Infrared behavior and gauge artifacts in de Sitter spacetime: the photon field.
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the infrared (long-distance) behavior of the free photon field in de Sitter spacetime. Using a two-parameter family of gauge-fixing terms, we show that the infrared (IR) behavior of the two-point function is highly gauge-dependent and ranges from vanishing to growing. This situation is in disagreement with its counterpart in flat spacetime, where the two-point function vanishes in the IR region for any choice of the gauge-fixing parameters. A criterion to isolate the physical part of the two-point function is given and is shown to lead to a well-behaved two-point function in the IR region.

In this paper, we consider a massive charged scalar field coupled to a uniform electric field background in a 3 dimensional de Sitter spacetime. We consider the value of the dimensionless coupling constant of the scalar field to the scalar curvature of a 3 dimensional de Sitter spacetime equal to 1/8. We compute the expectation value of the trace of the energy-momentum tensor in the in-vacuum s...
متن کامل0 Gravitational Waves in Open de Sitter Space
We compute the spectrum of primordial gravitational wave perturbations in open de Sitter spacetime. The background spacetime is taken to be the continuation of an O(5) symmetric instanton saddle point of the Euclidean no boundary path integral. The two-point tensor fluctuations are computed directly from the Euclidean path integral. The Euclidean correlator is then analytically continued into t...
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 کامل3 Photon mass and Cosmological constant bounds from spacetime torsion
Photon mass and Cartan contortion bounds recently obtained from tiny Lorentz violation observations in cosmology are used to find a limit of λ ≤ 10 −4 α for the massive photon-torsion dimensionless coupling. Here α represents the fine-structure constant. A gauge invariant Proca electrodynamics in spacetime endowed with torsion in de Sitter spacetime is used to obtain an upper bound for the pres...
متن کاملOn the stability of anti-de Sitter spacetime
We present results from a detailed study of spherically symmetric Einstein-massless-scalar field dynamics with a negative cosmological constant in four to nine spacetime dimensions. This study is the first to examine dynamics in AdS beyond five dimensions and the gauge dependence of recently proposed perturbative methods. Using these perturbative methods, we provide evidence that the oscillator...
