Geodesically complete analytic solutions for a cyclic universe

Journal Article Bars, Itzhak ; Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Waterloo, Ontario N2L 2Y5 ; Chen, Shih-Hung ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We present analytic solutions to a class of cosmological models described by a canonical scalar field minimally coupled to gravity and experiencing self interactions through a hyperbolic potential. Using models and methods inspired by 2T-physics, we show how analytic solutions can be obtained in flat/open/closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universes. Among the analytic solutions, there are many interesting geodesically complete cyclic solutions in which the universe bounces at either zero or finite sizes. When geodesic completeness is imposed, it restricts models and their parameters to a certain parameter subspace, including some quantization conditions on initial conditions in the case of zero-size bounces, butmore »« less

Analytic treatment of complete and incomplete geodesics in Taub-NUT space-times

Journal Article Kagramanova, Valeria ; Kunz, Jutta ; Hackmann, Eva ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We present the complete set of analytical solutions of the geodesic equation in Taub-NUT space-times in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic functions. We systematically study the underlying polynomials and characterize the motion of test particles by its zeros. Since the presence of the 'Misner string' in the Taub-NUT metric has led to different interpretations, we consider these in terms of the geodesics of the space-time. In particular, we address the geodesic incompleteness at the horizons discussed by Misner and Taub [C. W. Misner and A. H. Taub, Sov. Phys. JETP 28, 122 (1969) [Zh. Eksp. Teor. Fiz. 55, 233 (1968)]],more »« less

Complete set of solutions of the geodesic equation in the space-time of a Schwarzschild black hole pierced by a cosmic string

Journal Article Hackmann, Eva ; Laemmerzahl, Claus ; Hartmann, Betti ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We study the geodesic equation in the space-time of a Schwarzschild black hole pierced by an infinitely thin cosmic string and give the complete set of analytical solutions of this equation for massive and massless particles, respectively. The solutions of the geodesic equations can be classified according to the particle's energy and angular momentum, the ratio between the component of the angular momentum aligned with the axis of the string and the total angular momentum, the deficit angle of the space-time and as well the horizon radius (or mass) of the black hole. For bound orbits of massive test particlesmore »« less

Analytic solutions of the geodesic equation in higher dimensional static spherically symmetric spacetimes

Journal Article Hackmann, Eva ; Laemmerzahl, Claus ; Kagramanova, Valeria ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The complete analytical solutions of the geodesic equation of massive test particles in higher dimensional Schwarzschild, Schwarzschild-(anti)de Sitter, Reissner-Nordstroem and Reissner-Nordstroem-(anti)de Sitter spacetimes are presented. Using the Jacobi inversion problem restricted to the theta divisor the explicit solution is given in terms of Kleinian sigma functions. The derived orbits depend on the structure of the roots of the characteristic polynomials which depend on the particle's energy and angular momentum, on the mass and the charge of the gravitational source, and the cosmological constant. We discuss the general structure of the orbits and show that due to the specific dimension-independent formmore »« less

Analytical solution of the geodesic equation in Kerr-(anti-) de Sitter space-times

Journal Article Hackmann, Eva ; Laemmerzahl, Claus ; Kagramanova, Valeria ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The complete analytical solutions of the geodesic equations in Kerr-de Sitter and Kerr-anti-de Sitter space-times are presented. They are expressed in terms of Weierstrass elliptic p, {zeta}, and {sigma} functions as well as hyperelliptic Kleinian {sigma} functions restricted to the one-dimensional {theta} divisor. We analyze the dependency of timelike geodesics on the parameters of the space-time metric and the test-particle and compare the results with the situation in Kerr space-time with vanishing cosmological constant. Furthermore, we systematically can find all last stable spherical and circular orbits and derive the expressions of the deflection angle of flyby orbits, the orbital frequenciesmore »« less
