Chameleon Cosmology Model Describing the Phantom Divide Line Crossing
An exact solution describing the evolution of the type Bang-to-Rip with the
phantom divide line crossing is constructed in the Chameleon cosmology model,
based on two independent functions of the scalar field.Comment: 9 page
Development of an Extended Product Lifecycle Management through Service Oriented Architecture.
Organised by: Cranfield UniversityThe aim of this work is to define new business opportunities through the concept of Extended Product
Lifecycle Management (ExtPLM), analysing its potential implementation within a Service Oriented
Architecture. ExtPLM merges the concepts of Extended Product, Avatar and PLM. It aims at allowing a
closer interaction between enterprises and their customers, who are integrated in all phases of the life cycle,
creating new technical functionalities and services, improving both the practical (e.g. improving usage,
improving safety, allowing predictive maintenance) and the emotional side (e.g. extreme customization) of
the product.Mori Seiki – The Machine Tool Company; BAE Systems; S4T – Support Service Solutions: Strategy and Transitio
Two-field cosmological models and large-scale cosmic magnetic fields
We consider two different toy cosmological models based on two fields (one
normal scalar and one phantom) realizing the same evolution of the Bang-to-Rip
type. One of the fields (pseudoscalar) interacts with the magnetic field
breaking the conformal invariance of the latter. The effects of the
amplification of cosmic magnetic fields are studied and it is shown that the
presence of such effects can discriminate between different cosmological models
realizing the same global evolution of the universe.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
Symmetries and the cosmological constant puzzle
We outline the evaluation of the cosmological constant in the framework of
the standard field-theoretical treatment of vacuum energy and discuss the
relation between the vacuum energy problem and the gauge-group spontaneous
symmetry breaking. We suggest possible extensions of the 't Hooft-Nobbenhuis
symmetry, in particular, its complexification till duality symmetry and discuss
the compatible implementation on gravity. We propose to use the discrete
time-reflection transform to formulate a framework in which one can eliminate
the huge contributions of vacuum energy into the effective cosmological
constant and suggest that the breaking of time--reflection symmetry could be
responsible for a small observable value of this constant.Comment: 11 pages, more relevant refs, refining cutoff definition of

Remarks on the general solution for the flat Friedman universe with exponential scalar-field potential and dust
We show that the simple extension of the method of obtaining the general
exact solution for the cosmological model with the exponential scalar-field
potential to the case when the dust is present fails and we discuss the reasons
of this puzzling phenomenon.Comment: 11 page
