| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/4898 Approaches to ensembles of universes Kirchner, Ulrich Ellis, GFR Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Includes bibliographical references. This thesis consists of three parts - each of them focusing on different aspects relating to ensembles of universes and causally disconnected regions. In the first part I investigate possible measures over the space of FLRW models. In the second part I examine the behaviour of such transition regions for spherically symmetric space-times. In the last part of this thesis I discuss philosophical, physical, and probabilistic issues related to the concept of a multiverse - an ensemble of universes. The difference between ensembles of really existing universes and ensembles of possible universes is emphasized. 2014-07-31T08:08:13Z 2014-07-31T08:08:13Z 2003 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/4898 eng application/pdf Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
