We have obtained classes of cosmological models where the two fluids are in interactive phase and another when the two fluids are non-interacting. These models have one or two distinct real singularities depending upon the sign of the constant of integration. The behavior of associated fluid parameters and kinematical parameters has been discussed in detail.

Introduction The detection of 2.73°K isotropic cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) by Penzias and Wilson has been a notable observational pillar on which stands the entire speculative edifice of the theoretical cosmology. The discovery of CMBR encouraged many cosmologists to investigate Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) cosmological models, which contain both matter and radiation [1–3]. In the two-fluid model, one fluid represents the matter content of the universe and another fluid is chosen to model the CMBR. In the last decade space investigations have detected anisotropies in CMBR at various angular scales. In 1992, Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) discovered temperature variations in the CMB level of 1 part in 100,000 [4]. Proponents of inflation believe that there anisotropies encode immense wealth of information about various parameters of the universe. More about CMBR anisotropy is expected to be uncovered by the investigation of Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP) and Cosmic Background Radiation Anisotropy Satellite–Satellite for Measurement of Background Anisotropies (COBRAS– *Corresponding author, E-mail: sanjayoli@rediffmail.com SAMBA), known as Planck Surveyor satellite. From different instruments such as, Cosmic Anisotropy Telescope (CAT), Bolometeres and High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT), we are able to detect and measure anisotropy more precisely. The observed anisotropies of CMB at various angular scales make a point of fresh look in the investigation of two-fluid models, especially those spacetimes shows anisotropy. Bianchi space-times provide spatially homogeneous and anisotropic models of universe as against the homogeneous and isotropic FRW models. Billyard and Coley [5] have investigated spatially flat isotropic cosmological models which contain a scalar field with an exponential potential and a perfect fluid with a linear equation of state. Recently, Kalita et al. [6] have compared matter and radiation densities with a constant vacuum energy density of positive cosmological constant, from a few seconds of the universe till the present epoch. Two-fluid cosmological models in Bianchi I, II, V, and VI0 space-times with co-moving twofluid source and different geometries have been investigated by a number of authors [7–12] for the description of the large-scale behavior of the actual universe. Saha [13] studied the behavior of matter distribution in the framework of Bianchi type II space-time. In this paper we have presented general relativistic, new two-fluid cosmological models in Bianchi VI0 space-time and the physical behavior of the model for interacting and non-interacting case has been studied in detail.

One of the additional relations will be provided by the equation of the state of the matter field, for which we consider the c - law of equation of state. Another relation in X and Y will be needed to solve the Eq. (16). Assuming field variables X and Y in power law form with c - law of equation of state for the matter field, Coley and Dunn [12] have obtained the solution of field Eqs. (9–13).

From Eq.

This shows that the universe starts evolving with zero volume at t = 0. In view of Eq. (30) we note that r2 is non-negative for all values of t (0 \ t \ ?) and drops to zero at infinite time (t ? ?). Thus the model is anisotropic for 0 \ t \ ?. q is also non-negative for all t and is independent of the sign of D in the case pffiffiffi ð33 2Þ  n\1: For 0\n\ 34, Xm [ 0 for t [ t1 with 4 Xm(t1) = 0, whereas for 34  n\1, Xm is negative for all t and independent of the sign of D. The total energy density (Xm ? Xr) lies between 0 to 1 and its value decreases as n increases for the large values of D and t. We also find that 758 S Oli the ratio r/h does not tend to zero as t ? ?, which indicates that the shear does not tend to zero faster than expansion scalar. This indicates that the model does not tend to isotropy for large value of t and therefore it remains 8pGqr ¼ 8ð1nÞ 3 4ð1nÞ 6ðn  1Þð4n  3Þt 3 þ 2ðn2  1ÞD h i 8pGqm ¼ 4ð1nÞ 3t2 D þ t 3 4ð1nÞ þ ð1  nÞð25n  10ÞDt 3  3ðn2  1ÞD2 h i 4ð1nÞ 2 3t2 D þ t 3 h ih i 4ð1nÞ 4ð1nÞ 6ðn  1Þð4n  3Þt 3 þ 2ðn2  1ÞD D þ t 3 9ð1  2nÞðn  1Þt qm ¼ 8ð1nÞ 4ð1nÞ qr 9ð1  2nÞðn  1Þt 3 þ ð1  nÞð25n  10ÞDt 3  3ðn2  1ÞD2 anisotropic throughout the evolution. Here, we get the following two cases depending upon the sign of D: Case (i) D C 0. In this case, the solution has point type singularity at t = 0. For c = 1 and k = 0, Xr [ 0 for 0 B t \ t2 in the case 0\n\ 12 with Xr(t2) = 0. For pffiffiffi ð33 2Þ 1 ,q is negative for all t. For 0\n\  n\1, X r 4 2 is negative in the interval t3 \ t \ t4 where q(t3, t4) = 0. h is negative for all t. Case (ii) D \ 0. In this case, the solution have two point singularity, viz., at t = 0 and t = t*. For c = 1 and k = 0, Xr [ 0 for 0 B t \ t5 in the case 0\n  12 with D¼ ð31Þ t0 ¼ 5  1017 s; In this section we have presented a detailed study of the solutions of Eqs.

