Friedmann Equation and Stability of Inflationary Higher Derivative Gravity

چکیده

Stability analysis on the De Sitter universe in pure gravity theory is known to be useful in many aspects. We first show how to complete the proof of an earlier argument based on a redundant field equation. It is shown further that the stability condition applies to k 6= 0 Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spaces based on the non-redundant Friedmann equation derived from a simple effective Lagrangian. We show how to derive this expression for the Friedmann equation of pure gravity theory. This expression is also generalized to include scalar field interactions.

Anisotropic higher derivative gravity and inflationary universe

Stability analysis of the Kantowski-Sachs type universe in pure higher derivative gravity theory is studied in details. The non-redundant generalized Friedmann equation of the system is derived by introducing a reduced one dimensional generalized KS type action. This method greatly reduces the labor in deriving field equations of any complicate models. Existence and stability of inflationary so...

Kaluza-Klein Higher Derivative Induced Gravity

Kaluza-Klein higher derivative induced gravity is studied for its application in the inflationary universe. The stability of an inflationary solution in aD+4-dimensional anisotropic space is analyzed carefully. We show that there is two nontrivial constraints derived from the static assumptions on the D-dimensional scale factor d and scalar field ψ. We find that a physical inflationary solution...

Chaotic Inflation on the Brane with Induced Gravity

We study the slow-roll inflationary dynamics in a self-gravitating induced gravity braneworld model with bulk cosmological constant. For E ≫ M3 5 /M2 4 we find important corrections to the four-dimensional Friedmann equation which bring the standard chaotic inflationary scenario in closer agreement with recent observations. For M3 5 /M 2 P l ≪ E ≪ M3 5 /M2 4 we find five-dimensional corrections...

A Non-Polynomial Gravity Formulation for Loop Quantum Cosmology Bounce

Recently the so-called mimetic gravity approach has been used to obtain corrections to the Friedmann equation of General Relativity similar to the ones present in loop quantum cosmology. In this paper, we propose an alternative way to derive this modified Friedmann equation via the so-called non-polynomial gravity approach, which consists of adding geometric non-polynomial higher derivative ter...

On the inflationary solutions in higher - derivative gravity with dilaton field

We discuss the existence of de Sitter inflationary solutions for the string-inspired fourth-derivative gravity theories with dilaton field. We consider a space-time of arbitrary dimension D and an arbitrary parametrization of the target space metric. The specific features of the theory in dimension D = 4 and those of the special ghost-free parametrization of the metric are found. We also consid...
