We explore aspects of the physics of de Sitter (dS) space that are relevant to holography with a positive cosmological constant. First we display a nonlocal map that commutes with the de Sitter isometries, transforms the bulk-boundary…
We have investigated the cosmological scenarios with a four dimensional effective action which is connected with multidimensional, supergravity and string theories. The solution for the scale factor is such that initially universe undergoes…
We consider here the dynamics of some homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models with $N$ interacting classical scalar fields non-minimally coupled to the spacetime curvature, as an attempt to generalize some recent results obtained for…
We examine a spherically-symmetric class of spacetimes carrying vacuum energy, while considering the influence of an external dark energy environment represented by a non-dynamical quintessence field. Our investigation focuses on a specific…
In a wide class of cosmological models, a positive cosmological constant drives cosmological evolution toward an asymptotically de Sitter phase. Here we connect this behavior to the increase of entropy over time, based on the idea that de…
In this paper we investigate asymptotic isotropization. We derive the asymptotic dynamics of spatially inhomogeneous cosmological models with a perfect fluid matter source and a positive cosmological constant near the de Sitter equilibrium…
We study the evolution of massless scalar waves propagating on spherically symmetric spacetimes with a non-zero cosmological constant. Considering test fields on both Schwarzschild-de Sitter and Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter backgrounds, we…
We study the static patch of de Sitter space in the presence of a timelike boundary. We impose that the conformal class of the induced metric and the trace of the extrinsic curvature, $K$, are fixed at the boundary. We present the…
Solution generating techniques for general relativity with a conformally (and minimally) coupled scalar field are pushed forward to build a wide class of asymptotically flat, axisymmetric and stationary spacetimes continuously connected to…
This paper studies the spatially homogeneous Einstein-de Sitter cosmological model in the context of a relativistic hierarchical (fractal) cosmology as developed in paper I (0807.0866). The Einstein-de Sitter model is treated as a special…
We investigate solutions $(\mathcal{M}, g)$ to Einstein's vacuum field equations with positive cosmological constant $\Lambda$ which admit a smooth past null infinity $\mathcal{J}^-$ \`a la Penrose and a Killing vector field whose…
We show the stability of Kerr-de Sitter black holes, in the full subextremal range, as solutions of the vacuum Einstein equation with a positive cosmological constant under the assumption that mode stability holds for these spacetimes. The…
We give a new proof of the recent result by Fournodavlos-Schlue on the nonlinear stability of the expanding region of Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes as solutions of the Einstein vacuum equations with positive cosmological constant. Our gauge is…
It is known that quantum field theories in curved spacetime suffer from a number of pathologies, including the inability to relate states on different spatial slices by proper unitary time-evolution operators. In this article, we illustrate…
Many different forms of the de Sitter metric in different coordinate systems are used in the general relativity literature. Two of them are the most common, the static form and the cosmological (exponentially expanding) form. The staticity…
The Kerr-Schild (KS) geometry is linked tightly with the auxiliary \emph{flat} Minkowski background. Nevertheless, it describes many curved space-times and the related physical models, starting from cosmology and black holes to the…
The de Sitter spacetime is a maximally symmetric spacetime. It is one of the vacuum solutions to Einstein equations with a cosmological constant. It is the solution with a positive cosmological constant and describes a universe undergoing…
We review the most general scalar-tensor cosmological models with up to second-order derivatives in the field equations that have a fixed spatially flat de Sitter critical point independent of the material content or vacuum energy. This…
It is now widely accepted that the universe as we understand it is accelerating in expansion and fits the de Sitter model rather well. As such, a realistic assumption of black holes must place them on a de Sitter background and not…
Building upon the work of Brendle, Marques and Neves on the construction of counterexamples to Min-Oo's conjecture, we exhibit deformations of the de Sitter-Schwarzschild space of dimension $n\geq 3$ satisfying the dominant energy condition…
