Our October 16, 2021 claim that Friedmann equations do not have a solution for a sudden jump of pressure was incorrect.
Theorem. Any uniform matter has a solution for both Friedmann equations in the case where the curvature parameter k = 0. We assume energy conservation.
Proof. Let us have any uniform matter. The first Friedmann equation clearly has a solution. Let
ρ(a)
be the mass-energy density as a function of the scale factor a. If the matter is slow massive matter, then
ρ(a) ~ 1 / a³,
D_a ρ(a) = -3 / a * ρ(a),
where we denote the derivative operator against a by D_a
We assume energy conservation. If the derivative D_a ρ(a) has some other value, it has to be because pressure is doing work. If we let a grow to a + da, then the lost mass-energy is
[-3 / a * ρ(a) - D_a ρ(a)] da * a³ * c²
in a cube whose side is a. The volume growth of the cube is 3 a² da. The pressure has to be
p(a) = [-ρ(a) - 1/3 a D_a ρ(a)] * c² (1)
to conserve energy.
We denote the derivative against the time coordinate t with a prime mark '. The first Friedmann equation is
(a' / a)² = 2/3 κ ρ (F1)
<=>
a' = sqrt(2/3 κ) a sqrt(ρ).
We calculate the time derivative of both sides of the equation (we denote C = sqrt(2/3 κ):
=> a'' = C a' sqrt(ρ)
+ C a * 1/2 * 1 / sqrt(ρ) *
* (D_a ρ) a'
= C² a sqrt(ρ) sqrt(ρ)
+ 1/2 C² a² sqrt(ρ) / sqrt(ρ)
* D_a ρ
= 2/3 κ a ρ
+ 1/3 κ a² D_a ρ
<=>
a'' / a = 2/3 κ ρ (2)
+ 1/3 κ a D_a ρ.
The second Friedmann equation is:
a'' / a = -1/3 κ ρ - κ p / c² (F2)
Now we subtract (F2) from (2). We assume that we have a solution for (F1), which means that (2) is true. Then (F2) is true if and only if the subtracted equation is true:
(F2) <=>
0 = ρ
+ 1/3 a D_a ρ
+ p / c².
Our formula for pressure (1) makes the right side of the equation zero, which means that the subtracted equation is true if we assume energy conservation. QED.
