Modern cosmological theory is based on the Friedmann--Robertson--Walker (FRW) metric. Often written in terms of co-moving coordinates, this well-known solution to Einstein's equations owes its elegant and highly practical formulation to the…
We investigate a cosmological model in which dark energy, represented by a quintessential scalar field, is coupled to a dark-matter perfect fluid in the spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Universe. This allows an energy exchange in…
We show that combinations of (in general, non-linear) 2- and 3-form fields analogous to the Maxwell (1-form) field, completely describe perfect fluids, including the rotating ones. In the non-rotating case, the 2-form field in sufficient,…

We study the classical and quantum models of a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmology, coupled to a perfect fluid, in the context of the $f(R)$ gravity. Using the Schutz' representation for the perfect fluid, we show that, under a…
Our current understanding of the Universe depends on the interplay of several distinct "matter" components, which interact mainly through gravity, and electromagnetic radiation. The nature of the different components, and possible…
In this communication, we analyze the case of 3+1 dimensional scalar field cosmologies in the presence, as well as in the absence of spatial curvature, in isotropic, as well as in anisotropic settings. Our results extend those of Hawkins…
The semi classical cosmology approximation for a Friedman Robertson Walker geometry coupled to a field is considered. A power series of the field with coefficients that depend on the radius of the geometry is proposed, and the equations for…
