Energy exchange in Weyl geometry
arXiv:1301.5402
Abstract
We study homogeneous and isotropic cosmologies in a Weyl spacetime. We show that the field equations can be reduced to the Einstein equations with a two-fluid source and analyze the qualitative, asymptotic behavior of the models. Assuming an interaction of the two fluids we impose conditions so that the solutions of the corresponding dynamical system remain in the physically acceptable phase space. We show that in Weyl integrable spacetime, the corresponding scalar field acts as a phantom field and therefore, it may give rise to a late accelerated expansion of the Universe.
