Expanding and Contracting Universes in Third Quantized String Cosmology
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the possibility of quantum transitions from the string perturbative vacuum to cosmological configurations characterized by isotropic contraction and decreasing dilaton. When the dilaton potential preserves the sign of the Hubble factor throughout the evolution, such transitions can be represented as an anti-tunnelling of the Wheeler–De Witt wave function in minisuperspace or, in a third-quantization language, as the production of pairs of universes out of the vacuum.

متن کاملString Cosmology
“Old’ String Theory is a theory of one-dimensional extended objects, whose vibrations correspond to excitations of various target-space field modes including gravity. It is for this reason that strings present the first, up to now, mathematically consistent framework where quantum gravity is unified with the rest of the fundamental interactions in nature. In these lectures I will give an introd...
متن کاملCosmological Perturbations on a Bouncing Brane
Abstract The cosmological perturbations on a bouncing brane are studied. The brane is moving inside a Klebanov-Strassler throat where the infra-red region of the geometry is smoothly cut off. For an observer confined to the world-volume of the brane, this results in a non-singular bouncing mirage cosmology. We have calculated the scalar perturbations corresponding to the normal displacements of...
متن کاملThird Quantization of Brans-Dicke Cosmology
We study the third quantization of a Brans-Dicke toy model, we calculate the number density of the universes created from nothing and found that it has a Planckian form. Also, we calculated the uncertainty relation for this model by means of functional Schrödinger equation and we found that fluctuations of the third-quantized universe field tends to a finite limit in the course of cosmic expans...
متن کاملHolography and the generalized second law of thermodynamics in (2+1)-dimensional cosmology
The Fischler-Susskind entropy bound has been studied in (2+1)-dimensional universes with negative cosmological constant. As in all contracting universes, that bound is not satisfied. Furthermore, we found that the Fischler-Susskind bound is not compatible with a generalized second law of thermodynamics in (2+1)-dimensional cosmology, neither the classical nor the quantum version. On the other h...
