Bianchi Cosmologies with Particle Creation and Bulk Viscosity

In the context of open thermodynamic systems, we study in this paper the evolution of Bianchi cosmologies with time-dependent bulk viscosity and particle production. The possibility of an initial non-singularity occurs with a suitable choice of parameters as seen in the case of FRW models [Desikan, K. (1997). Gen. Rel. Grav. 29, 435.].     

Letter: Self-Similar Bianchi Type VIII and IX Models

It is shown that in transitively self-similar spatially homogeneous tilted perfect fluid models the symmetry vector is not normal to the surfaces of spatial homogeneity. A direct consequence of this result is that there are no self-similar Bianchi VIII and IX tilted perfect fluid models. Furthermore the most general Bianchi VIII and IX spacetime which admits a four dimensional group of homotheties is given.     

Bianchi Type-I Universe with wet dark fluid

The Bianchi Type-I Universe filled with dark energy from a wet dark fluid has been considered. A new equation of state for the dark energy component of the Universe has been used. It is modeled on the equation of state p = γ(ρ − ρ*) which can describe a liquid, for example water. The exact solutions to the corresponding field equations are obtained in quadrature form. The solution for constant deceleration parameter have been studied in detail for both power-law and exponential forms. The cases γ = 1 and γ = 0 have also been analysed.      

Bianchi Type I String Dust Magnetized Cosmological Models in Lyra Geometry

Bianchi type I string dust cosmological models in the presence and absence of magnetic field in the frame work of Lyra geometry are investigated. To get the deterministic model of the universe, we assume that the eigenvalue （σ^11） of shear tensor （σ^ii） is proportional to expansion （θ）. This leads to A = （BC）^n, where A, B, C are metric potentials and n is a constant. To discuss the results in terms of cosmic time t, we have considered n = 1. The physical and geometrical aspects＇ of the models and singularities in the models are also discussed.     

Bianchi Type I String Dust Magnetized Cosmological Models in Lyra Geometry

Bianchi type I string dust cosmological models in the presence and absence of magnetic field in the frame work of Lyra geometry are investigated. To get the deterministic model of the universe, we assume that the eigenvalue (σ₁¹ ) of shear tensor (σ_i ^j ) is proportional to expansion (θ ). This leads to A =(BC)ⁿ, where A, B, C are metric potentials and n is a constant. To discuss the results in terms of cosmic time t, we have considered n = 1. The physical and geometrical aspects of the models and singularities in the models are also discussed.     

Bianchi Type V Universe Models with Specific Expansion Anisotropy

We investigate Bianchi type V cosmological models for perfect fluid source with time varying cosmological term Λ. We examine the possibility of cosmological models assuming the expansion anisotropy (the ratio σ/θ of the shear scalar σ to the volume expansion θ) to be a function of average scale factor R. The resulting models begin with initial anisotropy and approach isotropy at late times. Our models present an initial epoch with decelerating expansion followed by late time acceleration consistent with observations.     

Tachyonic Dark Matter

Recent attempts to explain the dark matter and energy content of the universe have involved some radical extensions of standard physics, including quintessence, phantom energy, additional space dimensions, and variations in the speed of light. In this paper I consider the possibility that some dark matter might be in the form of tachyons. I show that, subject to some reasonable assumptions, a tachyonic cosmological fluid would produce distinctive effects, such as a surge in quantum vacuum energy and particle creation, and a change in the conventional temperature–time relation for the normal cosmological material. Possible observational consequences are discussed.     

Cosmological Relics of the High Energy Cold Dark Matter Particle in the Universe

We demonstrate that if the universe is dominated by the massive cold dark matter, then besides the generally believed thermal distribution of the dark matter relics, there may exist some very energetic nonthermal relics of the dark matter particles in the universe from some unknown sources, such as from decay of supermassive X particle released from topological defect collapse or annihilation. Very interesting, we point out that these high energy dark matter particles may be observable in the current and future cosmic ray experiments.     

Some Bianchi Type III String Cosmological Models with Bulk Viscosity

We investigate the integrability of cosmic strings in Bianchi III space-time in presence of a bulk viscous fluid by applying a new technique. The behavior of the model is reduced to the solution of a single second order nonlinear differential equation. We show that this equation admits an infinite family of solutions. Some physical consequences from these results are also discussed.     

Bianchi Type Ⅲ String Cosmological Model with Bulk Viscosity

The Bianchi type Ⅲ cosmological model for a cloud string with bulk viscosity are presented. To obtain a determinate model, an equation of state ρ=kλ and a relation between metric potentials B = C^n are assumed. The physical and geometric aspects of the model are also discussed. The model describes a shearing non-rotating continuously expanding universe with a big-bang start, and the relation between the coefficient of bulk viscosity and the energy density is ζ∝ρ^1/2.     

