`Derivation of Weinberg’s Relation in a Inflationary Universe
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a derivation of the empirical Weinberg relation for the mass of an elementary particle and in an inflationary type of universe. Our derivation produces the standard well known Weinberg relation for the mass of an elementary particle, along with an extra term which depends on the inflationary potential, as well as Hubble’s constant. The derivation is based on Zeldovich’s result for the cosmological constant Λ, in the context of quantum field theory. The extra term can be understood as a small correction to the mass of the elementary particle due to inflation. This term also enables us to calculate, the initial value of the field φO for two kinds of potentials chosen, which makes Weinberg’s relation possible. Closed and flat and open universes give the mass of the particles close to the mass of a pion, 140 MeV/c or as the one also predicted by Weinberg’s relation.

Rotation in a Generalised Dirac’s Universe
Abstract The extension of Dirac’s LNH to cover cosmological and fine-structure time-varying ”constants”, and the rotation of the Universe, is here analysed, including a ”derivation” of the angular speed of the present Universe, and of the inflationary phase. Criticizable points on the present calculation, are clarified.
متن کاملRenormalization-group improved effective potential for gauge theories in curved spacetime
The renormalization-group improved effective potential for an arbitrary renormalizable massless gauge theory in curved spacetime is found, thus generalizing Coleman-Weinberg’s approach corresponding to flat space. Some explicit examples are considered, among them: λφ theory, scalar electrodynamics, the asymptotically-free SU(2) gauge model, and the SU(5) GUT theory. The possibility of curvature...

متن کاملGraviton Production in Inflationary Cosmology
We provide a completely quantum-mechanical derivation of the spectrum of gravitational waves produced in any inflationary cosmology. The gravitational waves result from a sequence of Bogoliubov transformations between creation and annihilation operators defined in de Sitter space and in radiation-and matter-dominated Robertson-Walker spacetimes. We discuss how the results depend on the initial ...
متن کاملInflationary universe with anisotropic hair.
We study an inflationary scenario with a vector field coupled with an inflaton field and show that the inflationary Universe is endowed with anisotropy for a wide range of coupling functions. This anisotropic inflation is a tracking solution where the energy density of the vector field follows that of the inflaton field irrespective of initial conditions. We find a universal relation between th...
