Emergent Universe Scenario in Modified Gauss-Bonnet Gravity
B. C. Paul, S. D. Maharaj, A. Beesham
We present modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity without matter in four dimensions which accommodates flat emergent universe (EU) obtained in Einstein's general theory of gravity with a no…

An emergent universe supported by a nonlinear sigma model
A. Beesham, S. V. Chervon, S. D. Maharaj
We suggest the use of a nonlinear sigma model as the source which supports an emergent universe. The two-component nonlinear sigma model is considered as the simplest model contain…

Power Law Inflation and the Cosmic No Hair Theorem in Brane World
B. C. Paul, A. Beesham
The Cosmic no hair theorem is studied in anisotropic Bianchi brane models which admit power law inflation with a scalar field. We note that all Bianchi models except Bianchi type I…
