Résumé On considère dans cet article l'influence du champ scalaire sans source sur la dynamique des étapes premières de l'expansion des modèles cosmologiques. On montre, en outre, la possibilité de l'existence de l'état initiale nonsingulier dans la cosmologie scalaire-tensorique de Brans-Dicke.
Abstract:
Zusammenfassung In diesem Artikel betrachtet man die Einwirkung des quellosen skalaren Feld auf die Dynamik der früheren Stadien der Ausdehnung der kosmologischen Modellen. Man zeigt auch die Möglichkeit der Existenz eines unsingulären ursprünglichen Zustand in der Brans-Dickeschen skalar-tensorischen Kosmologie.
Notes:
Abstract In connection with the problem of the initial singularity in the framework of the Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor isotropic cosmology, the dynamics of the early stages of the expansion is studied on the basis of the general analytical solutions for flat models withP=nε (0≤n≤1). The sourceless scalar field, which plays a role of effective source of the geometry, entirely changes the character of the initial expansion, whereas in the absense of it the dynamics of the models almost does not differ from GR-case. If the connecting parameter ω〈−6 then the sourceless scalar field removes the initial singularity for any equations of state, and provides the regular transition form the compression to the expansion through the non-stationary state with $$\dot \varphi \ne 0$$ . If ω is positive, the singularity of vacuum nature necessarily exists; the sourceless scalar-field being prevalent over the material sources (at least for P≤1/3ε) near the singularity. For P〉1/3ε parallel with the vacuum singularity the singular initial state with dominant role of gravitating matter is possible. In the course of expansion, the influence of gravitating matter and curvature-which as nonessential at the early stage in comparison with sourceless ϕ-field — becomes dominant, and all models approach the ‘Machian’ ones which differs slightly from corresponding GR-models. If ω is negative (ω〈−6) the sourceless ϕ-field slows down the initial expansion and increases essentially the real age of the Universe; it can also influence the primordial nuclear synthesis by diminishing in particular the content of He4. It is shown that a knowledge of the signĠ gives us the information about the nature of the initial Universe state.
