New inflationary exact solution from Lie symmetries

For the inflaton field we determine a new exact solution by using the Lie symmetry analysis. Specifically, we construct a second-order differential master equation for arbitrary scalar field potential by assuming that the spectral index for the density perturbations $n_{s}$ and the scalar to tensor ratio $r$ are related as $n_{s}-1=h\left( r\right) $. Function $h\left( r\right) $ is classified according to the admitted Lie symmetries for the master equation. The possible admitted Lie symmetries form the $A_{2}$, $A_{3,2}$, $A_{3,3}$ and $sl\left( 3,R\right) $ Lie algebras. The new inflationary solution is recovered by the Lie symmetries of the $A_{3,3}$ algebra. Scalar field potential is derived explicitly, while we compare the resulting spectral indices with the observations.

Painlevé analysis for the cosmological field equations in Weyl Integrable Spacetime

We apply singularity analysis to investigate the integrability properties of the gravitational field equations in Weyl Integrable Spacetime for a spatially flat Friedmann--Lemaître--Robertson--Walker background spacetime induced with an ideal gas. We find that the field equations possess the Painlevé property in the presence of the cosmological constant and the analytic solution is given by a left Laurent expansion.

Analytic solution and Noether symmetries for the hyperbolic inflationary model in the Jordan frame

The Noether symmetry analysis is applied for the study of a multifield cosmological model in a spatially flat FLRW background geometry. The gravitational Action Integral consists of two scalar fields, the Brans-Dicke field and a second scalar field minimally coupled to gravity. However, the two scalar fields interact in the kinetic terms. This multifield has been found to describe the equivalent of hyperbolic inflation in the Jordan frame. The application of Noether's theorems constrain the free parameters of the model that conservation laws exist. We find that the field equations form an integrable dynamical system and the analytic solution is derived.

Symmetries and conservation laws for the generalized $n$-dimensional Ermakov system

We revise recent results on the classification of the generalized three-dimensional Hamiltonian Ermakov system. We show that a statement published recently is incorrect, while the solution for the classification problem was incomplete. We present the correct classification for the three-dimensional system by using results which related the background space with the dynamics. Finally, we extend our results for the generalized $n$% -dimensional Hamiltonian Ermakov system.

Hyperbolic inflationary model with nonzero curvature

We consider a cosmological model consisting of two scalar fields defined in the hyperbolic plane known as hyperbolic inflation. For the background space, we consider a homogeneous and isotropic spacetime with nonzero curvature. We study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions and we search for attractors in the expanding regime. We prove that two hyperbolic inflationary stages are stable solutions that can solve the flatness problem and describe acceleration for both open and closed models, and additionally we obtain a Milne-like attractor solution for the open model. We also investigate the contracting branch obtaining mirror solutions with the opposite dynamical behaviours.

Lie Symmetries, Painlevé analysis and global dynamics for the temporal equation of radiating stars

We study the temporal equation of radiating stars by using three powerful methods for the analysis of nonlinear differential equations. Specifically, we investigate the global dynamics for the given master ordinary differential equation to understand the evolution of solutions for various initial conditions as also to investigate the existence of asymptotic solutions. Moreover, with the application of Lie's theory, we can reduce the order of the master differential equation, while an exact similarity solution is determined. Finally, the master equation possesses the Painlevé property, which means that the analytic solution can be expressed in terms of a Laurent expansion.

Temporal evolution of a radiating star via Lie symmetries

In this work, we present for the first time the general solution of the temporal evolution equation arising from the matching of a conformally flat interior to the Vaidya solution. This problem was first articulated by Banerjee et al. (A. Banerjee, S. B. Dutta Choudhury, and Bidyut K. Bhui, Phys. Rev. D, 40 (670) 1989) in which they provided a particular solution to the temporal equation. This simple exact solution has been widely utilized in modeling dissipative collapse with the most notable result being a prediction of the avoidance of the horizon as the collapse proceeds. We study the dynamics of dissipative collapse arising from the general solution obtained via the method of symmetries and of the singularity analysis. We show that the end-state of collapse for our model is significantly different from the widely used linear solution.

