Inflation, holography, and the choice of vacuum in de Sitter space
نویسنده
چکیده
A family of de Sitter vacua introduced in hep-th/0203198 as plausible initial conditions for inflation, are discussed from the point of view of de Sitter holography. The vacua are shown to be physically acceptable and the inflationary picture provides a physical interpretation of a subfamily of de Sitter invariant vacua. Some speculations on the issue of vacuum choice and the connection between the CMBR and holography are also provided.

Gravitational waves are the last unconfirmed prediction of the general relativity. These waves are tiny fluctuations in world frame that dessipate energy throghout space. The gravitatinal waves spectra of fluctuations can be originated from the non-linear effects during different cosmic evolution periods, especially from initially non-linear and excited vacuum state in the very early universe. ...
متن کاملSpacelike hypersurfaces with constant $S$ or $K$ in de Sitter space or anti-de Sitter space
Let $M^n$ be an $n(ngeq 3)$-dimensional complete connected and oriented spacelike hypersurface in a de Sitter space or an anti-de Sitter space, $S$ and $K$ be the squared norm of the second fundamental form and Gauss-Kronecker curvature of $M^n$. If $S$ or $K$ is constant, nonzero and $M^n$ has two distinct principal curvatures one of which is simple, we obtain some charact...
متن کاملSuper algebra and Harmonic Oscillator in Anti de Sitter space
The harmonic oscillator in anti de Sitter space(AdS) is discussed. We consider the harmonic oscillator potential and then time independent Schrodinger equation in AdS space. Then we apply the supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics approach to solve our differential equation. In this paper we have solved Schrodinger equation for harmonic oscillator in AdS spacetime by supersymmetry approach. The shape...
متن کاملInflation and de Sitter Holography
We develop the relation between de Sitter holography and inflation in detail with particular attention to cosmic density perturbations. We set up the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism to present a systematic treatment of the logarithmic corrections to a scale invariant spectrum. Our computations can be interpreted without reference to holography, as strong infra-red effects in gravity. This point of vi...
متن کاملDe Sitter Space Without Dynamical Quantum Fluctuations
We argue that, under certain plausible assumptions, de Sitter space settles into a quiescent vacuum in which there are no dynamical quantum fluctuations. Such fluctuations require either an evolving microstate, or time-dependent histories of out-of-equilibrium recording devices, which we argue are absent in stationary states. For a massive scalar field in a fixed de Sitter background, the cosmi...
