Inflation from Quantum Gravity
In recent years cosmologists are repeatedly invoking quantum fluctuations to "explain" the origin of the universe [1 ]. We discuss here one such model in which our observed universe originates from a primordial "Planck size bubble" through inflation. The final state of the universe will have zero cosmological constant and zero spatial curvature with overwhelming probability. The analysis is bas...
متن کاملQuantum Gravity Slows Inflation
We consider the quantum gravitational back-reaction on an initially inflating, homogeneous and isotropic universe whose topology is T 3 × R. Although there is no secular effect at one loop, an explicit calculation shows that two-loop processes act to slow the rate of expansion by an amount which becomes non-perturbatively large at late times. By exploiting Feynman’s tree theorem we show that al...
متن کاملMass Inflation in Quantum Gravity
Using the canonical formalism for spherically symmetric black hole inside the apparent horizon we investigate the mass inflation in the Reissner-Nordström black hole in the framework of quantum gravity. It is shown that like in classical gravity the combination of the effects of the influx coming from the past null infinity and the outflux backscattered by the black hole’s curvature causes the ...
متن کاملQuantum Effects during Inflation
The expansion of spacetime alters the energy-time uncertainty principle, allowing virtual particles to persist longer than in flat space. For a given expansion the effect is largest for massless particles which are not conformally invariant. For a given particle type the effect is largest for inflation. I exhibit these two principles in the context of massless fermions which are Yukawa-coupled ...
متن کاملQuantum compositeness of gravity: black holes, AdS and inflation
Gravitational backgrounds, such as black holes, AdS, de Sitter and inflationary universes, should be viewed as composite of N soft constituent gravitons. It then follows that such systems are close to quantum criticality of graviton Bose-gas to Bose-liquid transition. Generic properties of the ordinary metric description, including geodesic motion or particlecreation in the background metric, e...
