In this work the accelerated-decelerated transition in a primordial Universe is investigated by using the dynamics of fermion fields within the context of Einstein-Cartan theory, where apart from the curvature the space-time is also described by a torsion field. The model analyzed here has only a fermion field as the source of the gravitational field. The term associated with the spin of the fermion field plays the role of the inflaton which contributes to an accelerated regime whereas the one related to the fermion mass behaves as a matter field and is the responsible for a decelerated regime. Hence, by taking into account the spin of a massive fermion field it is possible to characterize the transition from the accelerated to the decelerated periods of the primordial Universe.
Cosmological magnetic helicity and birefrigence from primordial torsion in Lorentz violation theories
宇宙学磁螺旋度被认为是宇宙中磁场放大的基本因素。最近Semikoz和Sokoloff [Phys Rev Lett 92(2004):131.301.]表明种子场的弱并不一定意味着磁宇宙螺旋度的弱。本文推导了Riemann-Cartan时空中基于平扭光子非最小耦合的发电机方程。从这个推导,我们可以从宇宙学的磁螺旋度,计算出一个平坦的扭转场产生银河发电机种子的必要条件。这个发电机方程的一个特点是电阻率依赖于Ricci标量曲率。这一特征也存在于湍流发电机模型中。这里的有效电导率是利用$R(Γ)F^{2}$拉格朗日的平扭模得到的,其中R是指Ricci-Cartan时空。计算了磁场的功率谱。光子的双折射与挠率的半极小耦合自然地产生洛伦兹破坏。尽管Dobado和Maroto [Mod Phys Lett A 12:3003(1997)]之前已经研究了原始扭转在光传播各向异性中的作用,但他们使用QED拉格朗日的费米子部分进行了研究,而我们使用光子部分获得了类似的结果。他们也使用了伪挠迹,而我们这里用挠迹本身来计算。
