Cosmic acceleration from topological considerations II: Fiber bundles
In this work we study an alternative topological model for explaining the
observed acceleration of space-time, we answer the question of whether this
acceleration could be a consequence of the topology of the universe. For doing
that, we propose that the whole universe is composed of a four dimensional base
space, which represents space-time, endowed with a fiber forming a principal
fiber bundle. We analyze this hypothesis for a homogeneous and isotropic four
dimensional space-time and show that the effect of the fiber onto the base
space is that the space-time accelerates depending on the group of the fiber,
even in an oscillatory way, resembling the behavior of the universe according
to recent observations. We conclude that there is the possibility of the
accelerating behavior of the universe being due to its whole topology instead
of an exotic kind of matter.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figure
Galactic Collapse of Scalar Field Dark Matter
We present a scenario for galaxy formation based on the hypothesis of scalar
field dark matter. We interpret galaxy formation through the collapse of a
scalar field fluctuation. We find that a cosh potential for the
self-interaction of the scalar field provides a reasonable scenario for
galactic formation, which is in agreement with cosmological observations and
phenomenological studies in galaxies.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figue
CLASS OF EINSTEIN-MAXWELL-DILATON-AXION SPACE-TIMES
We use the harmonic maps ansatz to find exact solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton-axion
(EMDA) equations. The solutions are harmonic maps invariant to the symplectic real group in four
dimensions Spð4;RÞ Oð5Þ. We find solutions of the EMDA field equations for the one- and twodimensional
subspaces of the symplectic group. Specially, for illustration of the method, we find spacetimes
that generalize the Schwarzschild solution with dilaton, axion, and electromagnetic field