In the case 12 \n  0:533747 and 0.9528047 B n \ 1, Xr [ 0 for t6 [ t \ t7 with Xr(t6, t7) = 0. For 0.533747 \ n \ 0.9528047, Xr is non-negative for all t. h is negative in the interval t8 \ t \ t* with h(t8) = 0. Thus the model expands in the interval 0 \ t \ t8, contracts in the interval t8 \ t \ t*. Finally, it expands forever for t [ t*. ð32Þ ð36Þ where V0 ¼ 24p G qr0 t02 : ð37Þ In view of Eq. (36), we note that the sign of the constant D depends upon the value of n and V0. D assumes positive as well as negative values in the case 0 \ n \ 0.500065 and 0.9999021 B n \ 0.9999347. Also, D \ 0 for 0.5000652 B n B 0.5338026, 0.9527499 B n \ 0.9999021 and 0.9999347 \ n \ 1. However, for n1 \ n \ n2, D is imaginary, where n1 and n2 are the roots of the equation: 409n2  608 n þ 208 þ 16 V0 ¼ 0: ð38Þ In view of Eqs. (34) and (35), the roots of Eq. (38) are given by n1 ¼ 0:5338026 and n2 ¼ 0:9527499: ð39Þ Two-fluid cosmological models 759 From Eq. (31), we further note that qm is negative for all t in the case 34 \n\1. Thus our model is physically meaningful in the range 0 \ n \ 0.533802 and accordingly we shall discuss the behavior of the parameters in the following. We come across to three types of situations depending upon the constant D. Case (i) D [ 0. In this case, we shall discuss it under two sub-cases depending upon the parameter n: Case (ia). 0 \ n \ 0.5. Here qm for t [ t1, with qm(t1) = 0; for t [ t1, qm is initially zero and increases till it attains its maximum value and decreases monotonically afterwards. qr [ 0 and monotonically decreasing function of t for 0 B t \ t2, with qr(t2) = 0. It however, to be noted that since there is a single conservation law and qm ? qr [ 0 for t [ t2, the validity of the model holds beyond t2. We further note that, for pffiffiffi  0\n\ 3  3 2 =4, the model displays inflation in the interval t3 \ t \ t4, where ðt3 ; t4 Þ " 3 pffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi #4ð1nÞ ð4n  7n þ 1ÞD  ð1  nÞ 16n2  24n þ 1D ¼ nð2  3nÞ have, D = 3.5003649 9 1011 and qm0 ¼ 6:8618075 1030 gc3 . Case (iiib). 0.5 \ n B n1. The behavior of qm is similar to that in the preceding case. qr [ 0 for t6 \ t \ t7 with qr(t6,t7) = 0. A physically meaningful model exists in the finite interval t* B t B t6. In this case, the behavior of physical parameters qm and qr is similar to that in case (iiia). Also, this corresponds to the range, 5:854231  1030  qm0 \6:8618075  1030 for the matter density at the present epoch. Here, we have obtained classes of models portraying the epoch when two fluids are interacting in phase. The fluid parameters qm, qr and qm/qr behave reasonably. Here, one of the classes of model shows an inflationary epoch in a finite future. For particular values of qr0, t0 and n, we obtain range for matter density for the present epoch which is close to the observation limits. 7. Non-interacting models 2 ð40Þ it is to be noted that t1 \ t2 \ t3 \ t4. Thus, we have obtain realistic models which an inflationary epoch in a finite future. In view of Eqs. (34–37), the range for n, viz., 0 \ n \ 0.5 corresponds to the range for the matter density at the present epoch 2:9127006  1031 \ qm0 \2:3844505  1030 . Case (ib) 0.5 B n \ 0.5000652.In this case, the behavior of qm is similar to that in preceding case. qr [ 0 for all t and decreases monotonically as t increases. In view of Eqs. (34–37), the range for n, viz., 0.5 B n \ 0.5000652, corresponds to the range 2:3884505  1030 \qm0 \ 2:3900456  1030 for the matter density at the present epoch. For the particular case n = 0.5, we have, D = 2.9593469 9 1008 and qm0 ¼ 2:3844505 1030 gc3 . Case (ii) D = 0. In this case, the solutions Eqs. (31–33) reduce to the power-law solution given in [12]. Case (iii) D \ 0. Here, also we consider two sub-cases depending upon the parameter n. Case (iiia). 0 \ n B 0.5. In this case, qm [ 0 for t [ t* and qr [ 0 for 0 B t \ t5, with qr(t5) = 0. We note that the validity of the model holds in the finite interval t* B t B t5. At t = t*, qm and qr have maximum values, and decreases monotonically afterwards. From Eqs. (34–37), the range for n, corresponds to the range 6:8618075  1030  qm0 \5:8902721  1029 for the matter density at the present epoch. For n = 0.5, we From Eq. (4), the separate conservation of radiation leads to 4 qr ¼ A X Y 2 3 ; ð41Þ where A is constant of integration. Thus, Einstein’s field Eqs. (9–13) for the Bianchi VI0 space-time result into three independent equations in four unknowns X, Y, qm and pm: € X_ !_ !_ 2 € ! X 2  þ  ¼0  X !

