متن کاملCosmological Particle Production Without Bogolubov Coefficients
We present an efficient new technique for calculating the amount of particle production in a cosmological background. The expectation value of the number operator for a given momentum mode can be extracted from the Feynman propagator. We demonstrate the computational economy of the technique by applying it to various cosmologies. We also show that the appropriate Feynman propagator, with bounda...
متن کاملVon Neumann and Shannon-wehrl Entropy for Squeezed States and Cosmological Particle Production Von Neumann and Shannon-wehrl Entropy for Squeezed States and Cosmological Particle Production
We show that the eeective coarse graining of a two-mode squeezed density matrix, implicit in the Wehrl approaches to a semiclassical phase-space distribution, leads to results in agreement with previous diierent deenitions of entropy for the process of pair production from the vacuum. We also present, in this context, a possible interpretation of the entropy growth as an ampliication (due to th...
متن کاملA First-Quantized Formalism for Cosmological Particle Production
We show that the amount of particle production in an arbitrary cosmological background can be determined using only the late-time positive-frequency modes. We don’t refer to modes at early times, so there is no need for a Bogolubov transformation. We also show that particle production can be extracted from the Feynman propagator in an auxiliary spacetime. This provides a first-quantized formali...
متن کاملCollisional equilibrium, particle production, and the inflationary universe.
Particle production processes in the expanding universe are described within a simple kinetic model. The equilibrium conditions for a MaxwellBoltzmann gas with variable particle number are investigated. We find that radiation and nonrelativistic matter may be in equilibrium at the same temperature provided the matter particles are created at a rate that is half the expansion rate. Using the fac...
