A two-dimensional string cosmology

چکیده

A bstract We study two-dimensional string theory on a time-dependent background, whose worldsheet description consists of Liouville at central charge c = 1 and 25, together with the conformal ghosts. compute tree-level three-point four-point components cosmological wavefunction in perturbation theory. The latter is evaluated numerically by decomposing correlation functions into Virasoro blocks function coefficients integrating over moduli space four-punctured sphere diagram. This computation confirms surprisingly simple conjectural result for component physical interpretation remains to be clarified.

/ 9607126 Singularity and Exit Problems in Two - Dimensional String Cosmology

A broad class of two-dimensional loop-corrected dilaton gravity models exhibit cosmological solutions that interpolate between the string perturbative vacuum and a background with asymptotically flat metric and linearly growing dilaton. The curvature singularities of the corresponding tree-level solutions are smoothed out, but no branch-change occurs. Thus, even in the presence of a non-perturb...

Exact solutions in two–dimensional string cosmology with back reaction

We present analytic cosmological solutions in a model of two-dimensional dilaton gravity with back reaction. One of these solutions exhibits a graceful exit from the inflationary to the FRW phase and is nonsingular everywhere. A duality related second solution is found to exist only in the “pre-big-bang” epoch and is singular at τ = 0. In either case back reaction is shown to play a crucial rol...

-non-perturbative Four-Dimensional String Cosmology

Starting from an exact (in the Regge slope α ′ ) functional method for a bosonic stringy σ-model, we investigate four-dimensional cosmological string solutions in graviton, dilaton and antisymmetric tensor backgrounds, compatible with world-sheet conformal invariance, and valid beyond perturbative expansions in powers of α ′ . The antisymmetric tensor field, playing the rôle of an axion in the ...

Two-Dimensional Quantum Cosmology*

Two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to conformally invariant matter with central charge c > 25 has been proposed as a toy model for quantum gravity in higher dimensions. The associated “Wheeler-Dewitt equation” is non-linear and unstable to forming a condensate of baby universes. This will occur even in the classical c + co limit. Small fluctuations about this background describe the propag...

String Cosmology: A Review

The second string revolution, which begin around 1995, has led to a drastic alteration in our perception of the universe, perhaps even more so then did the first string revolution of 1984. That is, extending 10-dimensional string theory to 11-dimensional M -theory has had more profound implications than did the original extension of 4-dimensional quantum mechanics and relativity to 10-dimension...
