Bouncing cosmologies are obtained by adding to the Einstein-Hilbert action a term of the form $\sqrt{-g}f(\chi)$, with $\chi$ a scalar depending on the Hubble parameter only, not on its derivatives, and which is here shown to arise from the…
Our conventional system of physical units is based on local or microscopic {\it dimensional} quantities which are {\it defined}, for convenience or otherwise aesthetic reasons, to be spacetime-independent. A more general choice of units may…
The Hamiltonian analysis for the Einstein's action in $ G\to 0 $ limit is performed. Considering the original configuration space without involve the usual $ADM$ variables we show that the version $ Gto 0 $ for Einstein's action is devoid…
In this talk I discuss models in which a homogeneous scalar field is used to modify standard cosmology above the nucleosynthesis scale to provide an explanation for the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe.
We follow up on our previous works which presented a possible approach for deriving symplectic schemes for a certain class of highly oscillatory Hamiltonian systems. The approach considers the Hamilton-Jacobi form of the equations of…
We show that the combined minimal and non minimal interaction with the gravitational field may produce the generation of a cosmological constant without self-interaction of the scalar field. In the same vein we analyze the existence of…
We study Einstein's equations with an isotropic but inhomogeneous metric in the cosmic rest frame. The equations are solved perturbatively in the late Universe. The leading plus next-to-leading order results agree with observations without…
We study cosmological solutions in the low-energy effective heterotic string theory, which is the Einstein gravity with Gauss-Bonnet term and the dilaton. We show that the field equations are cast into an autonomous system for flat internal…
We derive new representations of the Einstein-Hilbert action in which graviton perturbation theory is immensely simplified. To accomplish this, we recast the Einstein-Hilbert action as a theory of purely cubic interactions among gravitons…
A new noncommutative spacetime of structure $ {\cal M}^4 \times Z_2 \times Z_2$ is proposed. The generalized Hilbert-Einstein action contains gravity, all known interactions and Higgs field. This theory can also provide a unified geometric…
The separate-universe approach provides an effective description of cosmological perturbations at large scales, where the universe can be described by an ensemble of independent, locally homogeneous and isotropic patches. By reducing the…
Recently, inhomogeneous generalisations of the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker cosmological models have gained interest in the astrophysical community and are more often employed to study cosmological phenomena. However, in many papers…
We provide a simple discussion of our results on the backreaction effects of density inhomogeneities in cosmology, without mentioning one-parameter families or weak limits. Emphasis is placed on the manner in which "averaging" is done and…
We investigate the dynamics of Einstein equations in the vicinity of the two recently described types of singularity of anisotropic and homogeneous cosmological models described by the action $$ S=\int d^4x \sqrt{-g}{F(\phi)R -…
How much of modern cosmology is really cosmography? How much of modern cosmology is independent of the Einstein equations? (Independent of the Friedmann equations?) These questions are becoming increasingly germane -- as the models…
Mathematical models describing the cosmological evolution of classical and phantom scalar fields with self-action are formulated and analyzed. Systems of dynamical equations in the plane, describing homogeneous cosmological models, have…
The method of obtaining of Vlasov-type equations for systems of interacting massive charged particles from the general relativistic Einstein-Hilbert action is considered. An effective approach to synchronizing the proper times of various…
Some spatially homogeneous Bianchi type I cosmological models filled with homogeneous ``electric'' $p$-form fields are shown to mimic the never-ending oscillatory behaviour of generic string cosmologies established recently. The validity of…
We modify the scalar Einstein-aether theory by breaking the Lorentz invariance of a gravitational theory coupled to a Galileon type scalar field. This is done by introducing a Lagrange multiplier term into the action, thus ensuring that the…
We consider the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmologies of theories of gravity that generalise the Einstein-Hilbert action by replacing the Ricci scalar, R, with some function, f(R). The general asymptotic behaviour of these cosmologies is…
