Dynamics of quadratic f(R) cosmology with a perfect fluid: Jordan and Einstein frames
Artur Alho, Margarida Lima, Filipe C. Mena
We investigate the global dynamics of the field equations of (pure) quadratic theories of gravity which generalise Einstein's theory in spatially flat homogeneous and isotropic cos…
Quintessence: Quadratic potentials
Artur Alho, Claes Uggla
Arguably one can use a canonical scalar field , minimally coupled to gravity, with quadratic potentials to explore some general features of slow-roll a…
Quintessence
Artur Alho, Elsa Bernholm, Claes Uggla
Recent observations suggest that the accelerated expansion of the Universe at late times is caused by a temporally changing dark energy component, rather than the constant one in t…
New simple and accurate quintessence approximations
Artur Alho, Claes Uggla
We derive new approximations for quintessence solutions that are simpler and an order of magnitude more accurate than anything available in the literature, which from an observatio…

Artur Alho, Claes Uggla, John Wainwright
Tracking quintessence, in a spatially flat and isotropic space-time with a minimally coupled canonical scalar field and an asymptotically inverse power-law potential $V(φ)\proptoφ^…
Spherically symmetric elastic bodies in general relativity
Artur Alho, José Natário, Paolo Pani +1
The purpose of this review it to present a renewed perspective of the problem of self-gravitating elastic bodies under spherical symmetry. It is also a companion to the papers [Phy…
Scale invariant elastic stars in General Relativity
Artur Alho, José Natário, Paolo Pani +1
We present a model of relativistic elastic stars featuring scale invariance. This implies a linear mass-radius relation and the absence of a maximum mass. The most compact spherica…

Artur Alho, Vitor Bessa, Filipe C. Mena
Motivated by cosmological models of the early universe we analyse the dynamics of the Einstein equations with a minimally coupled scalar field with monomial potentials $V(ϕ)=\frac{…
Quintessence from a state space perspective
Artur Alho, Claes Uggla, John Wainwright
We use dynamical systems methods to study quintessence models in a spatially flat and isotropic spacetime with matter and a scalar field with potentials for which …
Compactness bounds in General Relativity
Artur Alho, José Natário, Paolo Pani +1
A foundational theorem due to Buchdahl states that, within General Relativity (GR), the maximum compactness of a static, spherically symmetric, perfec…

Artur Alho, Woei Chet Lim, Claes Uggla
We consider a dynamical systems formulation for models with an exponential scalar field and matter with a linear equation of state in a spatially flat and isotropic spacetime. In c…
Compact elastic objects in general relativity
Artur Alho, José Natário, Paolo Pani +1
We introduce a rigorous and general framework to study systematically self-gravitating elastic materials within general relativity, and apply it to investigate the existence and vi…
Self-gravitating static balls of power-law elastic matter
Artur Alho, Simone Calogero, Astrid Liljenberg
We study a class of power-law stored energy functions for spherically symmetric elastic bodies that includes well-known material models, such as the Saint Venant-Kirchhoff, Hadamar…

The existence of static self-gravitating Newtonian elastic balls is proved under general assumptions on the constitutive equations of the elastic material. The proof uses methods f…
Perturbations of the Lambda-CDM model in a dynamical systems perspective
Artur Alho, Claes Uggla, John Wainwright
The observational success and simplicity of the CDM model, and the explicit analytic perturbations thereof, set the standard for any alternative cosmology. It therefore serves a…
Multi-body spherically symmetric steady states of Newtonian self-gravitating elastic matter
