Modelling macroscopic and baby universes by fundamental strings
نویسنده
چکیده
We develop a model of (1 + 1)-dimensional parent and baby universes as macroscopic and microscopic fundamental closed strings. We argue, on the basis of understanding of strings from the point of view of target D-dimensional space-time, that processes involving baby universes/wormholes not only induce c-number ”α-parameters” in (1 + 1)d action, but also lead to loss of quantum coherence for a (1 + 1)d observer in the parent universe.

World-Sheet Geometry and Baby Universes in 2-D Quantum Gravity
We show that the surface roughness for c < 1 matter theories coupled to 2D quantum gravity is described by a self-similar structure of baby universes. There exist baby universes whose neck thickness is of the order of the ultraviolet cutoff, the largest of these having a macroscopic area ∼ A 1 1−γ , where A is the total area and γ the string susceptibility exponent.
متن کاملTubular Solutions in NS5-brane, Dp-brane and Macroscopic Strings Background
We present our searches for the tubular bound states of a D2-brane with m D0-brane and n fundamental strings in the NS5-brane, Dp-brane or macroscopic strings backgrounds by solving the Dirac-Born-Infeld equation. The geometry of tubular configurations we considered are taken to be parallel to the background branes or macroscopic strings. The n fundamental strings therein may be the circular st...

متن کاملQuantum Entanglement of Baby Universes
We study quantum entanglements of baby universes which appear in non-perturbative corrections to the OSV formula for the entropy of extremal black holes in Type IIA string theory compactified on the local Calabi-Yau manifold defined as a rank 2 vector bundle over an arbitrary genus G Riemann surface. This generalizes the result for G = 1 in hep-th/0504221. Non-perturbative terms can be organize...
متن کاملObserving 4 d baby universes in quantum gravity
We measure the fractal structure of four dimensional simplicial quantum gravity by identifying so-called baby universes. This allows an easy determination of the critical exponent γ connected to the entropy of four-dimensional manifolds.
