The generic sudden singularity in Brans–Dicke theory

JD Barrow, S Cotsakis, D Trachilis - The European Physical Journal C, 2020 - Springer
We construct a formal asymptotic series expansion for a general solution of the Brans–Dicke
equations with a fluid source near a sudden singularity. This solution contains 11 …

Infinity in string cosmology: A review through open problems

Quasi-isotropic expansion for a two-fluid cosmological model containing radiation and string gas

IM Khalatnikov, AY Kamenshchik… - Journal of Experimental …, 2019 - Springer
The quasi-isotropic expansion for a simple two-fluid cosmological model consisting of
radiation and string gas is constructed. Expressions for the first-order gradient-dependent …

The radiation instability in modified gravity

Lagrangian theories of gravity written as a system of evolution equations with constraints …

Generic regular universes in higher order gravity theories

S Cotsakis, D Trachilis, A Tsokaros - THE THIRTEENTH MARCEL …, 2015 - World Scientific
We review recent results on the Cauchy-Kowalevsky structure of theories with higher
derivatives in vacuum. We prove genericity of regularity of solutions under the assumption of …
