Interacting spinor and scalar fields in Bianchi cosmology

Abstract

A self-consistent system of interacting spinor and scalar fields is considered within the scope of Bianchi type VI cosmological model filled with a perfect fluid. The contribution of the cosmological constant ($\Lambda$-term) is taken into account as well. Exact self-consistent solutions to the field equations are obtained for a special choice of spatial inhomogeneity and the interaction terms of the spinor and scalar fields. It has been found that some special choice of metric functions can give rise to a singularity-free solutions independent of the value and sign of the $\Lambda$ term. It is also shown that the introduction of a positive $\Lambda$, the most widespread kind of dark energy, leads to the rapid growth of the universe, while the negative one, corresponding to an additional gravitational energy gives rise to an oscillatory or non-periodic mode of expansion. The role of the spatial inhomogeneity in the evolution of the universe is clarified within the scope of the considered models.
