Quantum Potential and Cosmological Singularities
نویسنده
چکیده
We apply the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for the quantum FRW cosmological model with a minimal massless scalar field. We find that the quantum FRW cosmological model has quantum potential dominated solutions that avoid the initial and the final cosmological singularities. It is suggested that the quantum potential and the back-reaction of geometry and matter fields may change the property of the cosmological singularities of the Universe. E-mail: [email protected]

Holographic Description of AdS Cosmologies
To gain insight in the quantum nature of the big bang, we study the dual field theory description of asymptotically anti-de Sitter solutions of supergravity that have cosmological singularities. The dual theories do not appear to have a stable ground state. One regularization of the theory causes the cosmological singularities in the bulk to turn into giant black holes with scalar hair. We inte...
متن کاملA Brief Comment on Time-like Singularities and Cosmological Horizons
We argue that in the presence of time-like singularities, the existence of cosmological horizons can become frame-dependent, ie. a horizon which appears in Einstein frame may not appear in string frame. We speculate on the relation between time-like singularities and the formulation of quantum gravity in de Sitter space. e-mail address:[email protected]
متن کاملCosmological Singularities and a Conjectured Gravity/coset Correspondence
We review the recently discovered connection between the Belinsky-Khalatnikov-Lifshitz-like “chaotic” structure of generic cosmological singularities in eleven-dimensional supergravity and the “last” hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra E10. This intriguing connection suggests the existence of a hidden “correspondence” between supergravity (or even M-theory) and null geodesic motion on the infinite-dim...
متن کاملA Brief Comment on Instanton-like Singularities and Cosmological Horizons
We argue that in the presence of instanton-like singularities, the existence of cosmological horizons can become frame-dependent, ie. a horizon which appears in Einstein frame may not appear in string frame. We speculate on the relation between instanton-like singularities and the formulation of quantum gravity in de Sitter space. e-mail address:[email protected]
متن کاملCosmological Quantum String Vacua and String-String Duality
Implications of string-string dualities to cosmological string vacua are discussed. Cosmological vacua of classical string theories comprise of disjoint classses mapped one another by scale-factor T-duality. Each classes are, however, afflicted with initial/final cosmological singularities. It is argued that quantum string theories and string-string dualities dramatically resolve these cosmolog...
