Dynamical initial conditions in quantum cosmology.
Loop quantum cosmology is shown to provide both the dynamical law and initial conditions for the wave function of a universe by one discrete evolution equation. Accompanied by the condition that semiclassical behavior is obtained at large volume, a unique wave function is predicted.
متن کاملBoundary conditions in quantum string cosmology
We discuss in detail how to consistently impose boundary conditions in quantum string cosmology. Since a classical time parameter is absent in quantum gravity, such conditions must be imposed with respect to intrinsic variables. Constructing wave packets for minisuperspace models from different tree-level string effective actions, we explain in particular the meaning of a transition between “pr...
متن کاملEffective equations of motion and initial conditions for inflation in quantum cosmology
We obtain effective equations of inflationary dynamics for the mean inflaton and metric fields – expectation values in the no-boundary and tunneling quantum states of the Universe. The equations are derived in the slow roll approximation taking the form of the local Schwiger-DeWitt expansion. In this approximation effective equations follow from the Euclidean effective action calculated on the ...
متن کاملOn the Initial Conditions in New Ekpyrotic Cosmology
New Ekpyrotic Cosmology is an alternative scenario of early universe cosmology in which the universe existed before the big bang. The simplest model relies on two scalar fields, whose entropy perturbation leads to a scale-invariant spectrum of density fluctuations. The ekpyrotic solution has a tachyonic instability along the entropy field direction which, a priori, appears to require fine-tunin...
متن کاملInitial Conditions, Discreteness and Non-linear Structure Formation in Cosmology
In this lecture we address three different but related aspects of the initial continuous fluctuation field in standard cosmological models. Firstly we discuss the properties of the so-called Harrison-Zeldovich like spectra. This power spectrum is a fundamental feature of all current standard cosmological models. In a simple classification of all stationary stochastic processes into three catego...
