Einstein-aether scalar field theory are of special interest in the scientific society and there are various studies in the literature on the subject, some of these studies for homogeneous and inhomogeneous spacetimes can be found in. In this work we realize this idea for the case of a spatially flat FLRW universe and a scalar field with arbitrary potential and we present, for the first time, the quantization of the Einstein-aether scalar field cosmology we also derive the generic algebraic classical solution to the field equations. A classical slow-roll era and a Lorentz violating epoch. Such a theory has been proposed before as an alternative inflationary model which provides two periods of inflation.

One can contemplate a non-trivial coupling of the scalar to the aether field by allowing the coefficients of its kinetic action to be functions of the scalar field. Moreover, scalar fields have also been proposed as dark energy models, while they can attribute the geometrodynamical degrees of freedom provided by higher-order theories which belong to the class of modified theories of gravity, for more details we refer the reader to for a complete review on the cosmological implications in modified theories of gravity see and references therein. The main mechanism for the description of the inflation is based on the domination of a scalar field potential, known as inflaton. On the other hand, scalar fields play a prominent role in modern cosmology. These new terms break the Lorentz symmetry, by selecting a preferred frame at each space time point, while keeping the field equations of second-order as in the case of General Relativity. Specifically, in Einstein-aether theory quadratic kinematic quantities of the unitary time-like vector fields are introduced in the gravitational Action Integral. In the Einstein-aether theory, a unit time-like rotationally invariant vector field, called the “aether” is also responsible for the same effect. The Hořava–Lifshitz gravity is certainly violating Lorentz invariance by construction, since arbitrary time re-definitions are not among its covariances. This is because the throat chakra is connected with sound and communication, and it is through ether that sound is said to pass.The interest in Lorentz violating cosmological theories comes together with the idea of a variable speed of light. In a more literal sense, noticing the space between breaths as well as the space around the body as it moves through asanas and holds them, can help the practitioner become more attuned to the ether that surrounds them.Īs an element, ether is associated with the throat chakra ( visuddha). This can be applied to life "off the mat" by living a more conscious life, but it also relates to practice "on the mat." Ether is also limitless and boundless, so it fills the whole of space.īecause ether is associated with consciousness, it is possible to bring more of the ether element into any yoga practice by cultivating more mindfulness and awareness. And it lacks the heaviness of earth and water, so it is light. It lacks the propulsion of air, so it is still. By its nature, it is the absence of properties rather than the properties themselves. Ether tends to be defined by that which it is lacking.
