Accelerated expansion of the Universe driven by dynamic self-interaction
We establish a new model, which takes into account a dynamic (inertial)
self-interaction of gravitating systems. The model is formulated by
introduction of a new function depending on the square of the covariant
derivative of the velocity four-vector of the system as a whole into the
Lagrangian. This term is meant for description of both self-action of the
system irregularly moving in the gravitational field, and back-reaction of the
motion irregularities on the gravity field. We discuss one example of exact
solution to the extended master equations in the framework of cosmological
model of the FLRW type with vanishing cosmological constant. It is shown that
accelerated expansion of the Universe can be driven by traditional matter with
positive pressure (e.g., dust, ultrarelativistic fluid) due to the
back-reaction of the gravity field induced by irregular motion of the system as
a whole; this back-reaction is shown to be characterized by the negative
effective pressure.Comment: 9 pages, no figures, accepted for publication in Phys.Letters
Parametric phenomena of the particle dynamics in a periodic gravitational wave field
We establish exactly solvable models for the motion of neutral particles,
electrically charged point and spin particles (U(1) symmetry), isospin
particles (SU(2) symmetry), and particles with color charges (SU(3) symmetry)
in a gravitational wave background. Special attention is devoted to parametric
effects induced by the gravitational field. In particular, we discuss
parametric instabilities of the particle motion and parametric oscillations of
the vectors of spin, isospin, and color charge.Comment: 26 pages, to be published in J. Math. Phy
Axion-induced oscillations of cooperative electric field in a cosmic magneto-active plasma
We consider one cosmological application of an axionic extension of the
Maxwell-Vlasov theory, which describes axionically induced oscillatory regime
in the state of global magnetic field evolving in the anisotropic expanding
(early) universe. We show that the cooperative electric field in the
relativistic plasma, being coupled to the pseudoscalar (axion) and global
magnetic fields, plays the role of a regulator in this three-level system; in
particular, the cooperative (Vlasov) electric field converts the regime of
anomalous growth of the pseudoscalar field, caused by the axion-photon coupling
at the inflationary epoch of the universe expansion, into an oscillatory regime
with finite density of relic axions. We analyze solutions to the dispersion
equations for the axionically induced cooperative oscillations of the electric
field in the relativistic plasma.Comment: 7 pages, misprints correcte
Non-minimal Wu-Yang monopole
We discuss new exact spherically symmetric static solutions to non-minimally
extended Einstein-Yang-Mills equations. The obtained solution to the Yang-Mills
subsystem is interpreted as a non-minimal Wu-Yang monopole solution. We focus
on the analysis of two classes of the exact solutions to the gravitational
field equations. Solutions of the first class belong to the
Reissner-Nordstr{\"o}m type, i.e., they are characterized by horizons and by
the singularity at the point of origin. The solutions of the second class are
regular ones. The horizons and singularities of a new type, the non-minimal
ones, are indicated.Comment: 10 pages, no figures, typos correcte
Effective metrics in the non-minimal Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory
We formulate a self-consistent non-minimal five-parameter
Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs (EYMH) model and analyse it in terms of effective
(associated, color and color-acoustic) metrics. We use a formalism of
constitutive tensors in order to reformulate master equations for the gauge,
scalar and gravitational fields and reconstruct in the algebraic manner the
so-called associated metrics for the Yang-Mills field. Using WKB-approximation
we find color metrics for the Yang-Mills field and color-acoustic metric for
the Higgs field in the framework of five-parameter EYMH model. Based on
explicit representation of these effective metrics for the EYMH system with
uniaxial symmetry, we consider cosmological applications for Bianchi-I, FLRW
and de Sitter models. We focus on the analysis of the obtained expressions for
velocities of propagation of longitudinal and transversal color and
color-acoustic waves in a (quasi)vacuum interacting with curvature; we show
that curvature coupling results in time variations of these velocities. We
show, that the effective metrics can be regular or can possess singularities
depending on the choice of the parameters of non-minimal coupling in the
