The intention of our paper is to provide a pedagogical application of geometric algebra to a particularly well-investigated system: We formulate the geometric and dynamical properties of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetimes within the…

We analyze the dynamics of a single scalar field in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universes with spatial curvature. We obtain the fixed point solutions which are shown to be late time attractors. In particular, we determine the corresponding…

A novel idea that the cosmic acceleration can be understood from the perspective that spacetime dynamics is an emergent phenomena was proposed by T. Padmanabhan. The Friedmann equations of FRW universe can be derived from different gravity…

In this work, we analyze the cosmological model in which the expansion is driven by a classical, free Klein-Gordon field on a flat, four-dimensional Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker spacetime. The model allows for arbitrary mass,…

We describe energy--momentum conservation in relativistic perturbation theory in general FRW backgrounds with causal source terms, such as the presence of cosmic defect networks. We provide a prescription for a linear energy--momentum…

We consider the problem of the nature and possible types of spacetime singularities that can form during the evolution of \emph{FRW} universes in general relativity. We show that by using, in addition to the Hubble expansion rate and the…

Here we prove a global existence theorem for sufficiently small however fully nonlinear perturbations of a family of background solutions of the $`n+1$' vacuum Einstein equations in the presence of a positive cosmological constant…

We study constant mean curvature spacelike hypersurfaces in generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes which are spatially parabolic covered (i.e. its fiber F is a (non- compact) complete Riemannian manifold whose universal covering is…

We study a new approach to generally covariant quantum mechanics applied in the case of an FLRW cosmological background. For positive spatial curvature we find a discrete series of solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation that can reasonably…

We obtain analytic formulae for the null geodesics of Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre-Robertson-Walker spacetimes with scalar perturbations in the longitudinal gauge. We use these to provide a rigorous derivation of the cosmological lens equation.…

We construct a piecewise model that gives a physical viable realization of finite-time future singularity for a spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe within the interacting dark matter--dark energy framework, with the latter…

There are now evidences that the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ has a non-zero positive value. Alternative scenarios to a pure cosmological constant model are provided by quintessence, an effective negative pressure fluid permeating the…
