Inhomogeneous Pre-Big Bang String Cosmology
نویسنده
چکیده
An inhomogeneous version of pre–Big Bang cosmology emerges, within string theory, from quite generic initial conditions, provided they lie deeply inside the weak-coupling, lowcurvature regime. Large-scale homogeneity, flatness, and isotropy appear naturally as latetime outcomes of such an evolution. CERN-TH/97-42 March 1997

The Pre-Big Bang Scenario in String Cosmology
We review physical motivations, phenomenological consequences, and open problems of the so-called pre-big bang scenario in superstring cosmology.
متن کاملClassical Inhomogeneities in String Cosmology
We generalize previous work on inhomogeneous pre-big bang cosmology by including the effect of non-trivial moduli and antisymmetric-tensor/axion fields. The general quasi-homogeneous asymptotic solution—as one approaches the big bang singularity from perturbative initial data—is given and its range of validity is discussed, allowing us to give a general quantitative estimate of the amount of in...
متن کاملThe fate of classical tensor inhomogeneities in pre-big-bang string cosmology
In pre-big-bang string cosmology one uses a phase of dilaton-driven inflation to stretch an initial (microscopic) spatial patch to the (much larger) size of the big-bang fireball. We show that the dilaton-driven inflationary phase does not naturally iron out the initial classical tensor inhomogeneities unless the initial value of the string coupling is smaller than gin . 10 −35.
متن کاملThe Graceful Exit in Pre-Big Bang String Cosmology
We re-examine the graceful exit problem in the pre-Big Bang scenario of string cosmology, by considering the most general time-dependent classical correction to the Lagrangian with up to four derivatives. By including possible forms for quantum loop corrections we examine the allowed region of parameter space for the coupling constants which enable our solutions to link smoothly the two asympto...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Inhomogeneous Pre-Big-Bang Inflationary Cosmology
We study numerically the inhomogeneous pre-big-bang inflation in a spherically symmetric space-time. We find that a large initial inhomogeneity suppresses the onset of the pre-big-bang inflation. We also find that even if the pre-big-bang inflationary stage is realized, the initial inhomogeneities are not homogenized. Namely, during the pre-big-bang inflation “hairs”(irregularities) do not fall...
