Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 151102 (2005) [4 pages]Cosmological Solutions in Macroscopic GravityReceived 23 April 2005; published 7 October 2005 In the macroscopic gravity approach to the averaging problem in cosmology, the Einstein field equations on cosmological scales are modified by appropriate gravitational correlation terms. We present exact cosmological solutions to the equations of macroscopic gravity for a spatially homogeneous and isotropic macroscopic space-time and find that the correlation tensor is of the form of a spatial curvature term. We briefly discuss the physical consequences of these results. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