Here, we assume a relation between the field variables X and Y, instead of the equation of state for the matter field. Using the transformation in Eq. (19) and the assumption in Eq.

From the expressions (45– 48), we note that pm becomes negative for n B 0.5, whereas qm/qr is a decreasing function of t for n C 0.75. Thus the validity of the model is limited to 0.5 \ n \ 0.75. For 0.5 \ n \ 0.75, qm and qr decrease monotonically, whereas pm increases till it attains its maximum value and decreases monotonically afterwards. qm/qr initially decreases till it attain its minimum value and increases monotonically afterwards. We also note that for values of n close to 0.5, qm/ qr increases more rapidly than for values of n close 0.75. At the present epoch, Eq. (47) yields D¼ 24pGAt3 Xr ¼ h i : 4ð1nÞ 2 D þ ð3  2nÞt 3 In this section, we have obtained classes of models describing the cosmic regime when the two fluids go on evolving independently. For the value of n from 0.5 \ n \ 0.75, the fluid parameters qm, qr and qm/qr behave reasonably. For given values of qr0, t0 and n, we can obtain lower bound for matter density for the present epoch from Eq. (51). Here, we also note that the value of total energy density (Xm ? Xr) lies between 0 and 1 and behavior is similar to the discussed for interacting case. 8. Conclusions We have obtained two-fluid cosmological models in Bianchi VI0 spatially homogeneous and isotropic spacetime. By transforming the field equation containing only the geometrical variables into a linear equation we have been able to obtain classes of models where the matter and radiation interact and matter field obeying with c - law of equation of state. These models have one or two distinct real singularities depending upon the sign of the constant of integration.

(34) and (35), for a given value of qm0 satisfying Eq. (51), A and D are obtained from Eqs. (46 and 49). The cosmological parameters expect Xm and Xr, have the same expressions as given in Eqs. (26–30). Xm and Xr are given by ð53Þ ð49Þ with t. These models are valid over a finite interval of t. In another type of models, matter density is initially zero and qm, qr and qm/qr decrease monotonically as t increases. These models are valid for t [ t1 with qm(t1) = 0. Apart from this, we have obtained another class of models where qm and qr are infinite in the singularity and decreases monotonically afterwards. qm/qr increases with t and models are valid over a finite interval of time. Each of the above cosmological models gives rise to a narrow range for qm0 which is close to the observation limits.

Lastly, we have obtained classes of models where the two fluids are non-interacting. In these model, qm and qr decrease with time, where pm is initially zero and increases till it attains its maximum value and decreases monotonically afterwards. qm/qr decreases initially till it attains its minimum value and increases afterwards. Here, we obtain a lower bound for qm0. 761 [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] References [1] W Davidson Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 124 79 (1962) [2] C B G McIntosh Mon. Not. R. Astron.
