We introduce in the framework of the linear approximation of General relativity a natural distinction between General gauge transformations generated by any vector field and those Special ones for which this vector field is a gradient. This…
This paper reports improvements and new results for a well developed theory of tachyons (faster-than-light particles) and follows the suggestion that neutrinos - especially the low energy neutrinos in the Cosmic Neutrino Background - may be…
It is demonstrated that dark energy, driven by tachyons having non-minimal coupling with curvature and self-interacting inverse cubic potential, decays to cold dark matter in the late universe. It is found that this penomenon yields a…
We study dynamics of generalized tachyon scalar field in the framework of teleparallel gravity. This model is an extension of tachyonic teleparallel dark energy model which has been proposed in [26]. In contrast with tachyonic teleparallel…
We introduce a modified divergence law for the energy-momentum tensor in the theory of unimodular relativity. Consequently, an additional equation for the measure field follows from the divergence of the field equations. The equations of…
We propose a gravitational theory in which the effective Lagrangian of the gravitational field is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar, the trace of the matter energy-momentum tensor, and the contraction of the Ricci tensor…
The momentum space associated with "tachyonic particles" proves to be rather intricate, departing very much from the ordinary dual to Minkowski space directly parametrized by space-time translations of the Poincar\'e group. In fact,…
We study cosmological effects of homogeneous tachyon field as dark energy. We concentrate on two different scalar field potentials, the inverse square potential and the exponential potential. These models have a unique feature that the…
We add an initial nonhomogeneous perturbation to an otherwise homogeneous condensing tachyon background and compute its space time energy-momentum tensor from worldsheet string theory. We show that in the far future the energy-momentum…
We analyze the energy configuration of a charged black hole in the Teleparallel Framework of General Relativity. We obtain the energy-momentum tensor of the gravitational field in a stationary frame, and we calculate its contribution to the…

The field theoretical description of the general relativity (GR) is further developed. The action for the gravitational field and its sources is given explicitely. The equations of motion and the energy-momentum tensor for the gravitational…
A tachyon field having a negative squared-mass $-m_t^2$ can be described in terms of massless fields degenerating infinitely with respect to helicities. This picture for tachyons does not contradict causality. It is seen that the tachyon…
We apply a new approach based on three relativistic groups (bradyon, tachyon and instanton) forming the `Lorentz groupoid' which allows, in particular, to consider tachyons without introducing imaginary masses and negative energies…
Recently, the tachyon cosmology has been represented as dark energy model to support the current acceleration of the universe without phantom crossing. In this paper, we study the dynamics of the tachyon cosmology in which the field plays…
The Quantum Cosmology can be understand as the theory of an one object that is the Universe described in terms of fundamental mass groundstate of the free boson string, that is a tachyon - a hypothetical particle with negative mass square,…
A tachyon is considered to be sick in the context of particle mechanics, but in field theory just indicates instability of a background. We consider a similar possibility that a ghost in field theory might be just an indication of…
The hypothesis about possible existence of new class of particles able to travel faster then light as a source of dark matter, recently formulated by L. Gonzalez-Mesters, is analyzed. To this end the general geometrical model for several…

The Einstein-Friedmann Universe as whole quantum object can be treated as bosonic string mass groundstate, called a tachyon, having negative mass square and a speed more than the speed of light. I present a brief review of results obtained…
