Phase space geometry in scalar-tensor cosmology

Valerio Faraoni

We study the phase space of spatially homogeneous and isotropic cosmology in general scalar-tensor theories. A reduction to a two-dimensional phase space is performed when possible…

Negative energy and stability in scalar-tensor gravity

Valerio Faraoni

Linearized gravitational waves in Brans-Dicke and scalar-tensor theories carry negative energy. A gauge-invariant analysis shows that the background Minkowski space is stable at th…

de Sitter attractors in generalized gravity

Valerio Faraoni

We obtain conditions for the existence and stability of de Sitter attractors in the phase space of spatially homogeneous and isotropic cosmology in generalized theories of gravity…

Coupled oscillators as models of phantom and scalar field cosmologies

Valerio Faraoni

We study a toy model for phantom cosmology recently introduced in the literature and consisting of two oscillators, one of which carries negative kinetic energy. The results are co…

Singularities in scalar-tensor gravity

Valerio Faraoni

The analysis of certain singularities in scalar-tensor gravity contained in a recent paper is completed, and situations are pointed out in which these singularities cannot occur.

Big smash of the universe

Valerio Faraoni

The occurrence of a big smash singularity which ends the universe in a finite time in the future is investigated in the context of superquintessence, i.e. dark energy with effectiv…

The New Planck Scale: Quantized Spin and Charge Coupled to Gravity

F. I. Cooperstock, V. Faraoni

In the standard approach to defining a Planck scale where gravity is brought into the quantum domain, the Schwarzschild gravitational radius is set equal to the Compton wavelength.…
