An Open Universe From Inflation
We present a natural scenario for obtaining an open universe (Ω0 < 1) through inflation. In this scenario, there are two epochs of inflationary expansion—an epoch of ‘old inflation,’ during which the inflaton field is stuck in a false vacuum, followed by an epoch of ‘new inflation,’ during which the inflaton field slowly rolls toward its true minimum. During the first epoch, inflation solves th...
متن کاملOpen-universe Probability Models Show Merit in Unifying Efforts
P E R H A P S T H E M O S T enduring idea from the early days of AI is that of a declarative system reasoning over explicitly represented knowledge with a general inference engine. Such systems require a formal language to describe the real world; and the real world has things in it. For this rea son, classical AI adopted first-order logic—the mathe matics of objects and relations—as its founda...
متن کاملUniverse reheating after inflation.
We study the problem of scalar particle production after inflation by an in-flaton field which is oscillating rapidly relative to the expansion of the universe. We use the framework of the chaotic inflation scenario with quartic and quadratic inflaton potentials. Particles produced are described by a quantum scalar field χ, which is coupled to the inflaton via linear and quadratic couplings. Th...
متن کاملEternal inflation and the present universe
Eternally inflating universes can contain thermalized regions with different values of the cosmological parameters. In particular, the spectra of density fluctuations should be different, because of the different realizations of quantum fluctuations of the inflaton field. I discuss a general method for calculating probability distributions for such variable parameters and analyze the density fl...
