Noether symmetries of Bianchi type I spacetimes via Rif tree approach

In this paper, we have studied Noether symmetries of the general Bianchi type I spacetimes. The Lagrangian associated with the most general Bianchi type I metric is used to find the set of Noether symmetry equations. These equations are analyzed using an algorithm, developed in Maple, to get all possible Bianchi type I metrics admitting different Noether symmetries. The set of Noether symmetry equations is then solved for each metric to obtain the Noether symmetry algebras of dimensions 4, 5, 6 and 9.

A new class of holographic dark energy models in LRS Bianchi Type-I

In this paper, we examine the LRS Bianchi-type-I cosmological model with holographic dark energy. The exact solutions to the corresponding field equations are obtained by using the generalized hybrid expansion law (HEL). The EoS parameter [Formula: see text] for DE is found to be time-dependent and redshift-dependent and its exiting range for derived model is agreeing well with the current observations. Here, we likewise apply two mathematical diagnostics, the statefinders ([Formula: see text]) and [Formula: see text] plan to segregate HDE model from the [Formula: see text]CDM model. Here, the [Formula: see text] diagnostic trajectories are good tools to classify the dynamical DE model. We found that our model lies in both thawing region and freezing region. We also construct the potential as well as dynamics of the quintessence and tachyon scalar field. Some physical and geometric properties of this model along with the physical acceptability of cosmological solution have been discussed in detail.

On a Bianchi type-I space-time with bulk viscosity in f(R,T) gravity

In this paper, we present a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-I cosmological model with a viscous bulk fluid in [Formula: see text] gravity where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the Ricci scalar and trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively. The field equations are solved explicitly using the hybrid law of the scale factor, which is related to the average Hubble parameter and gives a time-varying deceleration parameter (DP). We found the deceleration parameter describing two phases in the universe, the early deceleration phase [Formula: see text] and the current acceleration phase [Formula: see text]. We have calculated some physical and geometric properties and their graphs, whether in terms of time or redshift. Note that for our model, the bulk viscous pressure [Formula: see text] is negative and the energy density [Formula: see text] is positive. The energy conditions and the [Formula: see text] analysis for our spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-I model are also discussed.

Conformal vector fields of Bianchi type-I spacetimes

This paper aims to investigate Conformal Vector Fields (CVFs) of Bianchi type-I spacetimes. A set of 10-coupled Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) is obtained from the conformal Killing equations. These equations are solved by using direct integration techniques to explore the components of CVFs. Utilizing these components, we get a system of three integrability conditions. Finally, we achieve CVFs along with conformal factors for unique possibilities of unknown metric functions from the solution of these conditions. From our results, it is examined that Bianchi type-I spacetimes admit five or fifteen CVFs for specific choices of metric functions.

Higher Dimensional Bianchi Type-I Cosmological Models With Massive String in General Relativity

Here we studied Bianchi type-I cosmological models with massive strings in general relativity in five dimensional space time. Out of the two different cases obtained here, one case leads to a five dimensional Bianchi type-I string cosmological model in general relativity while the other yields the vacuum Universe in general relativity in five dimensional space time. The physical and geometrical properties of the model Universe are studied and compared with the present day’s observational findings. It is observed that our model is anisotropic, expanding, shearing, and decelerates at an early stage and then accelerates at a later time. The model expands along x, y, and z axes and the extra dimension contracts and becomes unobservable at t → ∞. We also observed that the sum of the energy density (ρ) and the string tension density (λ) vanishes (ρ + λ = 0).

Applications of, and Extensions to, Selected Exact Solutions in General Relativity

<p>In this thesis we consider several aspects of general relativity relating to exact solutions of the Einstein equations. In the first part gravitational plane waves in the Rosen form are investigated, and we develop a formalism for writing down any arbitrary polarisation in this form. In addition to this we have extended this algorithm to an arbitrary number of dimensions, and have written down an explicit solution for a circularly polarized Rosen wave. In the second part a particular, ultra-local limit along an arbitrary timelike geodesic in any spacetime is constructed, in close analogy with the well-known lightlike Penrose limit. This limit results in a Bianchi type I spacetime. The properties of these spacetimes are examined in the context of this limit, including the Einstein equations, stress-energy conservation and Raychaudhuri equation. Furthermore the conditions for the Bianchi type I spacetime to be diagonal are explicitly set forward, and the effect of the limit on the matter content of a spacetime are examined.</p>

Killing vector fields of Bianchi type I spacetimes via Rif tree approach

In this paper, we have adopted a new approach to study the Killing vector fields of locally rotationally symmetric and general Bianchi type I spacetimes. Instead of directly integrating the set of Killing’s equations, an algorithm is developed in Maple which converts these equations to the reduced involutive form (Rif) and consequently it imposes some restrictions on the metric functions in the form of a tree, known as Rif tree. The set of Killing’s equations is then solved for each branch of the Rif tree, giving the explicit form of the Killing vector fields. The structure of Lie algebra is presented for each set of the obtained Killing vector fields and some physical implications of the obtained metrics are discussed.
