It is shown that spatially flat, isotropic cosmologies derived from the Brans--Dicke gravity action exhibit a scale factor duality invariance. This classical duality is then associated with a hidden $N=2$ supersymmetry at the quantum level…

Globally hyperbolic spacetimes endowed with a time function $t$ whose spacelike slices $t=t_0$ have constant curvature $k(t_0)$ and where the sign of $k(t_0)$ (as well as the topology of the slice) varies with $t_0$, can be constructed…
