    Towards relativistic quantum geometry

    Get PDF
    We obtain a gauge-invariant relativistic quantum geometry by using a Weylian-like manifold with a geometric scalar field which provides a gauge-invariant relativistic quantum theory in which the algebra of the Weylian-like field depends on observers. An example for a Reissner-Nordstr\"om black-hole is studied.Comment: 9 pages, no figures, improved versio

    Discrete Modes in Gravitational Waves from the Big-Bang

    We develop a new approach to gravitational waves in which the Einstein equations are governed by the cosmological constant which is related to the existence of a manifold which is closed. We study an example in which the matter Lagrangian is described by the scalar (inflaton) field. There are only three dynamical solutions. In one of them the universe is initially static but begins to increase until an inflationary stage. We calculate the dynamics of GW in this primordial pre-inflationary stage of the universe. We found that there should be an infinite number of polarization modes in order to the fields can be quantized. Finally, we calculate the energy density due to the gravitational waves.Comment: Version accepted in Astrophysics Space Scienc

    Form invariant transformations between n-- and m-- dimensional flat Friedmann--Robertson--Walker cosmologies

    We illustrate how the group of symmetry transformations, which preserve the form of the n--dimensional flat Friedmann--Robertson--Walker cosmologies satisfying Einstein equations, acts in any dimension. This group relates the energy density and the isotropic pressure of the cosmic fluid to the expansion rate. The freedom associated with the dimension of the space time yields assisted inflation even when the energy density of the fluid is a dimensional invariant and enriches the set of duality transformations leading to phantom cosmologies.Comment: Accepted for publication in Iternational Journal of Modern Physics
