Finite time vacuum survival amplitude and vacuum energy decay
The problem of the vacuum energy decay is studied for both signs of the cosmological constant, through the analysis of the vacuum survival amplitude, defined in terms of the conformal time, z, by Aðz; z0Þ hvac zjvac z0i. Transition amplitudes are computed for finite time span, Z z0 z, and their late time behavior (directly related to the putative decay width of the state), and the transients ar...
متن کاملOn vacuum-vacuum amplitude and Bogoliubov coefficients
Even if the electromagnetic field does not create pairs, virtual pairs lead to the appearance of a phase in vacuum-vacuum amplitude. This makes it necessary to distinguish the inand out-solutions even when it is commonly assumed that there is only one complete set of solutions as, for example, in the case of a constant magnetic field. Then inand out-solutions differ only by a phase factor which...
متن کاملVacuum Energy and Θ–vacuum
The highly non-trivial structure of the θ–vacuum encodes many of the fundamental properties of gauge theories. In particular, the response of the vacuum to the θ–term perturbation is sensitive to the existence of confinement, chiral symmetry breaking, etc. We analyze the dependence of the vacuum energy density on θ around two special values, θ = 0 and θ = π. The existence or not of singular beh...
متن کاملInterpreting Cosmological Vacuum Decay
The cosmological vacuum decay scenario recently proposed by Wang and Meng [1] is rediscussed. From thermodynamic arguments it is found that the ǫ parameter quantifying the vacuum decay rate must be positive in the presence of particle creation. If there is no particle creation, the proper mass of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) particles is necessarily a time dependent quantity, scaling as m(t) = moa(t)...
متن کاملSpace-Time Duality and Vacuum Energy
The concept of Euclidean time is proposed which is dual to the usual Minkowski time. The De Sitter solution is shown to be dual to the anti-De Sitter solution under the dual transformation in which Euclidean time and Minkowski time are interchanged. This observation enables us to make a proposal in which the supersymmetry is broken, but the four dimensional cosmological constant remains zero. A...
