Non-singular viscous universe with decaying vacuum energy

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

The effect of bulk viscosity on decaying vacuum cosmologies is investigated in a non-singular scenario. The considered model describes a closed universe exhibiting several features of previously proposed non-viscous cosmologies. In particular, it predicts that nucleosynthesis proceeds as in the standard model provided the Universe today is matter-dominated.
