Global Fluctuation Spectra in Big Crunch/Big Bang String Vacua
We study Big Crunch/Big Bang cosmologies that correspond to exact worldsheet superconformal field theories of type II strings. The string theory spacetime contains a Big Crunch and a Big Bang cosmology, as well as additional “whisker” asymptotic and intermediate regions. Within the context of free string theory, we compute, unambiguously, the scalar fluctuation spectrum in all regions of spacet...
متن کاملPre-big bang bubbles from the gravitational instability of generic string vacua
We formulate the basic postulate of pre-big bang cosmology as one of “asymptotic past triviality”, by which we mean that the initial state is a generic perturbative solution of the tree-level low-energy effective action. Such a past-trivial “string vacuum” is made of an arbitrary ensemble of incoming gravitational and dilatonic waves, and is generically prone to gravitational instability, leadi...
متن کاملBig Bang Models in String Theory
These proceedings are based on lectures delivered at the “RTN Winter School on Strings, Supergravity and Gauge Theories”, CERN, January 16 January 20, 2006. The school was mainly aimed at Ph.D. students and young postdocs. The lectures start with a brief introduction to spacetime singularities and the string theory resolution of certain static singularities. Then they discuss attempts to resolv...
متن کاملPre - Big - Bang In String Cosmology
The duality-type symmetries of string cosmology naturally lead us to expect a pre-big-bang phase of accelerated evolution as the dual counterpart of the decelerating expansion era of standard cosmology. Several properties of this scenario are discussed, including the possibility that it avoids the initial singularity and that it provides a large amount of inflation. We also discuss how possible...
متن کاملInhomogeneous Pre-Big Bang String Cosmology
An inhomogeneous version of pre–Big Bang cosmology emerges, within string theory, from quite generic initial conditions, provided they lie deeply inside the weak-coupling, lowcurvature regime. Large-scale homogeneity, flatness, and isotropy appear naturally as latetime outcomes of such an evolution. CERN-TH/97-42 March 1997
