Some Connections between Quantum Tunneling and Inflation
نویسنده
چکیده
The Wheeler-DeWitt equation in the minisuperspace approximation is studied in four different models. Under certain circumstances each model leads to a tunneling potential and under the same circumstances the classical version of each model leads to inflation.

Hawking-Moss Tunneling in Noncommutative Eternal Inflation
The quantum behavior of noncommutative eternal inflation is quite different from the usual knowledge. Unlike the usual eternal inflation, the quantum fluctuation of noncommutative eternal inflation is suppressed by the Hubble parameter. Due to this, we need to reconsider many conceptions of eternal inflation. In this paper we study the Hawking-Moss tunneling in noncommutative eternal inflation ...
متن کاملQUANTUM TUNNELING IN MEDIUMS WITH LINEAR AND NONLINEAR DISSIPATION
We have applied the method of integration of the Heisenberg equation of motion proposed by Bender and Dunne, and M. Kamella and M. Razavy to the potential V(q) = v q - µ q with linear and nonlinear dissipation. We concentrate our calculations on the evolution of basis set of Weyl Ordered Operators and calculate the mean position , velocity , the commutation relation [q, p], and the energ...
متن کاملDensity Perturbations in Chain Inflation
We consider the model of “Chain Inflation,” in which the period of inflation in our universe took the form of a long sequence of quantum tunneling events. We find that in the simplest such scenario, in which the tunneling processes are uniform, approximately 104 vacua per e-folding of inflation are required in order that the density perturbations produced are of an acceptable size. We arrive at...
متن کاملQuantum Creation of Closed Universe with Both Effects of Tunneling and Well
A new ”twice loose shoe” method in the Wheeler-DeWitt equation of the universe wave function on the cosmic scale factor a and a scalar field φ is suggested in this letter. We analysis the both affects come from the tunneling effect of a and the potential well effect of φ, and obtain the initial values a0 and φ0 about a primary closed universe which is born with the largest probability in the qu...
متن کاملLoop Quantum Cosmology, Boundary Proposals, and Inflation
Loop quantum cosmology of the closed isotropic model is studied with a special emphasis on a comparison with traditional results obtained in the Wheeler–DeWitt approach. This includes the relation of the dynamical initial conditions with boundary conditions such as the no-boundary or the tunneling proposal and a discussion of inflation from quantum cosmology.