Unified dark sectors in scalar-torsion theories of gravity

We present a unified description of the matter and dark energy epochs, using a class of scalar-torsion theories. We provide a Hamiltonian description, and by applying Noether's theorem and by requiring the field equations to admit linear-in-momentum conservation laws we obtain two specific classes of scalar-field potentials. We extract analytic solutions and we perform a detailed dynamical analysis. We show that the system possesses critical points that correspond to scaling solutions in which the effective, total equation-of-state parameter is close to zero and points in which it is equal to the cosmological constant value $-1$. Therefore, during evolution, the Universe remains for sufficiently long times at the epoch corresponding to dust-matter domination, while at later times it enters the accelerated epoch and it eventually results in the de Sitter phase. Finally, in contrast to other unified scenarios, such as Chaplygin gas-based models as well as Horndeski-based constructions, the present scenario is free from instabilities and pathologies at the perturbative level.

Hyperbolic inflation in the Jordan frame

We consider a multi-scalar field model in the Jordan frame which can be seen as a two-scalar field model where the Brans-Dicke field interacts in the kinetic part with the second scalar field. This theory under a conformal transformation reduces to the hyperbolic inflation. We show that scaling solutions and the de Sitter universe are provided by theory. In the study of asymptotic dynamics, we determine an attractor where all the fluid sources contribute in the cosmological fluid. This attractor is always a spiral and it can be seen as the analogue of the hyperbolic inflation in the Jordan frame.

Role of the remnant symmetries in gravitational theories based on absolute parallelism: a 2D standpoint

By using simplified 2D gravitational, non-local Lorentz invariant actions constructed upon the torsion tensor, we discuss the physical meaning of the remnant symmetries associated with the near-horizon (Milne) geometry experienced by a radial observer in Schwarzschild spacetime. We then fully characterize the remnant symmetries corresponding to this near-horizon 2D geometry by solving the motion equations adapted to 2D Milne space. This symmetries, which represent special or privileged \emph{diads}, acquire the form of uniformly accelerated (Rindler) observers whose constant acceleration is proportional to the black hole mass $M$.

An extended analysis for a generalized Chaplygin gas model

In this work, we have extended the analysis on the generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) model as the unification of dark energy and dark matter. Specifically, we have shown that the model of our consideration known as the new generalized Chaplygin gas (NGCG) model, admits a scalar field description, which means that there exist a minimally coupled scalar field for a given scalar field potential where the equation of state is that of the NGCG. With the use of the later property we can construct the slow-roll parameters and derive the corresponding values for the spectral indices for the tensor to scalar perturbation and for the density perturbations. We have also studied the growth rate of matter perturbations in the NGCG scenario. Finally, we have studied the viability of the generalized second law of thermodynamics by assuming that the dynamical apparent horizon in a NGCG universe is endowed with Hawking temperature and Bekenstein entropy.

Modified Brans-Dicke cosmology with Minimum Length Uncertainty

We consider a modification of the Brans-Dicke gravitational Action Integral inspired by the existence of a minimum length uncertainty for the scalar field. In particular, the kinetic part of the Brans-Dicke scalar field is modified such that the equation of motion for the scalar field be modified according to the quadratic Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP). For the background geometry, we assume the homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann--Lema\^ıtre--Robertson--Walker metric. We investigate the dynamics and the cosmological evolution for the dynamical variables of the theory and we compare the results with the unmodified Brans-Dicke theory. It follows that in consideration because of the additional degrees of freedom in the energy-momentum tensor the dynamical variables describe various aspects of the cosmological history. This is one of the first studies on the effects of GUP in a Machian gravitational theory.

