A new class of Inhomogeneous string cosmological models in general relativity

A new class of solutions of Einstein field equations has been investigated for inhomogeneous cylindrically symmetric space-time with string source. To get the deterministic solution, it has been assumed that the expansion ($\theta$) in the model is proportional to the eigen value $\sigma^{1}_{1}$ of the shear tensor $\sigma^{i}_{j}$. Certain physical and geometric properties of the models are also discussed.

Bianchi Type-I Massive String Magnetized Barotropic PerfectFluid Cosmological Model in General Relativity

Bianchi type-I massive string cosmological model with magnetic field ofbarotropic perfect fluid distribution through the techniques used byLatelier and Stachel is investigated. To obtain the deterministic modelof the universe, it is assumed that the universe is filled withbarotropic perfect fluid distribution. The magnetic field is due toelectric current produced along the x-axis with infinite electricalconductivity. The behaviour of the model in the presence and absence ofmagnetic field together with other physical aspects is furtherdiscussed.

Cosmological dynamics and dark energy with a quadratic equation of state: Anisotropic models, large-scale perturbations, and cosmological singularities

In general relativity, for fluids with a linear equation of state (EoS) or scalar fields, the high isotropy of the universe requires special initial conditions, and singularities are anisotropic in general. In the brane world scenario anisotropy at the singularity is suppressed by an effective quadratic equation of state. There is no reason why the effective EoS of matter should be linear at the highest energies, and a non-linear EoS may describe dark energy or unified dark matter (Paper I, astro-ph/0512224). In view of this, here we study the effects of a quadratic EoS in homogenous and inhomogeneous cosmological models in general relativity, in order to understand if in this context the quadratic EoS can isotropize the universe at early times. With respect to Paper I, here we use the simplified EoS P=alpha rho + rho^2/rho_c, which still allows for an effective cosmological constant and phantom behavior, and is general enough to analyze the dynamics at high energies. We first study anisotropic Bianchi I and V models, focusing on singularities. Using dynamical systems methods, we find the fixed points of the system and study their stability. We find that models with standard non-phantom behavior are in general asymptotic in the past to an isotropic fixed point IS, i.e. in these models even an arbitrarily large anisotropy is suppressed in the past: the singularity is matter dominated. Using covariant and gauge invariant variables, we then study linear perturbations about the homogenous and isotropic spatially flat models with a quadratic EoS. We find that, in the large scale limit, all perturbations decay asymptotically in the past, indicating that the isotropic fixed point IS is the general asymptotic past attractor for non phantom inhomogeneous models with a quadratic EoS.

Bianchi Type I Magnetized String Cosmological Model in General Relativity

Bianchi Type I magnetized string cosmological model following the techniques used by Letelier and Stachel, is investigated. To get a determinate model, we assume a condition ∊ = λ (geometric string) where ∊ is the rest energy density, λ the string tension density and expansion (θ) is proportional to eigen value σ11 of shear tensor (σ ji), which leads to A = l (BC)n where A, B, C are metric potentials and l and n are constants. The behaviour of the model in presence and absence of magnetic field is discussed. The physical and geometrical aspects of the model are also discussed.

Bianchi Type-V Bulk Viscous Fluid String Dust Cosmological Model In General Relativity

Bianchi Type-V bulk viscous fluid string dust cosmological model in General Relativity is investigated. It has been shown that if coefficient of bulk viscosity (ζ) is inversely proportional to the expansion (θ) in the model then string cosmological model for Bianchi Type-V space-time is possible. In absence of bulk viscosity (ζ), i.e. when ζ → 0, then there is no string cosmological model for Bianchi Type-V space-time. The physical and geometrical aspects of the model are also discussed.

Bianchi Type-IX viscous fluid cosmological model in general relativity

To get a deterministic model, we have assumed the conditiona = b m(m is a constant) between metric potentials andη ∞θ whereη is the coefficient of shear viscosity andθ the scalar of expansion in the model. The coefficient of bulk viscosity (ς) is taken as constant. The physical and geometrical aspects of the model are also discussed.

Expansion, geometry, and gravity

In general-relativistic cosmological models, the expansion history, matter content, andgeometry are closely intertwined. In this brief paper, we clarify the distinction between theeffects of geometry and expansion history on the luminosity distance. We show thatthe cubic correction to the Hubble law, measured recently with high-redshiftsupernovae, is the first cosmological measurement, apart from the cosmic microwavebackground, that probes directly the effects of spatial curvature. We illustratethe distinction between geometry and expansion with a toy model for which thesupernova results already indicate a curvature radius larger than the Hubble distance.

Cosmological models in general relativity

LRS Bianchi type-I space-time filled with perfect fluid is considered here with deceleration parameter as variable. The metric potentialsA andB are functions of x as well as t. Assuming B′/B = f (x), where prime denotes differentiation with respect to x, it was found thatA = (l′/l)B andB = lS(t), wherel = f (x) andS is the scale factor which is a function of t only. The value of Hubble’s constantH 0 was found to be less than half for non-flat model and is equal to 1.3 for a flat model

In this paper we have investigated the effect of magnetic field on an orthogonal Bianchi type-I inflationary cosmological model using the concept of Higgs field.

Generalized Expanding and Shearing Anisotropic Bianchi Type I Magnetofluid Cosmological Model in General Relativity

The behaviour of magnetic field in anisotropic Bianchi type I cosmological model for perfect fluid distribution in General Relativity, is investigated. The distribution consists of an electrically neutral perfect fluid with an infinite electrical conductivity. It is assumed that the component σ11 of shear tensor σji is proportional to the expansion (θ) which leads to A = (BC)n. The other physical and geometrical aspects of the model are also discussed, Bali (1986) obtained the cosmological model for n = 1 in presence of magnetic field. We have investigated the model for general values of n and discussed the particular case and general behaviour of the model.

Background Radiation Constraints on Supersymmetric Weakly Interacting Particles

Dark matter particles that annihilate each other or decay with long lifetimes can be constrained by data in various wavebands. Here we apply this method to supersymmetric weakly interacting massive particles (10-1000 GeV neutralinos and gravitinos) by using observations of the diffuse X-ray and γ-ray backgrounds. Our work treats these predicted lightest supersymmetric particles as cold dark matter that clumps into galaxy halos and affects the intensity of the background radiation in a way that can be calculated using exact general relativistic cosmological models. We are able to set firm lower bounds on the decay lifetimes of neutralinos and gravitinos. These are of orders 1-106 Gyr and 10-100 Gyr, respectively, depending on rest mass. Unlike decaying vacua and eV-scale neutrinos and axions (which we have constrained elsewhere by similar methods), our results imply that weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are viable dark matter candidates.

Some Viscous Fluid Cosmological Models in General Relativity

The motivation of this paper is to investigate two viscous fluid cosmological models in General Relativity in which the expansion is only in two directions i.e. one of the Hubble parameters $$(H_1 = \frac{{A_4 }}{A})$$ is zero. In the first model, coefficient of shear viscosity is assumed to be constant while in the second model, the coefficient of shear viscosity is proportional to the rate of expansion in the model. Here no additional condition is assumed except for coefficient of shear viscosity. These models are new and different from those models obtained by Bali and Jain (1987, 1988) in which free gravitational field was assumed to be Petrov Type D and non-degenerate for Marder (1958) metric and coefficient of shear viscosity is proportional to the rate of expansion in the model. The various physical and geometrical aspects of the models are also discussed.
