Abstract
The stage of a super-early (primordial) Universe is considered on the basis of Poincare gauge theory of gravity in the presence of a cosmological scalar field with an extremely weak self-action. For this purpose, field equations were obtained for a homogeneous and isotropic metric. A solution has been found at which the scale factor experiences an inflationary increase, and the effective cosmological constant has a sharp decrease from a huge value near the Big Bang to a small modern value. This fact solves the “cosmological constant problem.” It is predicted that the effective cosmological constant decreases extremely slowly throughout the lifetime of the Universe.
期刊介绍:
Gravitation and Cosmology is a peer-reviewed periodical, dealing with the full range of topics of gravitational physics and relativistic cosmology and published under the auspices of the Russian Gravitation Society and Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia. The journal publishes research papers, review articles and brief communications on the following fields: theoretical (classical and quantum) gravitation; relativistic astrophysics and cosmology, exact solutions and modern mathematical methods in gravitation and cosmology, including Lie groups, geometry and topology; unification theories including gravitation; fundamental physical constants and their possible variations; fundamental gravity experiments on Earth and in space; related topics. It also publishes selected old papers which have not lost their topicality but were previously published only in Russian and were not available to the worldwide research community
