We consider two consecutive eons $\hat{M}$ and $\check{M}$ from Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology and study how the matter content of the past eon ($\hat{M}$) determines the matter content of the present eon ($\check{M}$) by means of the…
Conformally flat spherically symmetric cosmological models representing a charged perfect fluid as well as a bulk viscous fluid distribution have been obtained. The cosmological constant \Lambda is found positive and is a decreasing…
Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) is a cyclic model of the universe put forward by Sir Roger Penrose. A conformal invariance assumption in the neighbourhood of the crossover region between cycles (which Penrose calls aeons) allows successive…
Conformal Ricci and conformal matter collineations for the combination of two perfect fluids in General Relativity are investigated. We study the existence of timelike and spacelike conformal Ricci and matter collineations by introducing…
We show that two consecutive Universes with positive cosmological constants filled with perfect fluids and conformal to the positive-spatial-curvature FLRW metric by an analytic conformal transformation have the following features implied…
The conformal flow of metrics [2] has been used to successfully establish a special case of the Penrose inequality, which yields a lower bound for the total mass of a spacetime in terms of horizon area. Here we show how to adapt the…
We consider the problem of matching two spacetimes, the previous and present aeons, in the Conformal Cyclic Cosmology model. The common boundary between them inherits two sets of constraints -- one for each solution of the Einstein field…
The 3-space of a universe model is defined at a certain simultaneity. Hence space depends on which time is used. We find a general formula generating all known transformations to conformally flat spacetime coordinates, and work out the…
A physicaly reasonable interpretation is provided for the perfect fluid, sphericaly symmetric, conformally flat ``Stephani Universes''. The free parameters of this class of exact solutions are determined so that the ideal gas relation $p=n…
We analyse spacetimes with a conformal scalar field source, a cosmological constant and a quartic self-interaction term for the scalar field. We also consider additional matter contents in the form of Maxwell and Yang-Mills fields or…
In this work we compile a few differential equations (ODEs) that arise from the relativistic equations in cosmological models that consider the ``constants'' as scalars functions dependent on time and they are described as perfect as well…
Cosmological models can be studied effectively using dynamical systems techniques. Starting from Brown's formulation of the variational principle for relativistic fluids, we introduce new types of couplings involving a perfect fluid, a…
Cosmological singularity theorems such as that of Hawking and Penrose assume local curvature conditions as well as global ones like the existence of a compact (achronal) slice. Here, we prove a new singularity theorem for chronological…
We deduce general expressions for the line element of universe models with positive spatial curvature described by conformally flat spacetime coordinates. Models with dust, radiation and vacuum energy are exhibited. Discussing the existence…
In this work, we obtained exact solutions of Einstein's field equations for plane symmetric cosmological models by assuming that thy admit conformal motion. The space-time geometry of these solutions is found to be nonsingular, non-vacuum…
Various models are under consideration with metric type flat FRW whose energy-momentum tensor is described by a perfect fluid whose generic equation state and taking into account the conservation principle, but considering some of the…
Fluid cosmologies are consistent with the generally accepted observational evidence during intermediate and late times, and they need not have singular behavior in primordial times. A general form for fluid cosmology consistent with…
In this manuscript we investigate the intrinsically flat (space-flat) spacetimes as viable cosmological models. We show that they have a natural geometric structure which is suitable to describe inhomogeneous matter distributions forming a…
In a cyclic entropy model in which the extroverse is jettisoned at turnaround with a Come Back Empty assumption, we address matching of the contraction scale factor $f(t_T)a(t)$ to the expansion scale factor $a(t)$, where $f(t_T)$ is the…
A particular class of flat Emergent Universe scenario is studied in light of recent observational data. Observationally permissible ranges of values are obtained for the model parameters. The class of model studied here can accommodate…
