چکیده
The decay of the string perturbative vacuum, if triggered by a suitable, duality-breaking dilaton potential, can eeciently proceed via the parametric ampliication of the Wheeler-De Witt wave function in superspace, and can appropriately describe the birth of our Universe as a quantum process of pair production from the vacuum. ||||||||||||||| Essay written for the 2000 Awards of the Gravity Research Foundation, and selected for Honorable Mention.

Birth of the Universe as anti - tunnelling from the string perturbative vacuum
The decay of the string perturbative vacuum, if triggered by a suitable, duality-breaking dilaton potential, can efficiently proceed via the parametric amplification of the Wheeler-De Witt wave function in superspace, and can appropriately describe the birth of our Universe as a quantum process of pair production from the vacuum.
متن کاملBirth of the Universe as Quantum Scattering in String Cosmology
In a Wheeler-De Witt approach to quantum string cosmology, the present state of the Universe arises from the scattering and reflection of the wave function representing the initial string vacuum in superspace. This scenario is described and compared with the more conventional quantum cosmology picture, in which the birth of the Universe is represented as a process of tunnelling “from nothing” i...

متن کاملNested Braneworlds and Strong Brane Gravity Typeset Using Revt E X
We find the gravitational field of a ‘nested’ domain wall living entirely within a brane-universe, or, a localised vortex within a wall. For a vortex living on a critical Randall-Sundrum brane universe, we show that the induced gravitational field on the brane is identical to that of an (n−1)-dimensional vacuum domain wall. We also describe how to set-up a nested Randall-Sundrum scenario using ...
متن کاملTypeset Using Revt E X
The impact of QCD instantons on scalar glueball properties is studied in the framework of an instanton-improved operator product expansion (IOPE) for the 0++ glueball correlation function. Direct instanton contributions are found to strongly dominate over those from perturbative fluctuations and soft vacuum fields. All IOPE sum rules, including the one involving a subtraction constant, show a h...
