Abstract
In the framework of an integrable Weyl–Dirac (W–D) theory a cosmological model is proposed. It describes a universe that began its expansion from a primary pre-Planckian geometric entity containing no matter. During the pre-Planckian period, from R 0 =5.58×10 −36 cm to RI=5.58×10 −34 cm, this embryonic universe has undergone a very rapid expansion and cosmic matter was created by geometry. At RI the universe was already filled with matter having the Planckian density ρ P and being in the state of prematter (P=−ρ), while the Weylian geometric elements were insignificant. This state is the Planckian egg that has served as the initial state of the singularity-free cosmological model(1) considered in the framework of Einstein's general theory of relativity. The W–D character of the geometry and the cosmological constant are significant in the pre-Planckian period during the matter creation. In the dust-dominated period a relic of the W–D geometry causes a global dark matter effect. In between the pre-Planckian and dust period one has Einstein's framework and Λ is negligible.
