Affine Gravity

A modified version of the Einstein theory of gravity is proposed in which the constant G is dynamical, that is dependent on the energy stress tensor. This permits one to obtain a model in which the Planck's energy density is unbounded, meaning that gravity never reaches the condition ρ>ρ P . This permits one to separate the affine description from the quantum one, which has recently been observed not to be completely compatible. We describe moreover how this can bring us to violate the strong energy condition so as to avoid the constraints of singularity theorems.

AbstractIt is shown that the Lorentz structure of a compact prespace- time M can be so chosen such that M can not satisfy the strong energy condition. Thus, combining both the causal and the strong energy conditions, a stronger case against the compact space-times as proper arenas of physics can be made.

We use (4+1) split to derive the 4D induced energy density ρ and pressure p of the 5D Ricci-flat cosmological solutions which are characterized by having a bounce instead of a bang. The solutions contain two arbitrary functions of time t and, therefore, are mathematically rich in giving various cosmological models. By using four known energy conditions (null, weak, strong, and dominant) to pick out and study physically meaningful solutions, we find that the 4D part of the 5D solutions asymptotically approaches to the standard 4D FRW models and the expansion of the universe is decelerating for normal induced matter for which all the four energy conditions are satisfied. We also find that quintessence might be normal or abnormal, depending on the parameter w of the equation of state. If -1 ≤ w < -1/3, the expansion of the universe is accelerating and the quintessence is abnormal because the strong energy condition is violated while other three are satisfied. For phantom, all the four energy conditions are violated. Before the bounce, all the four energy conditions are violated, implying that the cosmic matter before the bounce could be explained as a phantom that has a large negative pressure and makes the universe bouncing. In the early times after the bounce, the dominant energy condition is violated, while the other three are satisfied, and so the cosmic matter could be explained as a super-luminal acoustic matter.

In this paper, the RS-II model of brane gravity is considered for the phantom universe using a nonlinear equation of state. Phantom fluid is known to violate the weak energy condition. It is found that this characteristic of phantom energy is affected drastically by the negative brane tension λ of the RS-II model. It is interesting to see that up to a certain value of energy density ρ satisfying ρ/λ < 1, the weak energy condition is violated and the universe superaccelerates. But, as ρ increases more, only the strong energy condition is violated and the universe accelerates. When 1 < ρ/λ < 2, even the strong energy condition is not violated and the universe decelerates. Expansion of the universe stops when ρ = 2 λ. This is contrary to earlier results of the phantom universe exhibiting acceleration only.

It is shown that if the time-like eigenvector of the Ricci tensor is hypersurface orthogonal so that the space–time allows a foliation into space sections, then the space average of each of the scalars that appears in the Raychaudhuri equation vanishes provided that the strong energy condition holds good. This result is presented in the form of a singularity theorem.

We consider the low-energy effective string action in four dimensions including the leading order-α′ terms. An exact homogeneous solution is obtained. It represents a nonsingular expanding cosmological model in which the tensor fields tend to vanish as t→∞. The scale factor a(t) of the very early universe in this model has the time dependence [Formula: see text]. The violation of the strong energy condition of classical General Relativity to avoid the initial singularity requires that the central charge deficit of the theory be larger than a certain value. The significance of this solution is discussed.

Recent many physicists suggest that the dark energy in the universe might result from the Born–Infeld (B–I) type scalar field of string theory. The universe of B–I type scalar field with potential can undergo a phase of accelerating expansion. The corresponding equation of state parameter lies in the range of -1<ω<-⅓. The equation of state parameter of B–I type scalar field without potential lies in the range of 0≤ω≤1. We find that weak energy condition and strong energy condition are violated for phantom B–I type scalar field. The equation of state parameter lies in the range of ω<-1.
