Four different extensions of the Standard Model to non-commutative space-time are considered. They all have the structure group U_Y(1) x SU_L(2) x SU_c(3) but differ through the way Yukawa interaction is implemented. Models based on…

This is the second part of a work aimed to study complex-phase oscillatory solutions of nonlinear symmetric hyperbolic systems. We consider, in particular, the case of one space dimension. That is a remarkable case, since one can always…

One discusses here the connection between \sigma-model gauge anomalies and the existence of a connection with torsion that does not flatten the Ricci tensor of the target manifold, by considering a number of non-symmetric coset spaces. The…

The model of the homogenous and isotropic universe is considered in which the coordinate system of reference is not defined by the matter but is a priori specified. The scale factor of the universe changes following the linear law. The…

In this paper, we consider homogeneous cosmological solutions in the context of the Weyl geometrical scalar-tensor theory. Firstly, we exhibit an anisotropic Kasner type solution taking advantage of some similarities between this theory and…

We show that a Universe with a nonminimally coupled scalar field can fit current measurements of the expansion rate of the Universe better than the standard $\Lambda$-Cold Dark Matter ($\Lambda$CDM) model or other minimally coupled dark…

Many cosmological models assume or imply that the total size of the universe is very large, perhaps even infinite. Here we argue instead that the universe might be comparatively small, in fact not much larger than the currently observed…

This article examines the analytic solutions of isotropic spacetime with the minimal coupling of scalar field and matter in the context of energy-momentum squared gravity. The scalar field includes quintessence and phantom dark energy…

In this article, we propose a new way to handle interactions between two scalar fields in the cosmological backdrop where one scalar field oscillates rapidly in the cosmological time scale while the other does not show any periodic behavior…

Following a previous work on Abelian (2,0)-gauge theories, one reassesses here the task of coupling (2,0) relaxed Yang-Mills superpotentials to a (2,0)- nonlinear $\sigma$-model, by gauging the isotropy or the isometry group of the latter.…
