The computational analysis of the Cauchy problem for semi-linear Klein-Gordon equations in the de Sitter spacetime is considered. Several simulations are performed to show the time-global behaviors of the solutions of the equations in the…
We review Cantorian and Non Commutative Spacetime, work which has occupied El Naschie in the past several years. These concepts are now the subject of intense research, thanks to Quantum Gravity, Quantum Super String Theory and a few other…
A free scalar field minimally coupled to gravity model is quantized and the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in minisuperspace is solved analytically, exhibiting positive and negative frequency modes. The analysis is performed for positive, negative…
In this work, in the context of modified gravity, a curved spacetime analogous to the "canonical acoustic black hole" is constructed. The source is a self-interacting scalar field which is non-minimally coupled to gravity through the…
Is there a number for every bit of spacetime, or is spacetime smooth like the real line? The ultimate fate of a quantum theory of gravity might depend on it. The troublesome infinities of quantum gravity can be cured by assuming that…
The existence of time machines, understood as spacetime constructions exhibiting physically realised closed timelike curves (CTCs), would raise fundamental problems with causality and challenge our current understanding of classical and…
This article contains a local solution to the notorious Problem of Time in Quantum Gravity at the conceptual level and which is actually realizable for the relational triangle. The Problem of Time is that `time' in GR and `time' in ordinary…
This article is a guide to the literature on existence theorems for the Einstein equations which also draws attention to open problems in the field. The local in time Cauchy problem, which is relatively well understood, is treated first.…
Since the solution of the so-called folk problems of smoothability, there has been a special interest in the properties of classical time and volume functions of spacetimes. Here we supply some information that complements the one provided…
It is shown that there are nonlinear sigma models which are Darboux integrable and possess a solvable Vessiot group in addition to those whose Vessiot groups are central extensions of semi-simple Lie groups. They govern harmonic maps…
We construct a duality between several simple physical systems by showing that they are different aspects of the same quantum theory. Examples include the free relativistic massless particle and the hydrogen atom in any number of…
This paper studies a Boltzmann-Nordheim equation in a slab with two-dimensional velocity space and pseudo-Maxwellian forces. Strong solutions are obtained for the Cauchy problem with large initial data in an $ L^1 \cap L^{\infty} $ setting.…
The improved dynamics of loop quantum cosmology is extended to include the Bianchi type II model. Because these space-times admit both anisotropies and non-zero spatial curvature, certain technical difficulties arise over and above those…
A solution of the sourceless Einstein's equation with an infinite value for the cosmological constant \Lambda is discussed by using Inonu-Wigner contractions of the de Sitter groups and spaces. When \Lambda --> infinity, spacetime becomes a…
A space consisting of two rapidly moving cosmic strings has recently been constructed by Gott that contains closed timelike curves. The global structure of this space is analysed and is found that, away from the strings, the space is…
The geometry of two infinitely long lines of mass moving in a fixed circular orbit is considered as a toy model for the inspiral of a binary system of compact objects due to gravitational radiation. The two Killing fields in the toy model…
The structure of spacetime duality and discrete worldsheet symmetries of compactified string theory is examined within the framework of noncommutative geometry. The full noncommutative string spacetime is constructed using the…
In this article, we present a gravitational collapse null dust solution of the Einstein field equations. The spacetime is regular everywhere except on the symmetry axis where it possesses a naked curvature singularity, and admits one…
This paper establishes novel bounds for Gowdy-symmetric Einstein-Euler spacetimes and completes the analysis, initiated by LeFloch and Rendall, of the global areal foliation for these spacetimes. We thus consider the initial value problem…
We study time-dependent compactification of extra dimensions. We assume that the spacetime is spatially homogeneous, and solve the vacuum Einstein equations without cosmological constant in more than three dimensions. We consider globally…
