Generalized Swiss-cheese cosmologies: Mass scales

Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics 2010-01-27 v3 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We generalize the Swiss-cheese cosmologies so as to include nonzero linear momenta of the associated boundary surfaces. The evolution of mass scales in these generalized cosmologies is studied for a variety of models for the background without having to specify any details within the local inhomogeneities. We find that the final effective gravitational mass and size of the evolving inhomogeneities depends on their linear momenta but these properties are essentially unaffected by the details of the background model.
