Inhomogeneous M-Theory Cosmologies

چکیده
Abstract We study a class of inhomogeneous and anisotropic G2 string cosmological models. In the case of separable G2 models we show that the governing equations reduce to a system of ordinary differential equations. We focus on a class of separable G2 M-theory cosmological models, and study their qualitative behaviour (a class of models with time-reversed dynamics is also possible). We find that generically these inhomogeneous M-theory cosmologies evolve from a spatially inhomogeneous and negatively curved model with a non-trivial form field towards spatially flat and spatially homogeneous dilaton-moduli-vacuum solutions with trivial form–fields. The late time behaviour is the same as that of spatially homogeneous models previously studied. However, the inhomogeneities are not dynamically insignificant at early times in these models.

We describe our 3-dimensional numerical relativity code for the evolution of inhomogeneous cosmologies. During the evolution the constraint equations are monitored but not solved. The code has been tested against perturbation theory with good results. We present some runs of inhomogeneous inflation with strongly inhomogeneous initial data. * [email protected]
متن کاملAsymptotic singular behaviour of inhomogeneous cosmologies in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton-axion theory
We present the study of exact inhomogeneous cosmological solutions to a four-dimensional low energy limit of string theory containing non-minimal interacting electromagnetic, dilaton and axion fields. We analyze Einstein-Rosen solutions of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton-axion equations and show, by explicitly taken the asymptotic limits, that they have asymptotically velocity-term dominated (AVTD) si...
متن کاملAsymptotic behaviour of a class of inhomogeneous scalar field cosmologies
The asymptotic behaviour of a class of inhomogeneous scalar field cosmologies with a Liouville type of potential is studied. We define a set of new variables for which the phase space of the system of Einstein equations is bounded. This allows us to perform a complete analysis of the evolution of these cosmologies. We also discuss the extension of the cosmic no-hair theorem.
متن کاملOn Average Properties of Inhomogeneous Fluids in General Relativity: Perfect Fluid Cosmologies
For general relativistic spacetimes filled with an irrotational perfect fluid a generalized form of Friedmann’s equations governing the expansion factor of spatially averaged portions of inhomogeneous cosmologies is derived. The averaging problem for scalar quantities is condensed into the problem of finding an ‘effective equation of state’ including kinematical as well as dynamical ‘backreacti...
