Exact solution of the Einstein-Skyrme model in a Kantowski-Sachs spacetime (1612.06197v1)

Abstract: We consider a Skyrme fluid with a constant radial profile in locally rotational Kantowski-Sachs spacetime. The Skyrme fluid is an anisotropic fluid with zero heat flux and with an equation of state parameter $w_{S}$ that $\left\vert w_{s}\right\vert \leq\frac{1}{3}$. From the Einstein field equations we define the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. For the last equation we perform a Lie symmetry classification and we determine the invariant solutions for the wavefunction of the model. Moreover from the Lie symmetries of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation we construct Noetherian conservation laws for the field equations which we use in order to write the solution in closed form. We show that all pf the cosmological parameters are expressed in terms of the scale factor of the two dimensional sphere of the Kantowski-Sachs spacetime. Finally from the application of Noether's theorem for the Wheeler-DeWitt equation we derive conservation laws for the wavefunction of the universe.
