چکیده

We investigate time dependent solutions (S-brane solutions) for product manifolds consisting of factor spaces where only one of them is non-Ricci-flat. Our model contains minimally coupled free scalar field as a matter source. We discuss a possibility of generating late time acceleration of the Universe. The analysis is performed in conformally related Brans-Dicke and Einstein frames. Dynamical behavior of our Universe is described by its scale factor. Since the scale factors of our Universe are described by different variables in both frames, they can have different dynamics. Indeed, we show that with our S-brane ansatz in the Brans-Dicke frame the stages of accelerating expansion exist for all types of the external space (flat, spherical and hyperbolic). However, applying the same ansatz for the metric in the Einstein frame, we find that a model with flat external space and hyperbolic compactification of the internal space is the only one with the stage of the accelerating expansion. Scalar field can prevent this acceleration. It is shown that the case of hyperbolic external space in Brans-Dicke frame is the only model which can satisfy experimental bounds for the fine structure constant variations. We obtain a class of models where a pare of dynamical internal spaces have fixed total volume. It results in fixed fine structure constant. However, these models are unstable and external space is non-accelerating.

A Study of Accelerating Cosmologies from Superstring/M Theories

We study aspects of the accelerating cosmologies obtained from the compactification of vacuum solution and S2-branes of superstring/M theories. Parameter dependence of the resulting expansion of our universe and internal space is examined for all cases. We find that accelerated expansions are obtained also from spherical internal spaces, albeit the solution enters into contracting phase eventua...

Brane-bulk energy exchange and cosmological acceleration

The consequences for the brane cosmological evolution of energy exchange between the brane and the bulk are analyzed. A rich variety of brane cosmologies is obtained, depending on the precise mechanism of energy transfer, the equation of state of brane-matter and the spatial topology. An accelerating era is generically a feature of the solutions. Prepared for 36th International Symposium Ahrens...

Eternally accelerating cosmologies from S-brane

We construct an eternally inflating spacelike brane world model. This model is feasible only if the space dimension of the brane is three (SM2) or six (SM5) for M theory or four (SD3) for superstring theory. A time-dependent n-form field would supply a constant energy density and cause eternal expansion of the spacelike brane. On the other hand, the hyperbolic space perpendicular to the brane w...

Eternally accelerating spacelike braneworld cosmologies

We construct an eternally inflating spacelike brane world model. If the space dimension of the brane is three (SM2) or six (SM5) for M theory or four (SD3) for superstring theory, a time-dependent n-form field would supply a constant energy density and cause exponentially expansion of the spacelike brane. In these cases, the hyperbolic space perpendicular to the brane would keep its scale facto...

FRW Quantum Cosmology with a Generalized Chaplygin Gas∗

Cosmologies with a Chaplygin gas have recently been explored with the objective of explaining the transition from a dust dominated epoch towards an accelerating expansion stage. We consider the hypothesis that the transition to the accelerated period involves a quantum mechanical process. Three physically admissible cases are possible. In particular, we identify a minisuperspace configuration w...
