Narlikar theory is invariant with respect to conformal transformations of the metric. We show that the conformal relativity action is equivalent to the transformed Brans–Dicke action for ω = −3/2 (which is the border between standard scalar field an...
متن کاملEarly Universe Evolution in Graviton-dilaton Models
We present a class of graviton-dilaton models which leads to a singularity free evolution of the universe. We study the evolution of a homogeneous isotropic universe. We follow an approach which enables us to analyse the evolution and obtain its generic features even in the absence of explicit solutions, which are not possible in general. We describe the generic evolution of the universe and sh...
متن کامل-non-perturbative Four-Dimensional String Cosmology
Starting from an exact (in the Regge slope α ′ ) functional method for a bosonic stringy σ-model, we investigate four-dimensional cosmological string solutions in graviton, dilaton and antisymmetric tensor backgrounds, compatible with world-sheet conformal invariance, and valid beyond perturbative expansions in powers of α ′ . The antisymmetric tensor field, playing the rôle of an axion in the ...
متن کاملA Stringy Composite Graviton and the Cosmological Constant Problem
A heuristic model of a composite graviton is presented motivated by open string field theory. The model simply assumes a composite closed string sector, world sheet conformal invariance and the observed open string states, i.e., standard model particles, as an input. A UV to IR map from the open string to the closed string sectors naturally emerges. The IR cutoff of the lightest observed fermio...
