The homogeneity of the universeGeneral Relativity and Gravitation - Tập 11 - Trang 281-289 - 1979
G. F. R. Ellis
The observational and philosophical grounds for our belief in the spatial homogeneity of the universe, are reconsidered. On the one hand, spatial homogeneity cannot be directly verified observationally, and, on the other hand, it raises a series of philosophical problems that counter its attractiveness to a considerable degree. It is pointed out that there are several possible alternative approach...... hiện toàn bộ

Dynamics of the universe with variable parameters that govern the gravitational interactionsGeneral Relativity and Gravitation - Tập 56 - Trang 1-26 - 2024
R. K. Mishra, Navya Jain
The present study investigates the Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker models (often FLRW models) with time varying G and
$$\Lambda $$
in the general theory of relativity. In this communication the Einstein field equations have been solved by considering the deceleration parameter q(t) as a varyin...... hiện toàn bộ
Letter: Effects of a Torsion Field on Big Bang NucleosynthesisGeneral Relativity and Gravitation - Tập 31 - Trang 1935-1939 - 1999
M. Bruggen
In this paper we investigate whether torsion,which arises naturally in most theories of quantumgravity, has observable implications for the Big Bangnucleosynthesis. Torsion can lead to spin flips amongst neutrinos thus turning them into sterileneutrinos. In the early Universe they can alter thehelium abundance which is tightly constrained byobservations. Here I calculate to what extent torsion oft...... hiện toàn bộ
Circular orbits and relative strains in Schwarzschild space-timeGeneral Relativity and Gravitation - Tập 24 - Trang 1091-1100 - 1992
F. de Felice, S. Usseglio-Tomasset
The equation of the relative strain is analyzed in tetrad form with respect to a family of observers moving on spatially circular orbits, in the Schwarzschild space-time. We select a field of tetrads, which we term phase locking frames, and explicitly calculate how, in the equatorial plane, the orbital acceleration, its gradient and the Fermi drag add together to compensate the curvature and assur...... hiện toàn bộ
Einstein-Rosen metrics generated by the inverse scattering transformGeneral Relativity and Gravitation - Tập 18 - Trang 1141-1158 - 1986
Xavier Fustero, Enric Verdaguer
The most general Einstein-Rosen solutions obtainable by the inverse scattering transform, using the Levi-Cività metric as seed are analyzed. They can be classified as a family of evolving metrics without a clear physical interpretation and a family representing gravitational waves absorbed and radiated by a massive cylinder. The physical interpretation is based on a perturbative analysis, which sh...... hiện toàn bộ
Thermodynamic Equilibrium in the Expanding UniverseGeneral Relativity and Gravitation - Tập 31 - Trang 1395-1405 - 1999
Winfried Zimdahl, Alexander B. Balakin
We show that a relativistic gas may be at"global" equilibrium in the expanding universe for anyequation of state 0 < p ≤ ρ/3, provided thatthe gas particles move under the influence of aself-interacting, efiective one-particle force in between elasticbinary collisions. In the force-free limit we recoverthe equilibrium conditions for ultrarelativistic matterwhich imply the existence of a conformal ...... hiện toàn bộ
Einstein–Rosen solutions from Kaluza–Klein theoryGeneral Relativity and Gravitation - Tập 45 - Trang 27-39 - 2012
L. A. López, N. Bretón, B. V. Ramírez
From a time-dependent boost-rotational symmetric vacuum solution of the Einstein Equations in five dimensions, through the Kaluza–Klein reduction the corresponding Einstein–Maxwell-dilaton solutions are obtained. The four dimensional counterpart turns out to be generalized Einstein–Rosen spacetimes representing unpolarized gravitational waves traveling in an inhomogeneous cosmology. Restricting th...... hiện toàn bộ
