Magnetized cylindrically symmetric universe with bulk viscosity

摘要

We consider a magnetic cylindrically symmetric universe with two degrees of freedom in the presence of an electrically neutral viscous fluid. The source of the magnetic field is an electric current along the x-axis. The coefficient of bulk viscosity is assumed to be a power function of the mass density. Without assuming any adhoc law, we obtain a cosmological constant as a decreasing function of time which is supported by results from recent supernovae observations. [References: 64]
