Using an approximate solution to the $N$-body problem in general relativity, and the \emph{principle of local isotropy at any point}, we construct a cosmological model, with zero curvature, for a universe composed uniquely by collision-less…
A Friedmann--Robertson--Walker Universe is studied with a dark energy component represented by a quintessence field. The Lagrangian for this system, hereafter called the Friedmann--Robertson--Walker--quintessence (FRWq) system, is…
We consider brane Kantowski-Sachs Universe when bulk space is five-dimensional Anti-deSitter space. The corresponding cosmological equations with perfect fluid are written. For several specific choices of relation between energy and…
According to previous work, topological defects expand exponentially without an end if the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field is of the order of the Planck mass. We extend the study of inflating topological defects to the…
We develop a possible cosmology for a Universe with n additional spatial dimensions of variable scale, and an associated scalar field, the radion, which is distinct from the field responsible for inflation, the inflaton. Based on a…
We consider the general behaviour of cosmologies in Brans-Dicke theory where the dilaton is self-interacting via a potential $V(\Phi)$. We show that the general radiation universe is a two-dimensional dynamical system whereas the dust or…
In this paper we study a class of inhomogeneous cosmological models which is a modified version of what is usually called the Lema\^itre-Tolman model. We assume that we have a space with 2-dimensional locally homogeneous spacelike surfaces.…
It has been shown that the new Self Creation Cosmology theory predicts a universe with a total density parameter of one third yet spatially flat, which would appear to accelerate in its expansion. Although requiring a moderate amount of…
We consider the cosmological application of a (variant of) relatively newly proposed model \cite{1609.06915} unifying inflation, dark energy, dark matter, and the Higgs mechanism. The model was originally defined using additional…
We develop a stochastic formulation of cosmology in the early universe, after considering the scatter in the redshift-apparent magnitude diagram in the early epochs as an observational evidence for the non-deterministic evolution of early…
We present a coarse-grained field theory of density fluctuations for a Newtonian self-gravitating many-body system and apply it to a homogeneous Universe with small density fluctuations. The theory treats the clustering of galaxies and…
The implications of an Evolutionary Quantum Gravity are addressed in view of formulating a new dark matter candidate. We consider a Schr\"odinger dynamics for the gravitational field associated to a generic cosmological model and then we…
Is the universe finite or infinite, and what shape does it have? These fundamental questions, of which relatively little is known, are typically studied within the context of the standard model of cosmology where the universe is assumed to…
Following recent fit of supernovae data to Brans-Dicke theory which favours the model with $\omega = - 3/2$ \cite{fabris} we discuss the status of this special case of Brans-Dicke cosmology in both isotropic and anisotropic framework. It…
(abbreviated) We study quantized solutions of WdW equation describing a closed FRW universe with a $\Lambda $ term and a set of massless scalar fields. We show that when $\Lambda \ll 1$ in the natural units and the standard $in$-vacuum…
We review the relic density of dark matter in the non-standard cosmological scenarios which includes kination models, brane world cosmology and shear dominated universe. Then we use the Planck data to find constraints on the parameter…
We study a class of braneworlds where the cosmological evolution arises as the result of the movement of a three-brane in a five-dimensional static dilatonic bulk, with and without reflection symmetry. The resulting four-dimensional…
We argue that the quantized non-Abelian gauge theory can be obtained as the infrared limit of the corresponding classical gauge theory in a higher dimension. We show how the transformation from classical to quantum field theory emerges, and…
We investigate the thermodynamical properties of quantum fields in curved spacetime. Our approach is to consider quantum fields in curved spacetime as a quantum system undergoing an out-of-equilibrium transformation. The non-equilibrium…
Five-dimensional cosmological models with two 3-branes and with a buck cosmological constant are studied. It is found that for all the three cases ($\Lambda =0$, $\Lambda >0$, and $\Lambda <0$), the conventional space-time singularity ``big…
