False Vacuum In ation with Einstein Gravity
We present a detailed investigation of chaotic in ation models which feature two scalar elds, such that one eld (the in aton) rolls while the other is trapped in a false vacuum state. The false vacuum becomes unstable when the magnitude of the in aton eld falls below some critical value, and a rst or second order transition to the true vacuum ensues. Particular attention is paid to the case, te...
متن کاملWhy Does Gravity Ignore the Vacuum Energy?
The equations of motion for matter fields are invariant under the shift of the matter lagrangian by a constant. Such a shift changes the energy momentum tensor of matter by T a b → T a b + ρδ a b . In the conventional approach, gravity breaks this symmetry and the gravitational field equations are not invariant under such a shift of the energy momentum tensor. I argue that until this symmetry i...
متن کاملFalse vacuum inflation with Einstein gravity.
We present a detailed investigation of chaotic inflation models which feature two scalar fields, such that one field (the inflaton) rolls while the other is trapped in a false vacuum state. The false vacuum becomes unstable when the magnitude of the inflaton field falls below some critical value, and a first or second order transition to the true vacuum ensues. Particular attention is paid to t...
متن کاملBulk inflaton shadows of vacuum gravity
We introduce a (5+m)-dimensional vacuum description of five-dimensional bulk inflaton models with exponential potentials that makes analysis of cosmological perturbations simple and transparent. We show that various solutions, including the power-law inflation model recently discovered by Koyama and Takahashi, are generated from known (5 +m)-dimensional vacuum solutions of pure gravity. We deri...
متن کاملLarge “Dipolar” Vacuum Fluctuations in Quantum Gravity
We study a novel set of gravitational field configurations, called “dipolar zero modes”, which give an exactly null contribution to the Einstein action and are thus candidates to become large fluctuations in the quantized theory. They are generated by static unphysical sources satisfying (up to terms of order G) the simple condition ∫ dxT00(x) = 0. We give two explicit examples of virtual sourc...
