Hyperbolic Space Cosmologies

چکیده
We present a systematic study of accelerating cosmologies obtained from M/string theory compactifications of hyperbolic spaces with time-varying volume. A set of vacuum solutions where the internal space is a product of hyperbolic manifolds is found to give qualitatively the same accelerating four-dimensional FLRW universe behavior as a single hyperbolic space. We also examine the possibility that our universe is a hyperbolic space and provide exact Milne type solutions, as well as intersecting S-brane solutions. When both the usual 4D spacetime and the m-dimensional internal space are hyperbolic, we find eternally accelerating cosmologies for m ≥ 7, with and without form field backgrounds. In particular, the effective potential for a magnetic field background in the large 3 dimensions is positive definite with a local minimum and thus enhances the eternally accelerating expansion.

A class of plane symmetric perfect-fluid cosmologies with a Kasner-like singularity
We prove the existence of a class of C∞ plane-symmetric perfect fluid cosmologies with a (− 1 3 , 2 3 , 2 3 ) Kasner-like singularity. These solutions of the Einstein-Euler equations depend on two C∞ functions of one space variable. They are constructed by solving a symmetric hyperbolic system of Fuchsian equations.
متن کاملElectromagnetic propagators in hyperbolic Robertson–Walker cosmologies
Green functions ~retarded, advanced, Feynman and Dyson propagators! are calculated for the electromagnetic field in Robertson–Walker cosmologies with hyperbolic 3-manifolds as spacelike slices. The starting point is the Proca equation, i.e., the Maxwell field with a finite photon mass for infrared regularization, in a static cosmology with simply connected hyperbolic 3-sections. The time and sp...

متن کاملCosmology as Relativistic Particle Mechanics: From Big Crunch to Big Bang
Cosmological solutions of gravity coupled to scalar fields, with arbitrary scalar potential, were recently shown to be geodesics in an appropriately augmented, and conformally rescaled, target space. Here we obtain these geodesics as solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations of a relativistic particle action. As an application, we find some exact (flat and curved) cosmologies for models with N ...

We present some exact scalar potentials for the dimensionally reduced theory and examine the possibility of obtaining accelerating 4d cosmology from String/M-theory, more generally, hyperbolic and flux compactification. In the hyperbolic case, even in the zero-flux limit, the scalar potential is positive for the 4d effective theory as required to get an accelerating universe, and thereby evadin...
