Adiabatic decaying vacuum model for the universe
We study a model that the entropy per particle in the universe is constant.
The sources for the entropy are the particle creation and a lambda decaying
term. We find exact solutions for the Einstein field equations and show the
compatibilty of the model with respect to the age and the acceleration of the
universe.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
Bulk viscous cosmology with causal transport theory
We consider cosmological scenarios originating from a single imperfect fluid
with bulk viscosity and apply Eckart's and both the full and the truncated
M\"uller-Israel-Stewart's theories as descriptions of the non-equilibrium
processes. Our principal objective is to investigate if the dynamical
properties of Dark Matter and Dark Energy can be described by a single viscous
fluid and how such description changes when a causal theory
(M\"uller-Israel-Stewart's, both in its full and truncated forms) is taken into
account instead of Eckart's non-causal theory. To this purpose, we find
numerical solutions for the gravitational potential and compare its behaviour
with the corresponding LambdaCDM case. Eckart's and the full causal theory seem
to be disfavoured, whereas the truncated theory leads to results similar to
those of the LambdaCDM model for a bulk viscous speed in the interval 10^{-11}
<< c_b^2 < 10^{-8}. Tentatively relating such value to a square propagation
velocity of the order of T/m of perturbations in a non-relativistic gas of
particles with mass m at the epoch of matter-radiation equality, this may be
compatible with a mass range 0.1 GeV < m << 100 GeV.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figure
Equation of state for Universe from similarity symmetries
In this paper we proposed to use the group of analysis of symmetries of the
dynamical system to describe the evolution of the Universe. This methods is
used in searching for the unknown equation of state. It is shown that group of
symmetries enforce the form of the equation of state for noninteracting scaling
multifluids. We showed that symmetries give rise the equation of state in the
form and energy density
, which
is commonly used in cosmology. The FRW model filled with scaling fluid (called
homological) is confronted with the observations of distant type Ia supernovae.
We found the class of model parameters admissible by the statistical analysis
of SNIa data. We showed that the model with scaling fluid fits well to
supernovae data. We found that and (), which can correspond to (hyper) phantom fluid, and to a
high density universe. However if we assume prior that
then the favoured model is close to concordance
CDM model. Our results predict that in the considered model with
scaling fluids distant type Ia supernovae should be brighter than in
CDM model, while intermediate distant SNIa should be fainter than in
CDM model. We also investigate whether the model with scaling fluid is
actually preferred by data over CDM model. As a result we find from
the Akaike model selection criterion prefers the model with noninteracting
scaling fluid.Comment: accepted for publication versio
La sepultura 11/145 de la necrópolis ibérica de Los Castellones de Ceal (Hinojares, Jaén)
In this paper we present the excavation of an Iberian tomb with a complicated structure made of wood, mud bricks and stones. It contained the cremated bones of an adult male in an urn of painted pottery and accompanied among other objects by three more vascs. On the wooden roof there was a ritual offcring of plates and sorne hen's cggs. Special interest in shown in thc constructive method of the tomb.Se presenta aquí una tumba ibérica cuya estructura consta de madera, adobes y piedra. Contiene los huesos cremados de un individuo masculino adulto, incluido en una urna y acompañado, entre otras cosas, por tres vasos. Sobre el techo de madera se depositaron platos y huevos de gallina como ofrenda ritual. Se hace especial hincapié en el sistema constructivo de la sepultura
The Running of the Cosmological and the Newton Constant controlled by the Cosmological Event Horizon
We study the renormalisation group running of the cosmological and the Newton
constant, where the renormalisation scale is given by the inverse of the radius
of the cosmological event horizon. In this framework, we discuss the future
evolution of the universe, where we find stable de Sitter solutions, but also
"big crunch"-like and "big rip"-like events, depending on the choice of the
parameters in the model.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures, minor improvements, references adde
Some remarks on Bianchi type-II, VIII and IX models
Within the scope of anisotropic non-diagonal Bianchi type-II, VIII and IX
spacetime it is shown that the off-diagonal components of the corresponding
metric impose severe restrictions on the components of the energy momentum
tensor in general. If the energy momentum tensor is considered to be diagonal
one, the spacetime, expect a partial case of BII, becomes locally rotationally
symmetric.Comment: 8 page
