AbstractWe use the principle of symmetric criticality to connect the Willmore variational problem for surfaces in a warped product space with base a circle, and the free elastica variational problem for curves on its fiber. In addition we obtain a rational oneparameter family of closed helices in the anti De Sitter 3-space which are critical points of the total squared curvature functional. This means they are free elasticae. Also they are spacelike; this allows us to construct a corresponding family of spacelike Willmore tori in a certain kind of spacetime close to the Robertson-Walker spaces.

In this paper, we characterize the Einstein multiply warped product space with nonpositive scalar curvature. As a result, it is shown that, if [Formula: see text] is Einstein multiple-warped product spaces with compact base and nonpositive scalar curvature, then [Formula: see text] is simply a Riemannian manifold. Next, we apply our result on Generalized Robertson–Walker space-time and Generalized Friedmann–Robertson–Walker space-time.

Assuming the existence of a 5D purely kinetic scalar field on the class of warped product spaces we investigate the possibility of mimic both an inflationary and a quintessential scenarios on 4D hypersurfaces, by implementing a dynamical foliation on the fifth coordinate instead of a constant one. We obtain that an induced chaotic inflationary scenario with a geometrically induced scalar potential and an induced quasi-vacuum equation of state on 4D dynamical hypersurfaces is possible. While on a constant foliation, the universe can be considered as matter-dominated today, in a family of 4D dynamical hypersurfaces, the universe can be passing period of accelerated expansion with a deceleration parameter nearly -1. This effect of the dynamical foliation results negligible at the inflationary epoch allowing for a chaotic inflationary scenario and becomes considerable at the present epoch allowing a quintessential scenario.
