Isotropic cosmologies in Weyl geometry
arXiv:gr-qc/0402039 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/21/12/014
Abstract
We study homogeneous and isotropic cosmologies in a Weyl spacetime. We show that for homogeneous and isotropic spacetimes, the field equations can be reduced to the Einstein equations with a two-fluid source. We write the equations as a two-dimensional dynamical system and analyze the qualitative, asymptotic behavior of the models. We examine the possibility that in certain theories the Weyl 1-form may give rise to a late accelerated expansion of the Universe and conclude that such behaviour is not met as a generic feature of the simplest cosmologies.
