We construct an effective four-dimensional model by compactifying a ten-dimensional theory of gravity coupled with a real scalar dilaton field on a time-dependent torus. The corresponding action in four dimensions is similar to the action of K-essence theories. This approach is applied to anisotropic cosmological Bianchi type VI(h=-1) model for which we study the classical coupling of the anisotropic scale factors with the two real scalar moduli produced by the compactification process. The classical Einstein field equations give us a hidden symmetry, corresponding to the equality between two radii B=C, which permits us to solve exactly the equations of motion. One relation between the scale factors (A,C) via the solutions is found. With this hidden symmetry, then we solve the FRW model, finding that the scale factor goes to B radii. Also the corresponding Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation in the context of Standard Quantum Cosmology is solved, building a wavepacket when the scalar fields have a hyperbolic behavior, obtaining some qualitative results when we analyze the projection plane to the wall formed by the probability density. Bohm’s formalism for this cosmological model is revisited too.

We deal with the presence of topological defects in models for two real scalar fields. We comment on defects hosting topological defects and search for explicit defect solutions using the trial orbit method. As we know, under certain circumstances the second-order equations of motion can be solved by solutions of first-order differential equations. In this case we show that the trial orbit method can be used very efficiently to obtain explicit solutions.

A five-dimensional FRW-type Kaluza–Klein cosmological model is taken to study the role of extra dimension in the expansion of the universe. Relation between scale factors corresponding to conventional four dimensions and the extra dimension has been established. Field equations are solved in order to find out the effect of pressure corresponding to these scale factors. Conditions for accelerated expansion are derived.

We derive the field equations and the equations of motion for scalar fields and massive test particles in modified theories of gravity with an arbitrary coupling between geometry and matter by using the Palatini formalism. We show that the independent connection can be expressed as the Levi–Cività connection of an auxiliary, matter Lagrangian dependent metric, which is related with the physical metric by means of a conformal transformation. Similarly to the metric case, the field equations impose the nonconservation of the energy–momentum tensor. We derive the explicit form of the equations of motion for massive test particles in the case of a perfect fluid, and the expression of the extra-force is obtained in terms of the matter-geometry coupling functions and of their derivatives. Generally, the motion is non-geodesic, and the extra force is orthogonal to the four-velocity. It is pointed out here that the force is of a different nature than in the metric formalism. We also consider the implications of a nonlinear dependence of the action upon the matter Lagrangian.

In this study, we investigated scalar field in [Formula: see text]-gravity by using LRS Bianchi type-I universe. Massless and massive scalar field models are separately constructed in [Formula: see text]-gravity. Massless scalar field models are examined in the cases of constant and exponential potential fields. For all models, solutions of field equations are obtained under the consideration of [Formula: see text]. [Formula: see text] functions for each model are separately attained in theory. It is shown that constructed models in the presence of massless scalar field permit quintessence scalar field. Also, it is observed that each model indicates expanding universe with deceleration. Also, kinematical quantities are analyzed in the light of obtained solutions. All models are concluded with a geometric and physical perspective.

The “source” of gravity in the Einstein field equations is the stress-energy tensor. After a discussion of why gravitational mass should be part of a rank two tensor, this chapter derives the stress-energy tensor for a variety of types of matter: point particles, perfect fluids, scalar fields, and electromagnetism. The chapter discusses the relationship of differential and integral conservation laws, and introduces the problem of gravitational energy. It concludes with a discussion of one of the most remarkable results of general relativity, the fact that equations of motion for matter do not need to be introduced separately, but follow from the field equations.

This study deals with spatially homogeneous and anisotropic locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type-I universe with cosmic string source in the framework of [Formula: see text] theory of gravity [S. Capozziello, S. Carloni and A. Troisi, Quintessence without scalar fields, Recent Res. Dev. Astron. Astrophys. 1 (2003), 625; S. Nojiri and S. D. Odintsov, Modified gravity with negative and positive powers of curvature: Unification of inflation and cosmic acceleration, Phys. Rev. D 68 (2003) 123512]. Solving the field equations using (i) relation between metric potentials, (ii) power law relation between [Formula: see text] and average scale factor [Formula: see text] and (iii) equations of state for string models we have presented Takabayasi [T. Takabayasi, Quantum Mechanics Determinism, Causality, and Particles (Springer, Berlin, 1976)], Nambu [P. S. Letelier, String cosmologies, Phys. Rev. D 28 (1983) 2414–2419] and Reddy [D. R. K. Reddy, A string cosmological model in a scalar–Tensor theory of gravitation, Astrophys. Space Sci. 286 (2003) 359–363] string cosmological models. The dynamical parameters of our models are determined and their physical behavior is discussed. The most interesting result about the models is that the anisotropic effects are wiped out at late times.

Abstract We present a tetrad--affine approach to $f(\mathcal{Q})$ gravity coupled to spinor fields of spin-$\frac{1}{2}$. After deriving the field equations, we derive the conservation law of the spin density, showing that the latter ensures the vanishing of the antisymmetric part of the Einstein--like equations, just as it happens in theories with torsion and metricity. We then focus on Bianchi type-I cosmological models proposing a general procedure to solve the corresponding field equations and providing analytical solutions in the case of gravitational Lagrangian functions of the kind $f(\mathcal{Q})=\alpha\mathcal{Q}^n$. At late time such solutions are seen to isotropize and, depending on the value of the exponent $n$, they can undergo an accelerated expansion of the spatial scale factors.

We review investigations on defects in systems described by real scalar fields in (D, 1) space-time dimensions. We first work in one spatial dimension, with models described by one and two real scalar fields, and in higher dimensions. We show that when the potential assumes specific form, there are models which support stable global defects for D arbitrary. We also show how to find first-order differential equations that solve the equations of motion, and how to solve models in D dimensions via soluble problems in D = 1. We illustrate the procedure examining specific models and showing how they may be used in applications in different contexts in condensed matter physics, and in other areas.

AbstractIn this paper, we have investigated the homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type–I cosmological model with a time-varying Newtonian and cosmological constant. We have analytically solved Einstein’s field equations (EFEs) in the presence of a stiff-perfect fluid. We show that the analytical solution for the average scale factor for the generalized Friedman equation involves the hyper-geometric function. We have studied the physical and kinematical quantities of the model, and it is found that the universe becomes isotropic at late times.

In this paper, we have studied the Bianchi type-III cosmological model in the presence of cosmological constant in the context of [Formula: see text] modified theory of gravity. Here, we have discussed two classes of [Formula: see text] gravity, i.e. [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In both classes, the modified field equations are solved by the relation expansion scalar [Formula: see text] that is proportional to shear scalar [Formula: see text] which gives [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are metric potentials. Also we have discussed some physical and kinematical properties of the models.
