On Canonical Transformation and Tachyon-like “particles” in Inflationary Cosmology

چکیده
We examine a classical and quantum dynamics of systems described by the DBItype Lagrangian with tachyon-like potentials and corresponding DBI Lagrangians on (non-)Archimedean spaces. The dynamic of tachyon fields in spatially homogeneous and in zero-dimensional limits is analysed. A formalism for connecting a wide class of potentials and DBI Lagrangians with the locally equivalent canonical Lagrangians is presented. The results for exponentially decaying and inverse cosine hyperbolic are reviewed and for the potentials of the form V (x) = x−n are discussed in more details. Classical actions and corresponding quantum propagators are calculated for these potentials in the Feynman path integral approach, on both Archimedean and nonArchemedean spaces.

Thoughts on tachyon cosmology
After a pedagogical review of elementary cosmology, I go on to discuss some obstacles to obtaining inflationary or accelerating universes in M/string theory. In particular, I give an account of an old ‘no-go theorem’ to this effect. I then describe some recent ideas about the possible role of the tachyon in cosmology. I stress that there are many objections to a naive inflationary model based o...
متن کاملEffective equation of state and energy conditions in phantom / tachyon inflationary cosmology perturbed by quantum effects
We discuss the model consisting of tachyon which may have the negative kinetic energy plus scalar phantom and plus conformal quantum matter. It is demonstrated that such a model naturally admits two deSitter phases where the early universe inflation is produced by quantum effects and the late time accelerating universe is caused by phantom/tachyon. The energy conditions bounds for such cosmolog...
متن کاملBrane World Inflation with Scalar and Tachyon Fields
We present inflationary models of the early universe in the braneworld scenario considering both scalar field and tachyon field separately. The technique of Chervon and Zhuravlev to obtain inflationary cosmological models without restrictions on a scalar field potential is employed here. We note that like scalar field, the inflationary solution obtained here with tachyon field also does not dep...
متن کاملClosed String Tachyon Condensation and Worldsheet Inflation
Closed string tachyon condensation in spacetime generates potentials on the worldsheet that model two-dimensional inflationary cosmology. These models illustrate and elucidate a variety of aspects of inflation, in particular the generation of quantum fluctuations and their back-reaction on geometry. We exhibit a class of Liouville gravity models coupled to matter that can exhibit, for example: ...
متن کاملInhomogeneous Fragmentation of the Rolling Tachyon
Dirac-Born-Infeld type effective actions reproduce many aspects of string theory classical tachyon dynamics of unstable Dp-branes. The inhomogeneous tachyon field rolling from the top of its potential forms topological defects of lower codimensions. In between them, as we show, the tachyon energy density fragments into a p-dimensional web-like high density network evolving with time. We present...
