Vacuum States and the S-Matrix in dS/CFT
We propose a definition of dS/CFT correlation functions by equating them to Smatrix elements for scattering particles from I− to I+. In planar coordinates, which cover half of de Sitter space, we consider instead the S-vector obtained by specifying a fixed state on the horizon. We construct the one-parameter family of de Sitter invariant vacuum states for a massive scalar field in these coordin...
متن کاملMulti-Trace Deformations in AdS/CFT: Exploring the Vacuum Structure of the Deformed CFT
We present a general and systematic treatment of multi-trace deformations in the AdS/CFT correspondence in the large N limit, pointing out and clarifying subtleties relating to the formulation of the boundary value problem on a conformal boundary. We then apply this method to study multi-trace deformations in the presence of a scalar VEV, which requires the coupling to gravity to be taken into ...
متن کاملParticle decay in false vacuum
We revisit the problem of decay of a metastable vacuum induced by the presence of a particle. For the bosons of the 'master field' the problem is solved in any number of dimensions in terms of the spontaneous decay rate of the false vacuum, while for a fermion we find a closed expression for the decay rate in (1+1) dimensions. It is shown that in the (1+1) dimensional case an infrared problem o...
متن کاملVacuum decay in curved backgrounds
We evaluate the effect of gravity on the probability of vacuum decay through bubble nucleation for a scalar field in an arbitrary curved background up to first order in an expansion in powers of Rp’, where R is the scalar curvature of the background metric at the location of the bubble and p is the size of the bubble as it would appear in a flat space. The mechanism by which a scalar field in a...
متن کاملCharged False Vacuum Bubbles and the AdS/CFT Correspondence
We initiate a study of cosmology within the framework of Maldacena’s AdS/CFT correspondence. We present a comprehensive analysis of the classical motion of a charged domain wall that separates an external ReissnerNordstrøm region of spacetime (with small or vanishing cosmological constant) from an internal de-Sitter region. The possible associated spacetime diagrams are drawn, although in the c...
