In this paper, we investigate time-dependent Kantowski–Sachs spherically symmetric teleparallel F(T) gravity with a scalar field source. We begin by setting the exact field equations to be solved and solve conservation laws for possible scalar field potential, Vϕ, solutions. Then, we find new non-trivial teleparallel F(T) solutions by using power-law and exponential ansatz for each potential case arising from conservation laws, such as linear, quadratic, or logarithmic, to name a few. We find a general formula allowing us to compute all possible new teleparallel F(T) solutions applicable for any scalar field potential and ansatz. Then, we apply this formula and find a large number of exact and approximate new teleparallel F(T) solutions for several types of cases. Some new F(T) solution classes may be relevant for future cosmological applications, especially concerning dark matter, dark energy quintessence, phantom energy leading to the Big Rip event, and quintom models of physical processes.

In this paper, we investigate time-dependent Kantowski–Sachs spherically symmetric teleparallel F(T) gravity in vacuum and in a perfect isotropic fluid. We begin by finding the field equations and solve for new teleparallel F(T) solutions. With a power-law ansatz for the co-frame functions, we find new non-trivial teleparallel F(T) vacuum solutions. We then proceed to find new non-trivial teleparallel F(T) solutions in a perfect isotropic fluid with both linear and non-linear equations of state. We find a great number of new exact and approximated teleparallel F(T) solutions. These classes of new solutions are relevant for future cosmological applications. Full article

Abstract
We study the canonical quantization of a scalar field in Kantowski–Sachs spacetime. For simplicity, we consider compactified spatial sections, since this does not affect the ultraviolet behavior.

We study the canonical quantization of a scalar field in Kantowski–Sachs spacetime. For simplicity, we consider compactified spatial sections, since this does not affect the ultraviolet behavior. A time-dependent canonical transformation is performed prior to quantization. As in previously studied cases, the purpose of this canonical transformation is to identify and extract the background contribution to the field evolution which is obstructing a unitary implementation of the field dynamics at the quantum level. This splitting of the time dependence into a background piece and the part to be seen as true quantum evolution is, to a large extent, determined by the unitarity requirement itself. The quantization is performed in the usual setup of Fock representations, demanding the preservation of the spatial symmetries. Under the joint requirements of quantum unitary dynamics and compatibility with those classical symmetries, the quantization is shown to be unique, in the sense that any two representations with these properties are unitarily equivalent. This confirms the validity of our conditions as criteria to discriminate among possibly inequivalent quantum descriptions. The interest of this analysis goes beyond cosmological applications since the interior of a nonrotating black hole has a geometry of the Kantowski–Sachs type. Full article

In the case of two-scalar field cosmology, and specifically for the Chiral model, we determine an exact solution for the field equations with an anisotropic background space. The exact solution can describe anisotropic inflation with a Kantowski–Sachs geometry and can be seen as the anisotropic analogue of the hyperbolic inflation. Finally, we investigate the stability conditions for the exact solution. Full article

In this paper, we have investigated Noether symmetries of the Lagrangian of Kantowski–Sachs spacetime. The associated Lagrangian of the Kantowski–Sachs metric is used to derive the set of determining equations. Solving the determining equations for several values of the metric functions, it is observed that the Kantowski–Sachs spacetime admits the Noether algebra of dimensions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11. A comparison of the obtained Noether symmetries with Killing and homothetic vectors is also presented. With the help of Noether’s theorem, we have presented the expressions for conservation laws corresponding to all Noether symmetries. It is observed that the positive energy condition is satisfied for most of the obtained metrics. Full article