cosmological models under discussion. We consider a physical interpretation of
such singularities in terms of phase velocities of color and color-acoustic
waves, using the terms ``wave stopping'' and ``trapped surface''.Comment: 25 pages, no figures, accepted to Annals of Physic
Electromagnetic waves in an axion-active relativistic plasma non-minimally coupled to gravity
We consider cosmological applications of a new self-consistent system of
equations, accounting for a nonminimal coupling of the gravitational,
electromagnetic and pseudoscalar (axion) fields in a relativistic plasma. We
focus on dispersion relations for electromagnetic perturbations in an initially
isotropic ultrarelativistic plasma coupled to the gravitational and axion
fields in the framework of isotropic homogeneous cosmological model of the de
Sitter type. We classify the longitudinal and transversal electromagnetic modes
in an axionically active plasma and distinguish between waves (damping,
instable or running), and nonharmonic perturbations (damping or instable). We
show that for the special choice of the guiding model parameters the
transversal electromagnetic waves in the axionically active plasma,
nonminimally coupled to gravity, can propagate with the phase velocity less
than speed of light in vacuum, thus displaying a possibility for a new type of
resonant particle-wave interactions.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures, published versio
Non-minimal Couplings of Electromagnetic Fields to Gravity: Static, Spherically Symmetric Solutions
We investigate the non-minimal couplings between the electromagnetic fields
and gravity through the natural logarithm of the curvature scalar. After we
give the Lagrangian formulation of the non-minimally coupled theory, we derive
field equations by a first order variational principle using the method of
Lagrange multipliers. We look at static, spherically symmetric solutions that
are asymptotically flat. We discuss the nature of horizons for some candidate
black hole solutions according to various values of the parameters and

Gradient models of the axion-photon coupling
We establish an extended version of the Einstein - Maxwell - axion model by
introducing into the Lagrangian cross-terms, which contain the gradient
four-vector of the pseudoscalar (axion) field in convolution with the Maxwell
tensor. The gradient model of the axion-photon coupling is applied to
cosmology: we analyze the Bianchi-I type Universe with an initial magnetic
field, electric field induced by the axion-photon interaction, cosmological
constant and dark matter, which is described in terms of the pseudoscalar
(axion) field. Analytical, qualitative and numerical results are presented in
detail for two distinguished epochs: first, for the early Universe with
magnetic field domination; second, for the stage of late-time accelerated
expansion.Comment: 26 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in The European

Geodesic Deviation in Kaluza-Klein Theories
We study in detail the equations of the geodesic deviation in
multidimensional theories of Kaluza-Klein type. We show that their
4-dimensional space-time projections are identical with the equations obtained
by direct variation of the usual geodesic equation in the presence of the
Lorentz force, provided that the fifth component of the deviation vector
satisfies an extra constraint derived here.Comment: 5 pages, Revtex, 1 figure. To appear in Phys. Rev. D (Brief Report
On Isotropic Turbulence in the Dark Fluid Universe
As first part of this work, experimental information about the decay of
isotropic turbulence in ordinary hydrodynamics, u^2(t) proportional to
t^{-6/5}, is used as input in FRW equations in order to investigate how an
initial fraction f of turbulent kinetic energy in the cosmic fluid influences
the cosmological development in the late, quintessence/phantom, universe. First
order perturbative theory to the first order in f is employed. It turns out
that both in the Hubble factor, and in the energy density, the influence from
the turbulence fades away at late times. The divergences in these quantities
near the Big Rip behave essentially as in a non-turbulent fluid. However, for
the scale factor, the turbulence modification turns out to diverge
logarithmically. As second part of our work, we consider the full FRW equation
in which the turbulent part of the dark energy is accounted for by a separate
term. It is demonstrated that turbulence occurrence may change the future
universe evolution due to dissipation of dark energy. For instance,
phantom-dominated universe becomes asymptotically a de Sitter one in the
future, thus avoiding the Big Rip singularity.Comment: 10 pages, no figures, significant revision. Matches published versio
