Bouncing Cosmologies in Brans-Dicke Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper it is shown that in Brans-Dicke (BD) theory, if one considers a non-minimal coupling between the matter and scalar field, it can give rise to a bouncing universe (i.e. an expanding universe preceded by a contracting universe). Two examples of such universes have been considered in a spatially flat FRW universe and their physical properties have been studied.

Cosmology in Brans-Dicke theory with a scalar potential
We consider the general behaviour of cosmologies in Brans-Dicke theory where the dilaton is self-interacting via a potential V (Φ). We show that the general radiation universe is a two-dimensional dynamical system whereas the dust or false vacuum universe is threedimensional. This is in contrast to the non-interacting dilaton which has uniformly a two-dimensional phase space. We find the phase ...
متن کاملMassless fields in scalar-tensor cosmologies.
We derive exact Friedmann–Robertson–Walker cosmological solutions in general scalar–tensor gravity theories, including Brans–Dicke gravity, for stiff matter or radiation. These correspond to the long or short wavelength modes respectively of massless scalar fields. If present, the long wavelength modes of such fields would be expected to dominate the energy density of the universe at early time...
متن کاملRole of the Brans-Dicke scalar in the holographic description of dark energy
We study cosmological application of the holographic energy density in the Brans-Dicke theory. Considering the holographic energy density as a dynamical cosmological constant, it is more natural to study it in the Brans-Dicke theory than in general relativity. Solving the Friedmann and Brans-Dicke field equations numerically, we clarify the role of Brans-Dicke field during evolution of the univ...

Pauli (or Einstein) frame is used to study the Brans-Dicke gravity theory, minimally coupled with dilatonic Brans-Dicke scalar field, whose solutions involve degenerate metrics. Some of these solutions exhibit transitions from an Euclidean domain to a Lorentzian space-time corresponding to a spatially flat Robertson-Walker cosmology.
