Shear and Vorticity in an Accelerating Brans-Dicke Lambda-Universe with Torsion

Marcelo Samuel Berman

We study accelerating Universes with power-law scale-factors. We include shear and vorticity, a cosmological "constant" term, and spin from torsion, as in Einstein-Cartan's theory…

A General Relativistic Rotating Evolutionary Universe - Part II

Marcelo Samuel Berman

As a sequel to (Berman, 2008a), we show that the rotation of the Universe can be dealt by generalised Gaussian metrics, defined in this paper. Robertson-Walker's metric has been em…

Shear and Vorticity in Inflationary Brans-Dicke Cosmology with Lambda-Term

Marcelo Samuel Berman

We find a solution for exponential inflation in Brans-Dicke cosmology endowed with a cosmological term, which includes time-varying shear and vorticity. We find that the scalar fie…

Natural Entropy Production in an Inflationary Model for a Polarized Vacuum

Marcelo Samuel Berman, Murari M. Som

Though entropy production is forbidden in standard FRW Cosmology, Berman and Som presented a simple inflationary model where entropy production by bulk viscosity, during standard i…

Is the Universe a White-Hole?

Marcelo Samuel Berman

Pathria(1972) has shown, for a pressureless closed Universe, that it is inside a black (or white) hole. We show now, that the Universe with a cosmic pressure obeying Einstein's fie…

On the Machian Origin of Inertia

Marcelo Samuel Berman

We examine Sciama's inertia theory: we generalise it, by combining rotation and expansion in one unique model, we find the angular speed of the Universe, and we stress that the the…
