Two-timescale adiabatic expansion of a scalar field model
The analysis of gravitational wave data may require greater accuracy than is afforded by the adiabatic approximation to the trajectory of and field produced by a particle moving in curved spacetime. Higher accuracy is available with a two-timescale approach using as an expansion parameter the ratio of orbital time to radiation reaction time. To avoid apparent divergences at large distances, the...
متن کاملScalar Field Theory in the Derivative Expansion
The quantum correlations of scalar fields are examined as a power series in derivatives. Recursive algebraic equations are derived and determine the amplitudes; all loop integrations are performed. This recursion contains the same information as the usual loop expansion. The approach is pragmatic and generalizable to most quantum field theories.
متن کاملA cosmological model with complex scalar field
In this paper, we wish to point out the possibility of using a complex scalar field to account for the inflationary stage and the current acceleration. By the analysis of the dynamical system and numerical work, we show that the amplitude of the complex scalar field plays the role of the inflaton whereas the phase is the quintessence field. The numerical solutions describe heteroclinic orbits, ...
متن کاملAdiabatic Product Expansion
The time-evolution operator for an explicitly time-dependent Hamiltonian is expressed as the product of a sequence of unitary operators. These are obtained by successive time-dependent unitary transformations of the Hilbert space followed by the adiabatic approximation at each step. The resulting adiabatic product expansion yields a generalization of the quantum adiabatic approximation. Further...
متن کاملAdiabatic ekpyrosis: scale-invariant curvature perturbations from a single scalar field in a contracting universe.
The Universe can be made flat and smooth by undergoing a phase of ultraslow (ekpyrotic) contraction, a condition achievable with a single, canonical scalar field and conventional general relativity. It has been argued, though, that generating scale-invariant density perturbations requires at least two scalar fields and a two-step process that first produces entropy fluctuations and then convert...
