Changing Rate

Using the observed time and spatial intervals defined originally by Einstein and the observational frame in the vierbein formalism, we propose that in curved space–time, for a wave received in laboratories, the observed frequency is the changing rate of the phase of the wave relative to the local observable time scale and the momentum is the changing rate of the phase relative to the local observable spatial length scale. The case of Robertson–Walker universe is especially considered and the application to de Sitter universe results in a cosmological constant in perfect agreement with the observational data.

The paper deals with the calculation of the gravitational entropy in the context of teleparallel gravity for de Sitter space-time. In such a theory it is possible to define gravitational energy and pressure; thus we use those expressions to construct the gravitational entropy. We use the temperature as a function of the cosmological constant and write the first law of thermodynamics from which we obtain the entropy. In the limit Λ≪1 we find that the entropy is proportional to volume, for a specific temperature’s choice; we find that ΔS≥0 as well. We also identify a phase transition in de Sitter space-time by analyzing the specific heat.

Perihelion Shift

Various approaches to quantum gravity, such as string theory, predict a minimal measurable length and a modification of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle near the Plank scale, known as the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). Here we study the effects of GUP, which preserves the rotational symmetry of the space–time, on the Kepler problem. By comparing the value of the perihelion shift of the planet Mercury in Schwarzschild – de Sitter space–time with the resultant value of GUP, we find a relation between the minimal measurable length and the cosmological constant of the space–time. Now, if the cosmological constant varies with time, we have a variable minimal length in the space–time. Finally, we investigate the effects of GUP on the stability of circular orbits.

De Sitter Vacua

We present a regular spherically symmetric cosmological model of the Lemaitre class distinguished by the holographic principle as the thermodynamically stable end-point of quantum evaporation of the cosmological horizon. A source term in the Einstein equations connects smoothly two de Sitter vacua with different values of cosmological constant and corresponds to anisotropic vacuum dark fluid defined by symmetry of its stress-energy tensor which is invariant under the radial boosts. Global structure of space-time is the same as for the de Sitter space-time. Cosmological evolution goes from a big initial value of the cosmological constant towards its presently observed value.

We investigate the occurrence of naked singularities in the gravitational collapse of an inhomogeneous dust cloud in an expanding de Sitter background — a piece of Tolman–Bondi–de Sitter space–time. It turns out that the collapse proceed in the same way as in the Minkowski background, i.e., the strong curvature naked singularities form and thus violate the cosmic censorship conjecture. Our result unambiguously support the fact that the asymptotic flatness of space–time is not a necessary ingredient for the development of naked singularities.

The kinematical properties of the de Sitter space-time are reviewed and investigated. The properties of the static sections are clarified. A deduction of the analytic extension, analogous to that of Kruskal and Szekeres for the Schwarzschild space-time, of the static section to the region outside the horizon is given. The representation of the de Sitter space-time as a four-dimensional hyperboloid in Minkowskian five-dimensional spacetime is reviewed. Coordinate transformations between different sections of the de Sitter space-time are found. By means of the transformation formulae the different sections are mapped onto each other in space-time diagrams. These mappings are interpreted kinematically. We have aimed at providing, whenever possible, an intuitive understanding of the kinematical properties of the different sections, and how they are interrelated. Among others we present real coordinate transformations between the static and the three Robertson-Walker sections of the de Sitter space-time on one hand and the vacuum dominated Bianchi type-III model on the other hand. These transformations are used to map the path of a typical Bianchi type-III reference particle into the static and the Robertson-Walker sections.

Webb et al. presented preliminary evidence for a time-varying fine-structure constant. We show Teller's formula for this variation to be ruled out within the Einstein-de Sitter universe, however, it is compatible with cosmologies which require a large cosmological constant.

Huygens Principle

Fields of spin s ≥ 1 / 2 satisfying wave equations in a curved space obey the Huygens principle under certain conditions clarified by a known theorem. Here, this theorem is generalized to spin zero and applied to an inflaton field in de Sitter-like space, showing that tails of scalar radiation are an unavoidable physical feature. Requiring the absence of tails, on the contrary, necessarily implies an unnatural tuning between cosmological constant, scalar field mass, and coupling constant to the curvature.
