Polarized vector bosons on the de Sitter expanding universe
The quantum theory of the vector field minimally coupled to the gravity of the de Sitter spacetime is built in a canonical manner starting with a new complete set of quantum modes of given momentum and helicity derived in the moving chart of conformal time. It is shown that the canonical quantization leads to new vector propagators which satisfy similar equations as the propagators derived by T...
متن کاملThe Nonperturbative Quantum de Sitter Universe
The dynamical generation of a four-dimensional classical universe from nothing but fundamental quantum excitations at the Planck scale is a long-standing challenge to theoretical physicists. A candidate theory of quantum gravity which achieves this goal without invoking exotic ingredients or excessive fine-tuning is based on the nonperturbative and background-independent technique of Causal Dyn...
متن کاملQuantum Annihilation of Anti-de Sitter Universe
We discuss the role of conformal matter quantum effects (using large N anomaly induced effective action) to creation-annihilation of an Anti-de Sitter Universe. The quantum maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory covariantly coupled with classical N = 4 conformal supergravity is considered as a typical example of conformal GUT. On a purely gravitational (supersymmetric) AdS background, the q...
متن کاملQuantum Fields in an Expanding Universe
We extend our analysis for scalar fields in a Robertson-Walker metric to the electromagnetic field and Dirac fields by the method of invariants. The issue of the relation between conformal properties and particle production is re-examined and it is verified that the electromagnetic and massless spinor actions are conformal invariant, while the massless conformally coupled scalar field is not. F...
متن کاملSome Thoughts on the Quantum Theory of de Sitter Space
This is a summary of two lectures I gave at the Davis Conference on Cosmic Inflation. I explain why the quantum theory of de Sitter (dS) space should have a finite number of states and explore gross aspects of the hypothetical quantum theory, which can be gleaned from semiclassical considerations. The constraints of a self-consistent measurement theory in such a finite system imply that certain...
