More on Tachyon Cosmology in De Sitter Gravity

چکیده
We aim to study rolling tachyon cosmological solutions in de Sitter gravity. The solutions are taken to be flat FRW type and these are not time-reversal symmetric. We find that cosmological constant of our universe has to be fine-tuned at the level of the action itself, as in KKLT string compactification. The rolling tachyon can give rise to required inflation with suitable choice of the initial conditions which include nonvanishing Hubble constant. We also determine an upper bound on the volume of the compactification manifold.

Closed String Tachyon Condensation and Worldsheet Inflation
Closed string tachyon condensation in spacetime generates potentials on the worldsheet that model two-dimensional inflationary cosmology. These models illustrate and elucidate a variety of aspects of inflation, in particular the generation of quantum fluctuations and their back-reaction on geometry. We exhibit a class of Liouville gravity models coupled to matter that can exhibit, for example: ...

We show that the Gauss-Bonnet correction to Einstein gravity induces a gravitational tachyon mode, namely an unstable spin 2 fluctuation, in the Randall-Sundrum I model. We demonstrate that this instability is generically related to the presence of a negative tension brane in the set-up, with or without Z2-symmetry across it. Indeed it is shown that the tachyon mode is a bound state localised o...
متن کاملBraneworld dynamics with vacuum polarization
We investigate the cosmological dynamics of a brane Universe when quantum corrections from vacuum polarization are taken into account. New vacuum de Sitter points existing on Randall-Sundrum brane are described. We show also that quantum correction can destroy the DGP de Sitter solution on induced gravity brane. † Electronic mail: [email protected] ‡ Electronic mail: [email protected] Investig...
متن کاملTime and Tachyon
Recent analysis suggests that the classical dynamics of a tachyon on an unstable Dbrane is described by a scalar Born-Infeld type action with a runaway potential. The classical configurations in this theory at late time are in one to one correspondence with the configuration of a system of non-interacting (incoherent), non-rotating dust. We discuss some aspects of canonical quantization of this...

We obtain conditions for the existence and stability of de Sitter attractors in the phase space of homogeneous and isotropic cosmology in generalized theories of gravity (including non-linear and scalar-tensor theories). These conditions are valid for any form of the coupling functions of the theory. Stability with respect to inhomogeneous perturbations is analyzed using a covariant and gauge-i...
