The Cosmological Spacetime
We present here the transformations required to recast the Robertson-Walker metric and Friedmann-Robertson-Walker equations in terms of observer-dependent coordinates for several commonly assumed cosmologies. The overriding motivation is the derivation of explicit expressions for the radius R h of our cosmic horizon in terms of measurable quantities for each of the cases we consider. We show th...
متن کاملSpacetime anisotropy affects cosmological entanglement
Most existing cosmological entanglement studies are focused on the isotropic Robertson-Walker (RW) spacetime. Here we go beyond this limitation and study the influence of anisotropy on entanglement generated by dynamical spacetime. Since the isotropic spacetime is viewed as a background medium and the anisotropy is incorporated as perturbation, we decompose entanglement entropy into isotropic a...
متن کاملObtaining the spacetime metric from cosmological observations
Recent galaxy redshift surveys have brought in a large amount of accurate cosmological data out to redshift 0.3, and future surveys are expected to achieve a high degree of completeness out to a redshift exceeding 1. Consequently, a numerical programme for determining the metric of the universe from observational data will soon become practical; and thereby realise the ultimate application of E...
متن کاملSpacetime Fluctuations and the Cosmological Constant Problem
Spacetime geometry is treated as a fluctuating, stochastic quantum system allowing an effective quantum gravity solution to the cosmological constant problem. A Fokker-Planck equation for the probability density of spacetime metric fluctuations is solved for an FRW universe and the most probable value for the metric scale factor R is for a very small cosmological constant. e-mail: [email protected]...
متن کاملSpacetime Foam and the Cosmological Constant
In the saddle point approximation, the Euclidean path integral for quantum gravity closely resembles a thermodynamic partition function, with the cosmological constant Λ playing the role of temperature and the “density of topologies” acting as an effective density of states. For Λ < 0, the density of topologies grows superexponentially, and the sum over topologies diverges. In thermodynamics, s...
