Abstract: (Springer)
We consider Bianchi type I cosmologies with unidirectional magnetic and electric fields, assuming as well the existence of a global spinor field ψ(t) as one more possible source of gravity able to suppress the inevitable anisotropy accompanying a nonzero vector field. The field ψ(t) is assumed to contain a nonlinearity in the form s n , where s=ψψs=\overline{\psi}\psi and n=const (the special case n=1 corresponds to a Dirac massive field). The structure of the stress-energy tensor of the spinor field is shown to be the same as that of a perfect fluid with the equation of state p=w ρ where w=n−1. The Dirac massive spinor field and nonlinear fields with n<4/3 are shown to be able to provide isotropization. A numerical estimate shows that this isotropization could occur early enough to be compatible with observations.
