Spectral action beyond the standard model
We rehabilitate the M_1(C)+ M_2(C)+ M_3(C) model of electro-magnetic, weak
and strong forces as an almost commutative geometry in the setting of the
spectral action.Comment: 12 pages LaTe
Einstein-Cartan, Bianchi I and the Hubble Diagram
We try to solve the dark matter problem in the fit between theory and the
Hubble diagram of supernovae by allowing for torsion via Einstein-Cartan's
gravity and for anisotropy via the axial Bianchi I metric. Otherwise we are
conservative and admit only the cosmological constant and dust. The failure of
our model is quantified by the relative amount of dust in our best fit:
Omega_{m0}= 27 % +/- 5 % at 1 sigma level.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figur
On a weak Gauss law in general relativity and torsion
We present an explicit example showing that the weak Gauss law of general
relativity (with cosmological constant) fails in Einstein-Cartan's theory. We
take this as an indication that torsion might replace dark matter.Comment: 10 pages. Version 2 corrects a factor 3 in Cartan's equations to
become
Time delay in the Einstein-Straus solution
The time delay of strong lensing is computed in the framework of the
Einstein-Straus solution. The theory is compared to the observational bound on
the time delay of the lens SDSS J1004+4112.Comment: 20 pages, 4 tables, 1 figur
