Nonsingular G2 stiff fluid cosmologies

Abstract: Gravitational waves in vacuum spacetimes with cosmological constant. I. Classification and geometrical properties of nontwisting type N solutions J. Math. Phys. 40, 4495 (1999) In this paper we analyze Abelian diagonal orthogonally transitive space-times with spacelike orbits for which the matter content is a stiff perfect fluid. The Einstein equations are cast in a suitable form for determining their geodesic completeness. A sufficient condition on the metric of these space-times is obtained, that is fairly e… Show more

“…The conditions are fairly easy to implement in terms of a growing function H and a solution to the plane-wave equation with very few restrictions. This is much the same as it happened for stiff perfect fluids [14]. Regular models are pretty general among radiation spacetimes.…”

“…The model conforms with standard cosmology (obeys the Einstein equations with Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric) with this unusual form of matter. While we focus on the Holographic Universe model, a number of authors have considered cosmological aspects of such a stiff fluid in the literature and our conclusions generalize to those models as well [27]- [37], [55]. The microphysical interpretation of this fluid is a dense gas of black holes [23] which is argued by BF to emerge naturally from a quantumgravity regime.…”

“…Finally, the integrability conditions of the overdetermined system (24) - (25) are equivalent to the equations (21) - (23), guarantying so the existence of solutions. Now, as we can see from the above system of equations, the stiff fluids equations are easy to integrate due to the fact that, as a consequence of the stiff equation of state p = ρ, the equations for the metric functions U and W decouple from the pressure [29]. In order to solve the system (21) - (25), we first consider solutions of the equation (21) of the general form…”
