Some Aspects of Pre Big Bang Cosmology
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a summary of a course given at the Fourth Mexican School on Gravitation and Mathematical Physics on some aspects of PBB cosmology. After introductory remarks the lectures concentrate on some amusing consequences derived from the symmetries of the string theory with respect to such classical concepts as isotropy and homogeneity. The extra dimensions and the symmetries of the M theory are further applied to show that the classical singularities might be just physically irrelevant. In the final lecture a model universe is “produced” from “almost nothing” and it is argued that initial plane waves are thermodinamically natural state for the universe to emerge from.

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 کاملSuperhorizon Curvaton Amplitude in Inflation and Pre-Big Bang Cosmology
We follow the evolution of the curvaton on superhorizon scales and check that the spectral tilt of the curvaton perturbations is unchanged as the curvaton becomes nonrelativistic. Both inflation and pre-big bang cosmology can be treated since the curvaton mechanism within the two scenarios works the same way. We also discuss the amplitude of the density perturbations, which leads to some intere...
متن کاملInhomogeneous Pre-Big Bang String Cosmology
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
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 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.
