Spinor Field in FLRW Cosmology
Within the scope of a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmological model we study the role of a nonlinear spinor field in the evolution of the universe. In doing so, we exploit the FLRW models given in both Cartesian and spherical coordinates. It is found that if the FLRW model is given i...

description | Within the scope of a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmological model we study the role of a nonlinear spinor field in the evolution of the universe. In doing so, we exploit the FLRW models given in both Cartesian and spherical coordinates. It is found that if the FLRW model is given in the spherical coordinates the energy-momentum tensor (EMT) of the spinor field possesses nontrivial non-diagonal components, which is not the case for Cartesian coordinates. These non-diagonal components do not depend on either the spinor field nonlinearity or the parameter <i>k</i> that defines the type of curvature of the FLRW model. The presence of such components imposes some restrictions on the spinor field. The problem is studied for open, flat and close geometries and the spinor field is used to simulate different types of sources including dark energies. Some qualitative numerical solutions are given. |
