Thick de Sitter brane solutions in higher dimensions

We present thick de Sitter brane solutions which are supported by two interacting phantom scalar fields in five-, six-, and seven-dimensional spacetime. It is shown that for all cases regular solutions with anti-de Sitter asymptotic (5D problem) and a flat asymptotic far from the brane (6D and 7D cases) exist. We also discuss the stability of our solutions.

Non-singular solutions to Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations with a phantom scalar field

It is shown that the 4D Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations with a phantom scalar field (a scalar field with a negative sign in front of the kinetic energy term of its Lagrange density) has non-singular, spherically symmetry solutions. These solutions have a combination of features found in other spherically symmetric gravity plus field solutions. A stability analysis on these solutions indicates they are unstable.

A star harbouring a wormhole at its core

We consider a configuration consisting of a wormhole filled by a perfect fluid. Such a model can be applied to describe stars as well as neutron stars with a nontrivial topology. The presence of a tunnel allows for motion of the fluid, including oscillations near the core of the system. Choosing the polytropic equation of state for the perfect fluid, we obtain static regular solutions. Based on these solutions, we consider small radial oscillations of the configuration and show that the solutions are stable with respect to linear perturbations in the external region.

Linear stability of spherically symmetric and wormhole solutions supported by the sine-Gordon ghost scalar field

In this paper we investigate wormhole and spherically symmetric solutions in four-dimensional gravity plus a matter source consisting of a ghost scalar field with a sine-Gordon potential. For the wormhole solutions we also include the possibility of electric and/or magnetic charges. For both types of solutions we perform a linear stability analysis and show that the wormhole solutions are stable and that when one turns on the electric and/or magnetic field the solution remains stable. The linear stability analysis of the spherically symmetric solutions indicates that they can be stable or unstable depending on one of the parameters of the system. This result for the spherically symmetric solution is nontrivial since a previous investigation of four-dimensional gravity plus a ghost scalar field with a {lambda}{phi}{sup 4} interaction found only unstable spherically symmetric solutions. Both the wormhole and spherically symmetric solutions presented here asymptotically go to anti-de Sitter space-time.

On the self-similar motion of a gravitating Chaplygin fluid

Abstract A self-similar motion of the generalized Chaplygin gas in its own gravitational field is considered. The problem is studied numerically and analytically (in the limiting cases). It is shown that the model under consideration admits only expanding solutions. As the astrophysical application of the model, a description of rotating curves of spiral galaxies is suggested by using the analytical solutions obtained in the Letter.

Thick brane solutions supported by two spinor fields

Stationary thick brane solutions supported by two spinor fields are considered. Two spinor fields are used here to exclude the off-diagonal components of the energy-momentum tensor of the spinor fields. The trapping of a test scalar field on the brane is also considered.
