Cosmological Consequences of an Inhomogeneous Space-Time

Canfora, Fabrizio; Troisi, Antonio

Abstract

Astrophysical observations provide a picture of the universe as a 4-dim homogeneous and isotropic flat space-time dominated by an unknown form of dark energy. To achieve such a cosmology one has to consider in the early universe an inflationary era able to overcome problems of standard cosmological models. Here an inhomogeneous model is proposed which allows to obtain a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker behaviour far away from the inhomogeneities and it naturally describes structures formation. We also obtain that the cosmological term does not prevent structure formation, avoiding a fine tuning problem in initial conditions. The asymptotic exact solution have been calculated. A simple test with universe age prediction has been performed. A relation between the inhomogeneity, the breaking of time reversal, parity and the matter-antimatter asymmetry is briefly discussed.
