Instanton Cosmology
نویسنده
چکیده
A new cosmological model provides solutions for the flatness, smoothness, monopole, and classical singularity problems, with no adjustment of parameters. The prediction of a scale factor R (t) which is proportional to t (rather than t) yields a comfortably large age for the universe, and also implies that the deceleration parameter q0 is exactly zero.

Transitions Between de Sitter Minima
We investigate the cosmological signatures of instantons mediating tunneling between de Sitter minima. For generic potentials the Coleman-de Luccia instanton does not necessarily exist; when it does not, the instanton which contributes to the decay rate is the trivial constant solution, known as the Hawking-Moss instanton. With the aid of a toy model we interpret this solution and describe the ...
متن کاملInstanton Solution in Tachyon Cosmology
We find an exact classical solution in Euclidean gravity coupled to a scalar field with a particular form of potential commonly used in tachyon cosmology. This solution represents a tunneling between two vacua.
متن کاملInstanton corrected hypermultiplet moduli spaces
Instanton corrections recently played a prominent role both in the context of string cosmology (KKLT models) and particle physics model building. A setup where one might hope to understand these corrections using string dualities and supersymmetry constraints on the low energy effective action (LEEA) is type II string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold (CY3). In this case the LEEA is...
متن کاملOn Duru-Kleinert Path Integral in Quantum Cosmology
We show that the Duru-Kleinert fixed energy amplitude leads to the path integral for the propagation amplitude in the closed FRW quantum cosmology with scale factor as one degree of freedom. Then, using the Duru-Kleinert equivalence of corresponding actions, we calculate the tunneling rate, with exact prefactor, through the dilute-instanton approximation to first order in h̄. ∗e-mail: tabriz u@v...
متن کاملA pr 1 99 8 Comment on ‘ Quantum Creation of an Open Universe ’ , by Andrei Linde
We comment on Linde’s claim that one should change the sign in the action for a Euclidean instanton in quantum cosmology, resulting in the formula P ∼ e+S for the probability of various classical universes. There are serious problems with doing so. If one reverses the sign of the action of both the instanton and the fluctuations, the latter are unsupressed and the calculation becomes meaningles...
