Generalized Chaplygin gas model, supernovae and cosmic topology

M. C. Bento, O. Bertolami, M. J. Rebouças +1

In this work we study to which extent the knowledge of spatial topology may place constraints on the parameters of the generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) model for unification of dark…

A class of exact solutions of Einstein's field equations in higher dimensional spacetimes, d: Majumdar-Papapetrou solutions

Jose' P. S. Lemos, Vilson T. Zanchin

The Newtonian theory of gravitation and electrostatics admit equilibrium configurations of charged fluids where the charge density can be equal to the mass density, in appropriate…

The Tolman-Bondi--Vaidya Spacetime: matching timelike dust to null dust

Sijie Gao, Jose' P. S. Lemos

The Tolman-Bondi and Vaidya solutions are two solutions to Einstein equations which describe dust particles and null fluid, respectively. We show that it is possible to match the t…

Local conditions for the generalized covariant entropy bound

Sijie Gao, Jose' P. S. Lemos

A set of sufficient conditions for the generalized covariant entropy bound given by Strominger and Thompson is as follows: Suppose that the entropy of matter can be described by an…

Homogeneous cosmologies from the quasi-Maxwell formalism

Joao Costa, Jose Natario

We show how to use the quasi-Maxwell formalism to obtain solutions of Einstein's field equations corresponding to homogeneous cosmologies - namely Einstein's universe, Godel's univ…

Noncommutative scalar field minimally coupled to gravity

Orfeu Bertolami

A model for noncommutative scalar fields coupled to gravity based on the generalization of the Moyal product is proposed. Solutions compatible with homogeneous and isotropic flat R…

What kind of noncommutative geometry for quantum gravity ?

Pierre Martinetti

We give a brief account of the description of the standard model in noncommutative geometry as well as the thermal time hypothesis, questioning their relevance for quantum gravity.
