A cosmology inspired structure for phase space is introduced, which leads to finitization and lattice-like discretization of position and momentum eigenvalues in a preferred, cosmic frame. Lorentz invariance is broken at very high energies,…
Recent experimental results from supernovae Ia observations have been interpreted to show that the rate of expansion of the universe is increasing. Other recent experimental results find strong indications that the universe is ``flat.'' In…

We propose a discrete lattice version of the Fokker-Planck kinetic equation along lines similar to the Lattice-Boltzmann scheme. Our work extends an earlier one-dimensional formulation to arbitrary spatial dimension $D$. A generalized…
The plethora of recent cosmologically relevant data has indicated that our universe is very well fit by a standard Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) model, with $\Omega_{M} \approx 0.27$ and $\Omega_{\Lambda} \approx 0.73$ --…
We consider the Universe deep inside the cell of uniformity. At these scales, the Universe is filled with inhomogeneously distributed discrete structures (galaxies, groups and clusters of galaxies), which perturb the background Friedmann…
We describe a technique for solving the combined collisionless Boltzmann and Poisson equations in a discretised, or lattice, phase space. The time and the positions and velocities of `particles' take on integer values, and the forces are…
The Hubble constant proves to be the pseudo-Finsleroid--Landsberg factor. The covariantly conserved pseudo-Finsleroid--gravitational tensor is explicitly found after evaluating the respective Finsleroid--case curvature tensor and required…
We numerically integrate the Einstein's equations for a spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaire-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) background spacetime with a spatial curvature perturbation and evolving primordial tensor perturbations using the Einstein…
A local void in the globally Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological model with the critical density ($\Omega_{0}=1$) is studied. The inhomogeneity is described using a Lema\^{\i}tre-Tolman-Bondi solution for a spherically symmetric…
The effect of curvature on the results of fractal analyses of the galaxy distribution is investigated. We show that, if the universe satisfies the criteria of a wide class of parabolic homogeneous models, the observers measuring the fractal…
Many condensed matter systems are such that their collective excitations at low energies can be described by fields satisfying equations of motion formally indistinguishable from those of relativistic field theory. The finite speed of…
Modern observations based on general relativity indicate that the spatial geometry of the expanding, large-scale Universe is very nearly Euclidean. This basic empirical fact is at the core of the so-called "flatness problem", which is…
Compact, flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) models have recently regained interest as a good fit to the observed cosmic microwave background temperature fluctuations. However, it is generally thought that a globally,…
We derive an expression for the luminosity distance in FLRW spacetimes affected by scalar perturbations. Our expression is complete to linear order and is expressed entirely in terms of standard cosmological parameters and observational…
The Lagrangian perturbation theory on Friedman-Lemaitre cosmologies investigated and solved up to the second order in earlier papers (Buchert 1992, Buchert \& Ehlers 1993) is evaluated up to the third order. On its basis a model for…
In our companion paper we identified a complete set of manifestly gauge-invariant observables for general relativity. This was possible by coupling the system of gravity and matter to pressureless dust which plays the role of a dynamically…
The closed Friedmann--Lema\^itre--Robertson--Walker (FLRW) universe of Einstein gravity with positive cosmological constant in three dimensions is investigated by using the Collins--Williams formalism in Regge calculus. A spherical Cauchy…
We study the decay of solutions of the wave equation in some expanding cosmological spacetimes, namely flat Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) models and the cosmological region of the Reissner-Nordstr\"om-de Sitter (RNdS)…
A new model of the observed universe, using solutions to the full Einstein equations, is developed from the hypothesis that our observable universe is an underdense bubble, with an internally inhomogeneous fractal bubble distribution of…