Mixmaster Universe Models with Matter in Jordan-Brans-Dicke Theory

We discuss the dynamics of anisotropic Bianchitype IX models in Jordan-Brans-Dicke cosmological theoryrendering the evolution of a universe model with closedspace near its beginning before inflation sets in. This paper displays how, when writtenin terms of reduced variables, the field equations allowstraightforward partial integration. The mean expansionH, the scalar field, and the three scale factors aregiven in terms of the volume expansion.     

Bianchi Type V Cosmological Models with Constant Deceleration Parameter in General Relativity

We investigate Bianchi type V cosmological models with bulk viscous fluid source. Exact solutions of the Einstein field equations are presented via a suitable power law assumption for the Hubble parameter. We show that the corresponding solutions retain the well established features of the standard cosmology and in addition, are in accordance with recent type Ia supernovae observations. Some observational parameters for the models have also been discussed.     

Late Time Isotropy Viewed Through Bianchi Type I Cosmological Models with Vacuum Energy

We investigate Bianchi type I cosmological models for perfect fluid source with time-dependent cosmological term Λ. We explore the possibility of cosmological models assuming the expansion anisotropy (the ratio σ/θ of the shear scalar σ to the volume expansion θ) to be a function of average scale factor R. The resulting models begin with initial anisotropy and approach isotropy at late times. The models evolve with decelerating expansion and enters into accelerating phase for large values of t.     

Generalised Scalar-tensor Theory in the Bianchi Type I Model

We use a conformal transformation to find solutions to the generalised scalar-tensor theory, with a coupling constant dependent on a scalar field, in an empty Bianchi type I model. We describe the dynamical behaviour of the metric functions for three different couplings: two exact solutions to the field equations and a qualitative one are found. They exhibit non-singular behaviours and kinetic inflation. Two of them admit both General Relativity and string theory in the low-energy limit as asymptotic cases.     

Plane Symmetric Viscous Fluid Cosmological Models with Varying <Emphasis Type="Italic">Λ</Emphasis>-Term

Plane symmetric viscous fluid cosmological models of the universe with a variable cosmological term are investigated. The viscosity coefficient of bulk viscous fluid is assumed to be a power function of mass density whereas the coefficient of shear viscosity is to be proportional to rate of expansion in the model. We have also obtained a special model in which the shear viscosity is assumed to be zero. The cosmological constant Λ is found to be a decreasing function of time and a positive which is supported by results from recent supernovae Ia observations. Some physical and geometric properties of the models are also discussed.     

Brans-Dicke Cosmology–A Generalization in Anisotropic Space-Time Models

The generalized Brans-Dicke (BD) Cosmology has been studied for Bianchi-I, Bianchi-III and Kantowski-Sachs anisotropic space-time models. Solutions have been obtained for radiation-dominated era, stiff matter epoch and other equations of state.     

Quantum Creation of Closed Universe with Both Effects of Tunnelling and Well

A new “twice loose shoe“ method in the Wheeler-DeWitt equation of the universe wavefunction on the cosmic scale factor a and a scalar field φ is suggested,We analyze both the affections coming from the tunnelling effect of α and the potential well effect of φ,and obtain the initial values α0 about a primary closed universe which is born with the largest probability in the quantum manner,Our result is able to overcome the “large field difficulty“ of the universe quantum creation probabiltiy with only tunnelling effect.This new born universe has to suffer a startup of inflation,and then comes into the usual slow rolling inflation.The universe with the largest probalility maybe has a “gentle“ inflation of an eternal chaotic infltion.this depends on a new parameter q which describes the tunnelling character.     

Matter Effects on Neutrino Oscillations in Different Supernova Models

In recent years,with the development of simulations about supernova explosion,we have a better understanding about the density profiles and the shock waves in supernovae than before.There might be a reverse shock wave,another sudden change of density except the forward shock wave,or even no shock wave,emerging in the supernova.Instead of using the expression of the crossing probability at the high resonance,PH,we have studied the matter effects on neutrino oscillations in different supernova models.In detail,we have calculated the survival probability of νe(P_s)and the conversion probability of ν_x(P_c) in the Schrodinger equation within a simplified two-flavor framework for a certain case,in which the neutrino transfers through the supernova matter from an initial flavor eigenstate located at the core of the supernova.Our calculations was based on the data of density in three different supernova models obtained from simulations.In our work,we do not steepen the density gradient around the border of the shock wave,which differs to what was done in most of the other simulations.It is found that the mass and the density distribution of the supernova do make a difference on the behavior of P_s and P_c.With the results of P_s and P_c,we can estimate the number of νe(and ν_x) remained in the beam after they go through the matter in the supernova.     

Interacting Spinor and Scalar Fields in Bianchi Type I Universe Filled with Perfect Fluid: Exact Self-Consistent Solutions

In the framework of Bianchi I (BI) cosmological models a self-consistent system of interacting spinor and scalar fields has been considered. We introduced an interaction function F(I, J) which is an arbitrary function of invariants I and J, generated from the real bilinear forms of the spinor field. Exact self-consistent solutions to the field equations have been obtained for the cosmological model filled with perfect fluid. The initial and the asymptotic behavior of the field functions and of the metric one has been thoroughly studied.
