The proposal "no boundary" of physicists Hartle and Hawking seeks to build a satisfactory model of the early Universe, in a way that avoids the singularity "Big Bang" of the beginning of the Universe. As a consequence of this proposal, the concept of metric signature change arises, which is approached in different ways in the literature. Here, we reinterpret the Mansouri-Nozari approach, which modifies the FLRW metric, and uses the formalism of Colombeau's Algebras, to develop its equations. In addition, we write the function that changes the sign in terms of redshift. Finally, we developed Friedmann's equations, of the modified metric, as well as the equation of state and other relevant equations in Cosmology.

Starting from the Colombeau's full generalized functions, the sharp topologies and the notion of generalized points, we introduce a new kind differential calculus (for functions between totally disconnected spaces). We study generalized pointvalues, Colombeau's differential algebra, holomorphic and analytic functions. We show that the Embedding Theorem and the Open Mapping Theorem hold in this framework. Moreover, we study some applications in differential equations.

In this work we consider the non local evolution problem \[ \begin{cases} \partial_t u(x,t)=-u(x,t)+g(\beta K(f\circ u)(x,t)+\beta h), ~x \in\Omega, ~t\in[0,\infty[;\\ u(x,t)=0, ~x\in\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\Omega, ~t\in[0,\infty[;\\ u(x,0)=u_0(x),~x\in\mathbb{R}^N, \end{cases} \] where $\Omega$ is a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N, ~g,f: \mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfying certain growing condition and $K$ is an integral operator with symmetric kernel, $ Kv(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}}J(x,y)v(y)dy.$ We prove that Cauchy problem above is well posed, the solutions are smooth with respect to initial conditions, and we show the existence of a global attractor. Futhermore, we exhibit a Lyapunov's functional, concluding that the flow generated by this equation has a gradient property., Comment: 20 pages
