Matter collapsing to a singularity in a gravitational field is still an intriguing question. Similar situation arises when discussing the very early universe or a universe recollapsing to a singularity. It is suggested that inclusion of mutual gravitational interactions among the collapsing particles can avert a singularity and give finite value for various physical quantities like entropy, density, etc.

In a recent paper it was suggested that inclusion of mutual gravitational interactions among the collapsing particles can avert a singularity and give finite value for various physical quantities. In this paper we extend this idea further by the inclusion of charge and spin to the system. We have also discussed other possible scenarios by which the singular state can be averted, including a temperature dependent gravitational constant. Also possible modifications in the Einstein-Hilbert action have been discussed, which can again lead to a finite maximal curvature hence avoiding a singularity.
In the previous parts of the discussion on the same topic, various aspects of the very early universe were discussed. We discussed how inclusion of large dark energy term compensates for the net gravity. Here the discussion is taken further including the effects of charge, magnetic fields and rotation. The role of large extra dimensions under the extreme initial conditions is discussed and possible connection with the cyclic brane theory is explored. We constrain various cosmic quantities like the net charge, number density of magnetic monopoles, primordial magnetic fields, size of the extra dimensions,etc.
In this paper it is suggested that inclusion of mutual gravitational interactions among the particles in the early dense universe can lead to a pre-big bang scenario, with particle masses greater than the Planck mass implying an accelerating phase of the universe, which then goes into the radiation phase when the masses fall below the Planck mass. The existence of towers of states of such massive particles (i.e. multiples of Planck mass) as implied in various unified theories, provides rapid acceleration in the early universe, similar to the usual inflation scenario, but here the expansion rate goes over smoothly to the radiation dominated universe when temperature becomes lower than the Planck temperature.
A specific theoretical framework is important for designing and conducting an experiment, and for interpretation of its results. The field of gravitational physics is expanding, and more clarity is needed. It appears that some popular notions, such as `inflation and `gravity is geometry, have become more like liabilities than assets. A critical analysis is presented and the ways out of the difficulties are proposed.
Dendrimers are characterized by special features that make them promising candidates for many applications. Here we focus on two such applications: dendrimers as light harvesting antennae, and dendrimers as molecular amplifiers, which may serve as novel platforms for drug delivery. Both applications stem from the unique structure of dendrimers. We present a theoretical framework based on the master equation within which we describe these applications. The quantities of interest are the first passage time (FPT) probability density function (PDF), and its moments. We examine how the FPT PDF and its characteristics depend on the geometric and energetic structures of the dendrimeric system. In particular, we investigate the dependence of the FPT properties on the number of generations (dendrimer size), and the system bias. We present analytical expressions for the FPT PDF for very efficient dendrimeric antennae and for dendrimeric amplifiers. For these cases the mean first passage time scales linearly with the system length, and fluctuations around the mean first passage time are negligible for large systems. Relationships of the FPT to light harvesting process for other types of system-bias are discussed.
