چکیده
A diagramatic heat kernel expansion technique is presented. The method is especially well suited to the small derivative expansion of the heat kernel, but it can also be used to reproduce the results obtained by the approach known as covariant perturbation theory. The new technique gives an expansion for the heat kernel at coincident points. It can also be used to obtain the derivative of the heat kernel, and this is useful for evaluating the expectation values of the stress-energy tensor.

de Sitter inflationary expansion from a noncompact KK theory: a nonperturbative quantum (scalar) field formalism Abstract We develop a nonperturbative quantum scalar field formalism from a non-compact Kaluza-Klein (KK) theory using the induced-matter theory of gravity during inflation. We study the particular case of a de Sitter expansion for the universe.

We provide a Hamiltonian analysis of the Mixmaster Universe dynamics on the base of a standard Arnowitt-Deser-Misner Hamiltonian approach, showing the covariant nature of its chaotic behaviour with respect to the choice of any time variable, from the point of view either of the dynamical systems theory, either of the statistical mechanics one.

Starting from delay equations that model field retardation effects, we study the origin of runaway modes that appear in the solutions of the classical equations of motion involving the radiation reaction force. When retardation effects are small, we argue that the physically significant solutions belong to the so-called slow manifold of the system and we identify this invariant manifold with th...

For a spatially flat Friedmann model with line element ds 2 = a 2 [da 2 /B(a) − dx 2 − dy 2 − dz 2 ], the 00-component of the Einstein field equation reads 8πGT 00 = 3/a 2 containing no derivative. For a nonlinear Lagrangian L(R), we obtain a second– order differential equation for B instead of the expected fourth-order equation. We discuss this equation for the curvature-saturated model propos...

A global phase time is identified for homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models yielding from the low energy effective action of closed bosonic string theory. When the Hamiltonian constraint allows for the existence of an intrinsic time, the quantum transition amplitude is obtained by means of the usual path integral procedure for gauge systems.
