Quantum States in Semiclassical Cosmology

چکیده
It is demonstrated that almost any S-matrix of quantum field theory in curved spaces posses an infinite set of complex poles (or branch cuts). These poles can be transformed into complex eigenvalues, the corresponding eigenvectors being Gamow vectors. All this formalism, which is heuristic in ordinary Hilbert space, becomes a rigorous one within the framework of a properly chosen rigged Hilbert space. Then complex eigenvalues produce damping or growing factors. It is known that the growth of entropy, decoherence, and the appearance of correlations, occur in the universe evolution, but only under a restricted set of initial conditions. It is proved that the damping factors allow to enlarge this set up to almost any initial conditions.

Semiclassical states, effective dynamics, and classical emergence in loop quantum cosmology
1550-7998=20 We construct physical semiclassical states annihilated by the Hamiltonian constraint operator in the framework of loop quantum cosmology as a method of systematically determining the regime and validity of the semiclassical limit of the quantum theory. Our results indicate that the evolution can be effectively described using continuous classical equations of motion with nonperturb...
متن کاملThe Semiclassical Limit of Loop Quantum Cosmology
The continuum and semiclassical limits of isotropic, spatially flat loop quantum cosmology are discussed, with an emphasis on the role played by the Barbero–Immirzi parameter γ in controlling space-time discreteness. In this way, standard quantum cosmology is shown to be the simultaneous limit γ → 0, j → ∞ of loop quantum cosmology. Here, j is a label of the volume eigenvalues, and the simultan...
متن کاملSemi-classical States in Homogeneous Loop Quantum Cosmology
Semi-classical states in homogeneous loop quantum cosmology (LQC) are constructed by two different ways. In the first approach, we firstly construct an exponentiated annihilation operator. Then a kind of semiclassical (coherent) state is obtained by solving the eigen-equation of that operator. Moreover, we use these coherent states to analyze the semiclassical limit of the quantum dynamics. It ...
متن کاملEffective Constraints for Relativistic Quantum Systems
Determining the physical Hilbert space is often considered the most difficult but crucial part of completing the quantization of a constrained system. In such a situation it can be more economical to use effective constraint methods, which are extended here to relativistic systems as they arise for instance in quantum cosmology. By side-stepping explicit constructions of states, such tools allo...

In a metric variable based Hamiltonian quantization, we give a prescription for constructing semiclassical matter-geometry states for homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models. These ”collective” states arise as infinite linear combinations of fundamental excitations in an unconventional ”polymer” quantization. They satisfy a number of properties characteristic of semiclassicality, such as ...
متن کاملClassical Spacetime from Quantum Gravity
We show how classical spacetime emerges from quantum gravity through the study of a quantum FRW cosmological model coupled to a free massive scalar field using a new asymptotic expansion method of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. It is shown that the coherent states of the nonadiabatic basis of a particular generalized invariant give rise to the quantum back reaction of matter field proportional to...
