ccgrg: The symbolic tensor analysis package with tools for general relativity
Wolfram Library Archive, vol. 8848 (2014).
[abstract] [journal]

Abstract:
Riemann and Weyl curvature, covariant derivative, Lie derivative, the first and the second fundamental form on hyper-surfaces, as well as basic notions of relativistic hydrodynamics (expansion, vorticity, shear) are predefined functions of the package. New tensors are easy to define. Instructions, basic examples, and some more advanced examples are attached to the package. Characteristic feature of the ccgrg package is the specific coupling between the functional programming and the Parker-Christensen index convention. This causes that no particular tools to rising/lowering tensor indices neither to the tensor contractions are needed. Tensor formulas are written in the form close to that of classical textbooks in GRG, with the only difference that the summation symbol appears explicitly. Tensors are functions, not matrixes, and their components are evaluated lazily. This means that only these components which are indispensable to realize the final task are computed. The memoization technique prevents repetitive evaluation of the same quantities. This saves both, time and memory.

Consistent initial data for CMD perturbations
(2011).
[abstract] [preprint]

Abstract:
We investigate the initial condition which are simultaneously consistent with perturbation equations in both the radiation-dominated and the mater-dominated epochs. The exact formula for the spectrum transfer-function is derived.

Momentum of cosmological acoustic field
(2011).
[abstract] [preprint]

Abstract:
The acoustic spacetime corresponding to perturbed Friedman-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker universe inherit the space isometries from the original FLRW model, but essentially differs in dynamics. The scale factor manifestly depends on the equation of state of the matter content. Despite the higher complexity of the background evolution the perturbation equation in this space is substantially simpler: the density perturbations obey d'Alembert equation. Canonical formalism reconstructed in the acoustic spacetime enables one to employ the Klein-Gordon scalar product. Consequently, the Fourier decomposition of the perturbation field provide the time-independent Fourier coefficients and the time-independent spectrum. The perturbation spectrum does not depend of the choice of the Cauchy hypersurface from which the data are collected. Noether constants associated with the six-parameter isometry group define the components of the momentum, hyperbolic momentum and angular momentum of sound.

The acoustic wave equation in the expanding universe. Sachs-Wolfe theorem
The Mathematica Journal, vol. 13 (2011).
[abstract] [journal] [cdf]

Abstract:
This article considers the acoustic field propagating in the radiation-dominated universe of arbitrary space curvature. The field equations are reduced to the d’Alembert equation in an auxiliary static Robertson-Walker spacetime and dispersion relations are discussed. *supported by the grant from The John Templeton Foundation

Evolution of density perturbations in a realistic universe
Gen. Rel. Grav., vol. 37, pp. 2063-2082 (2005).
[abstract] [preprint] [journal]

Abstract:
Prompted by the recent more precise determination of the basic cosmological parameters and growing evidence that the matter-energy content of the universe is now dominated by dark energy and dark matter we present the general solution of the equation that describes the evolution of density perturbations in the linear approximation. It turns out that as in the standard CDM model the density perturbations grow very slowly during the radiation dominated epoch and their amplitude increases by a factor of about 4000 in the matter and later dark energy dominated epoch of expansion of the universe.

Density Perturbations in Open Models of Early Universe with Positive Cosmological Constant
Acta Phys. Pol. , vol. B36, pp. 2149-2164 (2005).
[abstract] [journal]

Abstract:
The analytical solutions of the density perturbation equation in the Friedman--Lema\^{\i}tre--Robertson--Walker (FLRW) open cosmological models with radiation and positive cosmological constant are provided. The perturbations are of two types: the first propagating as acoustical waves, and the second of non-wave nature. It is shown that there occurs dispersion on curvature and cosmological constant for acoustical perturbations. The wave solutions have anomalous dispersion.
