• Discriminating the Weyl type in higher dimensions using scalar curvature invariants 

      Hervik, Sigbjørn; Coley, Alan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      We consider higher dimensional Lorentzian spacetimes which are currently of interest in theoretical physics. It is possible to algebraically classify any tensor in a Lorentzian spacetime of arbitrary dimensions using ...
    • Inflation with stable anisotropic hair 

      Hervik, Sigbjørn; Mota, David F.; Thorsrud, Mikjel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Recently an inflationary model with a vector field coupled to the inflaton was proposed and the phenomenology studied for the Bianchi type I spacetime. It was found that the model demonstrates a counter-example to the ...
    • Pseudo-Riemannian VSI spaces II 

      Hervik, Sigbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      In this paper we consider pseudo-Riemannian spaces of arbitrary signature for which all of the polynomial curvature invariants vanish (VSI spaces). Using an algebraic classification of pseudo-Riemannian spaces in terms of ...
