We consider general black hole solutions in five-dimensional spacetime in the presence of a negative cosmological constant. We obtain a cosmological evolution via the gravity/gauge theory duality (holography) by defining appropriate…
We consider the ADM formalism as a tool to build bouncing cosmologies. In this approach, the foliation of the spacetime has to be fixed in order to go beyond General Relativity modifying the gravitational sector. Once a preferred slicing,…
We consider a $D$-dimensional cosmological model with a dilaton field and two $(D-d-1)$-form field strengths which have nonvanishing fluxes in extra dimensions. Exact solutions for the model with a certain set of couplings are obtained by…
This paper presents a new perspective on unifying all fundamental interactions--gravitational, electromagnetic, weak and strong--based on stochastic processes rather than conventional quantum mechanics. Earlier work by Nelson, Kac and…
The standard model of elementary particle physics and the theory of general relativity can be extended by the introduction of a vacuum variable which is responsible for the near vanishing of the present cosmological constant (vacuum energy…
We derive the scalar-tensor Hamiltonian constraint to all orders of momenta when the canonical constraint algebra is deformed by a phase space function as predicted by some studies into loop quantum cosmology. We find that the momenta and…
An idea of the universe as a self-contained system of interacting fields as a closed doublon network is developed. The characteristic scale of this system is considered emergent from general principles. Self similarity of patterns in the…
The main purpose of this paper is to advance a unified theory of dark matter, dark energy, and inflation first formulated in 2008. Our minimal affine extension of the GR has geodesics coinciding with the pseudo Riemannian ones, up to…
The problem of dark energy can be roughly stated as the proposition and validation of a cosmological model that can explain the phenomenon of the accelerated expansion of the Universe. This problem is an open discussion topic in modern…
Unimodular quantum cosmology admits wavepacket solutions that evolve according to a kind of Schr\"odinger equation. Though this theory is equivalent to general relativity on the classical level, its canonical structure is different and the…
We establish a correspondence between a conformally invariant complex scalar field action (with a conformal self-interaction potential) and the action of a phantom scalar field minimally coupled to gravity (with a cosmological constant). In…
In linearized quantum gravity, a shift of the average energy-momentum can be compensated by a shift of the average gravitational field. This allows a renormalization scheme that naturally removes the contribution of quantum vacuum…
We briefly discuss new models of an `affine' theory of gravity in multidimensional space-times with symmetric connections. We use and generalize Einstein's proposal to specify the space-time geometry by use of the Hamilton principle to…
We investigate quantum cosmological models in an n-dimensional anisotropic universe in the presence of a massless scalar field. Our basic inspiration comes from Chodos and Detweiler's classical model which predicts an interesting behaviour…
Regular bouncing solutions in the framework of a scalar-tensor gravity model were found in a recent work. We reconsider the problem in the Einstein frame (EF) in the present work. Singularities arising at the limit of physical viability of…
The Einstein equations for a plane-symmetric gravitational field coupled to an arbitrary nonlinear sigma model (NSM) are shown to be represented in the form of dynamical equations of a {\it generalized effective NSM}. The gravitational…
We consider quintessence scalar field cosmology in which the Lagrangian of the scalar field is modified by the Generalized Uncertainty Principle. We show that the perturbation terms which arise from the deformed algebra are equivalent with…
We implement the method developed in [1] to construct the most general parametrised action for linear cosmological perturbations of bimetric theories of gravity. Specifically, we consider perturbations around a homogeneous and isotropic…
We present solution generating techniques which permit to construct exact inhomogeneous and anisotropic cosmological solutions to a four-dimensional low energy limit of string theory containing non-minimally interacting electromagnetic and…
General relativity can be cast as a gauge theory by introducing a tetrad field and a spin-connection. This formalism was extended by replacing the tetrad field with a mixed tensor field independent of the metric tensor in order to develop a…
