In this Letter, we propose a new and model-independent cosmological test for the distance–duality (DD) relation, η = DL(z)(1 + z)−2/DA(z) 1, where DL DA are, respectively, luminosity angular diameter distances. For consider two sub-samples of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) taken from Constitution data whereas distances are provided by samples galaxy clusters compiled De Filippis et al. Bonamente combining Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect X-ray surface brightness. The SNe redshifts each sub-sample were...
Observations in the cosmological domain are heavily dependent on validity of cosmic distance-duality (DD) relation, D_L(z) (1 + z)^{2}/D_{A}(z) = 1, an exact result required by Etherington reciprocity theorem where and D_A(z) are, respectively, luminosity angular diameter distances. In limit very small redshifts this ratio is trivially satisfied. Measurements Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) X-rays combined with DD relation have been used to determine D_A(z)from galaxy clusters. This...
The angular diameter distances toward galaxy clusters can be determined with measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and X-ray surface brightness combined validity distance-duality relation, $D_L(z) (1 + z)^{2}/D_{A}(z) = 1$, where $D_L(z)$ $D_A(z)$ are, respectively, luminosity distances. This combination enables us to probe cluster physics or even test relation itself. We explore these possibilities based on two different, but complementary approaches. Firstly, in order constrain...
Abstract The Alcubierre warp drive metric is a spacetime geometry featuring distortion, called bubble, where massive particle inside it acquires global superluminal velocities, or speeds. This work presents solutions of the Einstein equations for having fluid matter as gravity source. energy–momentum tensor considered has two contents, perfect and parametrized (PPF), tentative more flexible model whose aim to explore possibilities with positive density content.

Evidence is presented that the galaxy distribution can be described as a fractal system in redshift range of FDF survey. The dimension $D$ was derived using volume number densities spatially homogeneous standard cosmological model with $\Omega_{m_0}=0.3$, $\Omega_{\Lambda_0}=0.7$ and $H_0=70 \; \mbox{km} {\mbox{s}}^{-1} {\mbox{Mpc}}^{-1}$. ratio between differential integral $\gamma$ $\gamma^\ast$ obtained from red blue galaxies provides direct method to estimate $D$, implying vary...
This paper discusses the empirical validity of Goodwin's (1967) macroeconomic model growth with cycles by assuming that individual income distribution Brazilian society is described Gompertz-Pareto (GPD). formed combination Gompertz curve, representing overwhelming majority population (~99%), Pareto power law, tiny richest part (~1%). In line original model, we identify Gompertzian workers and Paretian component class capitalists. Since GPD parameters are obtained for each year Goodwin...

Abstract The Alcubierre metric is a spacetime geometry where massive particle inside distortion, called warp bubble, able to travel at velocities arbitrarily higher than the velocity of light, feature known as drive. This consequence general relativity, which allows for global superluminal but restricts local speeds subluminal ones required by special relativity.

A spatially homogeneous Bianchi type VI0 model containing a viscous fluid in the presence of an axial magnetic field has been studied. barotropic equation state together with pair linear relations among square root matter density, shear scalar, and expansion scalar have assumed. Solutions are obtained field, only two special cases, which comparatively simpler. The complete solutions for this absence also obtained. former case however, does not effect cause any major modification fundamental...

This paper aims to connect the theory of relativistic cosmology number counts with astronomical data, practice, and behind galaxy luminosity function (LF). We treat galaxies as building blocks universe but ignore most aspects their internal structures by considering them point sources. However, we do consider general morphological types in order use data from redshift surveys, where some kind classification is adopted. start a treatment for spacetime, not just...
