چکیده

We solve the effective Dirac equation for massless fermions during inflation in the simplest gauge, including all one loop corrections from quantum gravity. At late times the result for a spatial plane wave behaves as if the classical solution were subjected to a time dependent field strength renormalization of Z2(t) = 1 − 17 4πGH2 ln(a) + O(G). We show that this also follows from making the Hartree approximation, although the numerical coefficients differ.

2 00 1 Gravity waves from inflating brane or Mirrors moving in adS 5

We study tensor perturbations in a model with inflating Randall–Sundrum-type brane embedded in five-dimensional anti-de Sitter (adS 5) bulk. In this model, a natural in-vacuum of gravitons is the vacuum defined in static adS 5 frame. We show that this vacuum is, in fact, the same as the in-vacuum defined in the frame with de Sitter (dS 4) slicing, in which the brane is at rest. Thus, during inf...

Superspace without torsion and the composite fundamental fermions

(N=2)-superspace without torsion is described, which is equivalent to an 8-space with a discrete internal subspace. A number and a character of ties determine now an internal symmetry group, while in the supersymmetrical models this one is determined by an extension degree N. Such a model can be constructed for no less than 4 generations of the two-component fundamental fermions. Analogues of t...

Relic gravitons on Kasner-like branes

We discuss the cosmological amplification of tensor perturbations in a simple example of brane-world scenario, in which massless gravitons are localized on a higherdimensional Kasner-like brane embedded in a bulk AdS background. Particular attention is paid to the canonical normalization of the quadratic action describing the massless and massive vacuum quantum fluctuations, and to the exact ma...

Reheating the Universe after String Theory Inflation

In String theory realizations of inflation, the end point of inflation is often brane-anti brane annihilation. We consider the processes of reheating of the Standard Model universe after brane inflation. We identify the channels of inflaton energy decay, cascading from tachyon annihilation through massive closed string loops, KK modes, and brane displacement moduli to the lighter standard model...

Is the Gravitational Force Elementary?

The gravitational force is assumed to be mediated by spin 2 gravitons which are composed of four spin 1/2 (sub-) fermions. The dynamics is governed by a nonlinear spinorfield equation with nonperturbative Pauli-Villars regularization and canonical quantization. On the quantum level the fermion dynamics is expressed by a functional equation for algebraic state functionals, and the "graviton" (fu...
