Inflationary Cosmology in Scalar-Tensor Gravity: Reconstructing Higgs-Like Potentials
Anderson Mendonça da Silva, Jim E. F. Skea
We study cosmology in scalar-tensor (Bergmann Wagoner) gravity, restricting the coupling function, to be constant. Rather than specify the form of the cosmological function,…
Numerical evolution of general Robinson-Trautman spacetimes: code tests, wave forms and the efficiency of the gravitational wave extraction
H. P. de Oliveira, E. L. Rodrigues, J. E. F. Skea
We present an efficient numerical code based on spectral methods to integrate the field equations of general Robinson-Trautmann spacetimes. The most natural basis functions for the…
Friedmann Robertson Walker models with Conformally Coupled Massive Scalar Fields are Non-integrable
L. A. A. Coelho, J. E. F. Skea, T. J. Stuchi
In this work we use a recently developed nonintegrability theorem of Morales and Ramis to prove that the Friedmann Robertson Walker cosmological model with a conformally coupled ma…
Active gravitational mass and the invariant characterization of Reissner-Nordstrom spacetime
L. Herrera, N. O. Santos, J. E. F. Skea
We analyse the concept of active gravitational mass for Reissner-Nordstrom spacetime in terms of scalar polynomial invariants and the Karlhede classification. We show that while th…
