In this work we have constructed the n=4 extended local conformal time supersymmetry for the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmological models. This is based on the superfield construction of the action, which is invariant under wordline…
We obtain a time-dependent Schrodinger equation for the Friedmann - Robertson - Walker (FRW) model interacting with a homogeneous scalar matter field. We show that for this purpose it is necesary to include an additional action invariant…
We introduce the orthogonal Grassmannian as a novel kinematic space for describing correlators of massless spinning fields in de Sitter space. By automatically encoding the constraints of conformal symmetry and current conservation, the…
We describe the dynamics of a cosmological term in the spherically symmetric case by an r-dependent second rank symmetric tensor \Lambda_{\mu\nu} invariant under boosts in the radial direction. The cosmological tensor \Lambda_{\mu\nu}…
An origin and necessity of so called conformal (or,Penrose-Chernikov-Tagirov) coupling of scalar field to the metric of n-dimensional Riemannian space-time is discussed in brief. The corresponding general-relativistic field equation implies…
Spinor gravity is a functional integral formulation of gravity based only on fundamental spinor fields. The vielbein and metric arise as composite objects. Due to the lack of local Lorentz-symmetry new invariants in the effective…
Multiple scalar fields appear in vast modern particle physics and gravity models. When they couple to gravity non-minimally, conformal transformation is utilized to bring the theory into Einstein frame. However, the kinetic terms of scalar…

In the context of FRW spacetime with zero spatial curvature, we consider a multi-scalar tensor cosmology model under the pretext of obtaining quadratic conservation laws. We propose two new interaction potentials of the scalar field.…
We consider a model for gravity that is invariant under global scale transformations. It includes one extra real scalar field coupled non-minimally to the gravity fields. In this model all the dimensionful parameters like the gravitational…

In a recent article, Faraoni proposed an alternative procedure to solve the Friedman-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmological equations. The basic result of that paper was obtained long ago through a different approach, which seems to…
The Cosmological Principle (CP) -- the notion that the Universe is spatially isotropic and homogeneous on large scales -- underlies a century of progress in cosmology. It is conventionally formulated through the…

We construct a simple toy model of a closed FLRW spacetime by starting from a flat five dimensional scalar field space. The action contains no curvature terms. A string-like potential is used for the field space. The model is fully…
In the present work we consider Friedmann-Robertson-Walker models in the presence of a stiff matter perfect fluid and a cosmological constant. We write the superhamiltonian of these models using the Schutz's variational formalism. We notice…
