Nonlinear spinor field in Bianchi type-I cosmology: accelerated regimes

Abstract

A self-consistent system of interacting nonlinear spinor and scalar fields within the scope of a Bianchi type-I cosmological model filled with perfect fluid is considered. Exact self-consistent solutions to the corresponding field equations are obtained. The role of spinor field in the evolution of the Universe is studied. It is shown that the spinor field gives rise to an accelerated mode of expansion of the Universe. At the early stage of evolution the spinor field nonlinearity generates the acceleration while at the later stage it is done by the nonzero spinor mass.
