Backreaction from non-zero mass conformally coupled scalar fields and the quantum creation of the Universe
The purpose of this paper is to study the homogeneous backreaction of nonzero mass conformally coupled scalar fields on a cosmological background, including flat spacetime, at one-loop order. For this study, the semiclassical Friedmann equation is solved using a method called order reduction. For a nearly flat background we get a scale factor that evolves to a stationary scale factor depending ...
متن کاملHeisenberg-picture approach to the evolution of the scalar fields in an expanding universe
We present the Heisenberg-picture approach to the quantum evolution of the scalar fields in an expanding FRW universe which incorporates relatively simply the initial quantum conditions such as the vacuum state, the thermal equilibrium state, and the coherent state. We calculate the Wightman function, two-point function, and correlation function of a massive scalar field. We find the quantum ev...
متن کاملThe masses of weakly-coupled scalar fields in the early Universe
We consider the effective mass-squared in the early Universe, of a scalar field which has only Planck-suppressed couplings with light fields and whose true mass is less than the Hubble parameter H. A detailed investigation shows that the effective mass-squared generically is of order ±H2 during inflation and matterdomination, but much smaller during radiation domination. We consider the special...
متن کاملA late time acceleration of the universe with two scalar fields : many possibilities
In the present work, an attempt has been made to explain the recent cosmic acceleration of the universe with two mutually interacting scalar fields, one being the Brans Dicke scalar field and the other a quintessence scalar field. Conditions have been derived for which the quintessence scalar field has an early oscillation and it grows during a later time to govern the dynamics of the universe.
متن کاملEvolution of cosmological perturbations in the universe dominated by resonant scalar fields
Recently a Hamiltonian formulation for the evolution of the universe dominated by multiple oscillatory scalar fields was developed by the present author and was applied to the investigation of the evolution of cosmological perturbations on superhorizon scales in the case that scalar fields have incommensurable masses. In the present paper, the analysis is extended to the case in which the masse...
