Magnetohydrodynamics in the Inflationary Universe
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves are analysed in the early Universe, in the inflationary era, assuming the Universe to be filled with a nonviscous fluid of the Zel’dovich type (p = ρ) in a metric of the de Sitter form. A spatially uniform, time dependent, magnetic field B0 is assumed to be present. The Einstein equations are first solved to give the time dependence of the scale factor, assuming that the matter density, but not the magnetic field, contribute as source terms. The various modes are thereafter analysed; they turn out to be essentially of the same kind as those encountered in conventional nongravitational MHD, although the longitudinal magnetosonic wave is not interpretable as a physical energy-transporting wave as the group velocity becomes superluminal. We determine the phase speed of the various modes; they turn out to be scale factor independent. The Alfvén velocity of the transverse magnetohydrodynamic wave becomes extremely small in the inflationary era, showing that the wave is in practice ’frozen in’.

In this paper, the analytical solutions of Brans-Dicke (B-D) equations with cosmological constant are presented, in which the equation of state of the universe is P=mÙ° ρ , under the assumption φRn=c between the B-D field and the scale factor of the universe. The flat (K=0) Robertson- Walker metric has been considered for the metric of the universe. These solutions are rich in the sense that ...

In this paper, the effective field theory for the anisotropic inflationary universe in Weinberg's approach is studied. We consider the leading correction terms to the standard interactions in the anisotropic inflationary models. These consist of forth derivative of the fields, scalar field, gauge field and metric. Then, the scalar power spectrum is investigated in the presence of higher energy ...
متن کاملTowards the Theory of Stationary Universe.
This talk presents some progress achieved in collaboration with A.Linde and D.Linde towards understanding the true nature of the global spatial structure of the Universe as well as the most general stationary characteristics of its timedependent state with eternally growing total volume. In our opinion, the simplest and, simultaneously, the most general version of inflationary cosmology is the ...
