Quantum fields and "Big Rip" expansion singularities
arXiv:gr-qc/0411134 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/22/4/L01
Abstract
The effects of quantized conformally invariant massless fields on the evolution of cosmological models containing a ``Big Rip'' future expansion singularity are examined. Quantized scalar, spinor, and vector fields are found to strengthen the accelerating expansion of such models as they approach the expansion singularity.
