Conformal scalar fields, isotropic singularities and conformal cyclic cosmologies

Lübbe, Christian

Understand

We analyse spacetimes with a conformal scalar field source, a cosmological constant and a quartic self-interaction term for the scalar field.

  • We also consider additional matter contents in the form of Maxwell and Yang-Mills fields or radiation fluids.
  • Existence theorems for weakly asymptotically flat spacetimes are given.
  • We give a generalisation of Bekenstein's result [Ann.
