The formation of black holes or naked singularities is studied in a model in which a homogeneous time-dependent scalar field with an exponential potential couples to four dimensional gravity with negative cosmological constant. An analytic…
It is well-known that small, regular, spherically symmetric characteristic initial data to the Einstein-scalar-field system which are decaying towards (future null) infinity give rise to solutions which are foward-in-time global (in the…
Self-consistent account of the most simple non-gauge vector fields leads to a broad spectrum of regular scenarios of temporal evolution of the Universe completely within the frames of the Einstein's General relativity. The longitudinal…
We find and analyse solutions of Einstein's equations in arbitrary d dimensions and in the presence of a scalar field with a Liouville potential coupled to a Maxwell field. We consider spacetimes of cylindrical symmetry or again subspaces…

We enlarge the set of explicit classical solutions to the Liouville equation with three singularities to the cases with mixed hyperbolic and elliptic monodromies. We analyze the large hyperbolic monodromy limit of the solutions and the…
We solve Einstein's equation with Robertson-Walker metric as an initial-value problem, using as the source of gravity a Halpern-Huang real scalar field, which was derived from renormalization-group analysis, with a potential that exhibits…
We study a quantum Hot Big Bang in the connection representation, with a matter constant of motion m whose conjugate defines time. Superpositions in m induce a unitary inner product. The wavefunction reveals a resolution of the singularity…
The cosmological term is assumed to be a function of time such as $\Lambda =Ba^{-2}$ where a(t) means the scale factor of standard cosmology. Analytical solutions for radiation dominated epoch and open universe are found. For closed…
We discuss cosmological models for an eternal universe. Physical observables show no singularity from the infinite past to the infinite future. While the universe is evolving, there is no beginning and no end - the universe exists forever.…
We establish the global existence and precise estimates of a class of singularity-free cosmological solutions in nonlinear Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (ESGB) gravity with quadratic coupling, in close agreement with previous numerical…
We consider recently proposed bouncing cosmological models for which the Hubble parameter is periodic in time, but the scale factor grows from one cycle to the next as a mechanism for shedding entropy. Since the scale factor for a flat…
A scalar-tensor theory of gravity is formulated in which $G$ and particle masses are allowed to vary. The theory yields a globally static cosmological model with no evolutionary timescales, no cosmological coincidences, and no flatness and…
We study the homogeneous but anisotropic cosmological models of Bianchi in presence of a massive scalar field using the ADM Hamiltonian formalism. We begin to describe the main steps to find the ADM Hamiltonian of the General Relativity…
