Simple inhomogeneous cosmological (toy) models

Journal Article Isidro, Eddy G. Chirinos ; Zimdahl, Winfried ; Vargas, Cristofher Zuñiga, E-mail: eddychirinos.isidro@cosmo-ufes.org, E-mail: czuniga@cbpf.br, E-mail: winfried.zimdahl@pq.cnpq.br - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Based on the Lemaître-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) metric we consider two flat inhomogeneous big-bang models. We aim at clarifying, as far as possible analytically, basic features of the dynamics of the simplest inhomogeneous models and to point out the potential usefulness of exact inhomogeneous solutions as generalizations of the homogeneous configurations of the cosmological standard model. We discuss explicitly partial successes but also potential pitfalls of these simplest models. Although primarily seen as toy models, the relevant free parameters are fixed by best-fit values using the Joint Light-curve Analysis (JLA)-sample data. On the basis of a likelihood analysis we find that amore »« less

Cosmological constant from the ghost: A toy model

Journal Article Urban, Federico R ; Zhitnitsky, Ariel R - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We suggest that the solution to the cosmological vacuum energy puzzle is linked to the infrared sector of the effective theory of gravity interacting with standard model fields. We propose a specific solvable two dimensional model where our proposal can be explicitly tested. We analyze the 2d Schwinger model on a 2-torus and in curved 2d space, mostly exploiting the properties of its topological susceptibility, its links with the nontrivial topology or deviations from spacetime flatness, and its relations to the real 4d world. The Kogut-Susskind ghost (which is a direct analogue of the Veneziano ghost in 4d) on amore »« less

Toy cosmology: Radiation from moving mirrors, and the final equilibrium state and the instantaneous model of particle

Journal Article Castagnino, M ; Ferraro, R - Ann. Phys. (N.Y.); (United States)

The behaviour of two equal mirrors when they are moved under the force of a quantized scalar massless field is studied via a numerical solution of the system of equations. The field force on each surface is deduced using a variational principle. Then it is proved that the mirrors evolve to a final equilibrium state (with constant velocity), if an external energy greater than the initial field energy is given to the system, independently of how the work that produces the energy is done. Furthermore an instantaneous model of partcle is proposed and the Casimir Energy for the moving mirrorsmore »« less

TOWARD A MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC THEORY OF THE STATIONARY ACCRETION SHOCK INSTABILITY: TOY MODEL OF THE ADVECTIVE-ACOUSTIC CYCLE IN A MAGNETIZED FLOW

Journal Article Guilet, Jerome ; Foglizzo, Thierry - Astrophysical Journal

The effect of a magnetic field on the linear phase of the advective-acoustic instability is investigated as a first step toward a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory of the stationary accretion shock instability taking place during stellar core collapse. We study a toy model where the flow behind a planar stationary accretion shock is adiabatically decelerated by an external potential. Two magnetic field geometries are considered: parallel or perpendicular to the shock. The entropy-vorticity wave, which is simply advected in the unmagnetized limit, separates into five different waves: the entropy perturbations are advected, while the vorticity can propagate along the field linesmore »« less

Towards the graviton from spinfoams: Higher order corrections in the 3D toy model

Journal Article Livine, Etera R ; Speziale, Simone ; Willis, Joshua L ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We consider the recent calculation by Rovelli of the graviton propagator in the spinfoam formalism. Within the 3D toy model introduced by Speziale, we test how the spinfoam formalism can be used to construct the perturbative expansion of graviton amplitudes. Although the 3D graviton is a pure gauge, one can choose to work in a gauge where it is not zero and thus reproduce the structure of the 4D perturbative calculations. We compute explicitly the next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading orders, corresponding to one-loop and two-loop corrections. We show that while the first arises entirely from the expansion of the Regge actionmore »« less
