Entropy Bounds and String Cosmology
After discussing some old (and not-so-old) entropy bounds both for isolated systems and in cosmology, I will argue in favour of a “Hubble entropy bound” holding in the latter context. I will then apply this bound to recent developments in string cosmology, show that it is naturally saturated throughout pre-big bang inflation, and claim that its fulfilment at later times has interesting implicat...
متن کاملGravitational Entropy and Quantum Cosmology
We investigate the evolution of different measures of “Gravitational Entropy” in Bianchi type I and Lemâitre-Tolman universe models. A new quantity behaving in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics is introduced. We then go on and investigate whether a quantum calculation of initial conditions for the universe based upon the Wheeler-DeWitt equation supports Penrose’s Weyl Curvature C...
متن کاملAdiabatic and entropy perturbations in cosmology
This thesis presents a study of the effect and generation of non-adiabatic perturbations in Cosmology. We study adiabatic (curvature) and entropy (isocurvature) perturbations produced during a period of cosmological inflation that is driven by multiple scalar fields with an arbitrary interaction potential. A local rotation in field space is performed to separate out the adiabatic and entropy mo...
متن کاملEntropy of Contracting Universe in Cyclic Cosmology
Following up a recent proposal [1] for a cyclic model based on phantom dark energy, we examine the content of the contracting universe (cu) and its entropy Scu. We find that beyond dark energy the universe contains on average zero or at most a single photon which if present immediately after turnaround has infinitesimally energy which subsequently blue shifts to produce e+e− pairs. These statem...
متن کاملentropy, negentropy, and information
evaluation criteria for different versions of the same database the concept of information, during its development, is connected to the concept of entropy created by the 19th century termodynamics scholars. information means, in this view point, order or negentropy. on the other hand, entropy is connected to the concepts as chaos and noise, which cause, in turn, disorder. in the present paper, ...
