Wave function of the Universe as a sum over eventually inflating universes

چکیده
We consider a proposal to define the wave function of Universe as sum over spacetimes that eventually inflate. In minisuperspace model, we explicitly show simple family initial conditions, parametrized by positive real number $a_0$, can be imposed realise this prescription. The resulting is found proportional Hartle-Hawking and its dependence on $a_0$ only through an overall phase factor. Motivated observation, ask whether it possible analytically extend extended region $\bar{\mathcal{D}}$ in complex $a_0-$plane, while retaining form function. use condition for convergence path integral recent theorem due Kontsevich Segal, further Witten, find $\bar{\mathcal{D}}$. Interestingly, special point boundary recovers exact no-boundary Following that, our prescription leads quantum states perturbations, which give rise scale-invariant power spectra. If demand, extra ingredient prescription, matching at "no-boundary point" $\bar{\mathcal{D}}$, converge unique state perturbations.

Anisotropically Inflating Universes
We show that in theories of gravity that add quadratic curvature invariants to the EinsteinHilbert action there exist expanding vacuum cosmologies with positive cosmological constant which do not approach the de Sitter universe. Exact solutions are found which inflate anisotropically. This behaviour is driven by the Ricci curvature invariant and has no counterpart in the general relativistic li...
متن کاملPhotographing the wave function of the Universe
We show that density fluctuations in standard inflationary scenarios may take the most general non-Gaussian distribution if the wave function of the Universe is not in the ground state. We adopt the Schrödinger picture to find a remarkable similarity between the most general inflaton wavefunction and the Edgeworth expansion used in probability theory. Hence we arrive at an explicit relation bet...
متن کاملQuantum Fluctuation in the Inflating Universe
With the RFW metric ds = dt − R(t)d~x, the scale factor grows exponentially R(t) = R(0)e. We now switch to the conformally flat metric ds = R(η)(dη − d~x). Therefore, dt = R(η)dη, or equivalently, dη = ±R(t)−1dt = ±R(0)−1e−Htdt. Note that η is nothing but the size of the particle horizon, namely the comoving distance for which the light could propagate since the initial time. This differential ...
متن کاملUnambiguous Probabilities in an Eternally Inflating Universe
“Constants of Nature” and cosmological parameters may in fact be variables related to some slowly-varying fields. In models of eternal inflation, such fields will take different values in different parts of the universe. Here I show how one can assign probabilities to values of the “constants” measured by a typical observer. This method does not suffer from ambiguities previously discussed in t...

تلمیح یکی از عناصری است که تقریباً در همه ی متون ادبی یافت و باعث ایجاد شکاف های فرهنگی می شود. در این تحقیق به عنوان شکلی از بینامتنیت در ترجمه مورد توجه قرار می گیرد. تلاش شده است تا راهکارهای مترجمان برای ترجمه چهار نوع اسامی خاص و عبارات کلیدی تلمیحی (مذهبی، سیاسی، تاریخی و اسطوره ای) موجود در رمانِ چهره مرد هنرمند در جوانی به فارسی بررسی شود. این تحقیق مقایسه ای بر اساس راهکارهای ترجمه تلمیح...
