title = "Reissner-Nordstr{\"o}m expansion",
abstract = "We propose a classical mechanism for the cosmic expansion during the radiation-dominated era, assuming the Universe as a two-component gas. The first component is the ultra-relativistic {"}standard{"} fraction described by an equation of state of an ideal quantum gas of massless particles. The second component consist of superheavy charged particles and their interaction with the {"}standard{"} fraction drives the expansion. This interaction is described by the Reissner-Nordstr{\"o}m metric purely geometrically-the superheavy charged particles are modeled as zero-dimensional naked singularities which exhibit gravitational repulsion. The radius of a repulsive sphere, surrounding a naked singularity of charge Q, is inversely proportional to the energy of an incoming particle or the temperature. The expansion mechanism is based on the \growing{"} of the repulsive spheres of the superheavy particles with the drop of the temperature - this drives apart all neutral particles and particles of specific charge q/m such that sign(Q)q/m ≥ -1. The Reissner-Nordstr{\"o}m expansion mechanism naturally ends at Recombination. We model the Universe during the Reissner-Nordstr{\"o}m expansion as a van der Waals gas and determine the equation of state.",
