The Possibility of Cosmic Acceleration via Spatial Averaging in Lemâıtre-Tolman-Bondi Models

چکیده
We investigate the possible occurrence of a positive cosmic acceleration in a spatially averaged, expanding, unbound Lemâıtre-Tolman-Bondi cosmology. By studying an approximation in which the contribution of three-curvature dominates over the matter density, we construct numerical models which exhibit acceleration.

متن کاملT-spheres as a limit of Lemâıtre-Tolman-Bondi solutions
In the Tolman model there exist two quite different branches of solutions generic Lemâıtre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) ones and T-spheres as a special case. We show that, nonetheless, T-spheres can be obtained as a limit of the class of LTB solutions having no origin and extending to infinity with the areal radius approaching constant. It is shown that all singularities of T-models are inherited from th...
متن کاملHawking radiation from the quantum Lemâıtre–Tolman–Bondi model
Abstract In an earlier paper, we obtained exact solutions of the Wheeler–DeWitt equation for the Lemâıtre–Tolman–Bondi (LTB) model of gravitational collapse, employing a lattice regularization. In this paper, we derive Hawking radiation in non-marginally bound models from our exact solutions. We show that a non-vanishing energy function does not spoil the (approximate) Planck spectrum near the ...
متن کاملAveraging in spherically symmetric cosmology
The averaging problem in cosmology is of fundamental importance. When applied to study cosmological evolution, the theory of macroscopic gravity (MG) can be regarded as a long-distance modification of general relativity. In the MG approach to the averaging problem in cosmology, the Einstein field equations on cosmological scales are modified by appropriate gravitational correlation terms. We st...
متن کاملInhomogeneity-Induced Cosmic Acceleration in a Dust Universe
Abstract It is the common consensus that the expansion of a universe always slows down if the gravity provided by the energy sources therein is attractive. To examine this point we find counter-examples for a spherically symmetric dust fluid described by the Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi solution. Thus, the validity of this naive consensus is indeed doubtful and the effects of inhomogeneities should be...