Global dynamics of the hyperbolic Chiral-Phantom model

We perform a detailed analysis of the asymptotic behavior of a multifield cosmological model with phantom terms. Specifically, we consider the Chiral-Phantom model consisting of two scalar fields with a mixed kinetic term, while one scalar field has negative kinetic energy, that is, it has phantom properties. We show that the Hubble function can change sign, and we study the global evolution of the field equation in the finite and infinity regions with the use of Poincaré variables. We find that in the Chiral-Phantom model the limit of the quintessence scalar field is recovered while the cosmological evolution differs from the standard hyperbolic theory. Finally, the linear cosmological perturbations are studied.

Dynamical analysis and cosmological evolution in Weyl integrable gravity

We investigate the cosmological evolution for the physical parameters in Weyl integrable gravity in a Friedmann--Lema\^ıtre--Robertson--Walker universe with zero spatially curvature. For the matter component, we assume that it is an ideal gas, and of the Chaplygin gas. From the Weyl integrable gravity a scalar field is introduced by a geometric approach which provides an interaction with the matter component. We calculate the stationary points for the field equations and we study their stability properties. Furthermore, we solve the inverse problem for the case of an ideal gas and prove that the gravitational field equations can follow from the variation of a Lagrangian function. Finally, variational symmetries are applied for the construction of analytic and exact solutions.

Dynamics of Chiral Cosmology

We perform a detailed analysis for the dynamics of Chiral cosmology in a spatially flat Friedmann-Lema\^ıtre-Robertson-Walker universe with a mixed potential term. The stationary points are categorized in four families. Previous results in the literature are recovered while new phases in the cosmological evolution are found. From our analysis we find nine different cosmological solutions, the eight describe scaling solutions, where the one is that of a pressureless fluid, while only one de Sitter solution is recovered.

Global dynamics and evolution for the Szekeres system with nonzero cosmological constant term

The Szekeres system with cosmological constant term describes the evolution of the kinematic quantities for Einstein field equations in $\mathbb{R}^4$. In this study, we investigate the behavior of trajectories in the presence of cosmological constant. It has been shown that the Szekeres system is a Hamiltonian dynamical system. It admits at least two conservation laws, $h$ and $I_{0}$ which indicate the integrability of the Hamiltonian system. We solve the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, and we reduce the Szekeres system from $\mathbb{R}^4$ to an equivalent system defined in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Global dynamics are studied where we find that there exists an attractor in the finite regime only for positive valued cosmological constant and $I_0<2.08$. Otherwise, trajectories reach infinity. For $I_ {0}>0$ the origin of trajectories in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is also at infinity. Finally, we investigate the evolution of physical properties by using dimensionless variables different from that of Hubble-normalization conducing to a dynamical system in $\mathbb{R}^5$. We see that the attractor at the finite regime in $\mathbb{R}^5$ is related with the de Sitter universe for a positive cosmological constant.

Periodic solutions from Lie symmetries for the generalized Chen-Lee-Liu equation

The nonlinear generalized Chen-Lee-Liu 1+1 evolution equation which describes the propagation of an optical pulse inside a monomode fiber is studied by using the method of Lie symmetries and the singularity analysis. Specifically, we determine the Lie point symmetries of the Chen-Lee-Liu equation and we reduce the equation by using the Lie invariants in order to determine similarity solutions. The solutions that we found have periodic behaviour and describe optical solitons. Furthermore, the singularity analysis is applied in order to write algebraic solutions of the Chen-Lee-Liu with the use of Laurent expansions. The latter analysis support the result for the existence of periodic behaviour of the solutions.

New Anisotropic Exact Solution in Multifield Cosmology

In the case of two-scalar field cosmology and, specifically for the Chiral model, we determine an exact solution for the field equations with a anisotropic background space. The exact solution can describe anisotropic inflation with a Kantowski-Sachs geometry and it can be seen as the anisotropic analogue of the hyperbolic inflation. Finally, we investigate the evolution for the homogeneous perturbations around the new asymptotic solution.
