Vanishing Dimensions in Four Dimensional Cosmology with Nonminimal Derivative Coupling of Scalar Field

General Physics 2014-07-25 v1

Abstract

We discussed a mechanism that allows the universe to start from lower dimension (d<4d < 4) in its very early era and evolves to four dimension at the end of the process. The mechanism is generated by a nonminimal derivative coupling of scalar field, where derivative terms of the scalar field coupled to curvature tensor. We solve the Einstein equations for a limit of large and nearly constant Hubble parameter and analyze the evolution of the Hubble parameter in this limit. The lower-dimensionality in early universe has advantages in the context of unification theory.
