Big Bang and Topology
Torsten Asselmeyer-Maluga, Jerzy Krol, Alissa Wilms
In this paper we discuss the initial state of the universe at the Big Bang. By using ideas of Freedman in the proof of the disk embedding theorem for 4-manifolds, we describe the c…
Dark Matter as gravitational solitons in the weak field limit
Torsten Asselmeyer-Maluga, Jerzy Krol
In this paper, we will describe the idea that dark matter partly consists of gravitational solitons (gravisolitons). The corresponding solution is valid for weak gravitational fiel…
How to obtain a cosmological constant from small exotic R^4
T. Asselmeyer-Maluga, J. Krol
In this paper we determine the cosmological constant as a topological invariant by applying certain techniques from low dimensional differential topology. We work with a small exot…
Inflation and topological phase transition driven by exotic smoothness
T. Asselmeyer-Maluga, J. Krol
In this paper we will discuss a model which describes the cause of inflation by a topological transition. The guiding principle is the choice of an exotic smoothness structure for…
Decoherence in quantum cosmology and the cosmological constant
T. Asselmeyer-Maluga, J. Krol
We discuss a spacetime having the topology of but with a different smoothness structure. The initial state of the cosmos in our model is identified with a w…
On the origin of inflation by using exotic smoothness
T. Asselmeyer-Maluga, J. Krol
In this paper we discuss a spacetime having the topology of S^3 x R but with a different smoothness structure leading to a geometric model for inflation, called geometric inflation…
