چکیده
We consider two-dimensional Brans-Dicke theory to study the initial singularity problem. It turns out that the initial curvature singularity can be finite for a certain Brans-Dicke constant ω by considering the quantum back reaction of the geometry. For ω = 1, the universe starts with the finite curvature scalar and evolves into the flat spacetime. Furthermore the divergent gravitational coupling at the initial time can be finite effectively with the help of quantum correction. The other type of universe is studied for the case of 0 < ω < 1. ∗electronic address:[email protected] †electronic address:[email protected]

Initial singularity free quantum cosmology in two-dimensional Brans-Dicke theory

متن کاملp-Branes and Exact solutions in Brans-Dicke cosmology with matter
We study the effect of the solitonic degree of freedom in string cosmology following the line Rama. The gas of solitonic p-brane is treated as a perfect fluid in a Brans-Dicke type theory. In this paper, we find analytic solutions for a few solvable cases of equation of states with general Brans-Dicke parameter ω and study the cosmology of the solutions. In some cases the solutions are free fro...
متن کاملWhat Is the Upper Limit on the Lightest Supersymmetric
In this talk the question of what is the upper bound on the lightest supersymmetric Higgs mass, mh is addressed. This question is relevant since experimental lower bounds on mh might implement, in the near future, exclusion of supersymmetry. By imposing (perturbative) unification of the gauge couplings at some high scale > ∼ 10 GeV, we have found that for a top-quark mass Mt = 175 GeV, and depe...

Super–inflation driven by dilaton/moduli kinetic energy is naturally realized in compactified string theory. Discussed are selected topics of recent development in string inflationary cosmology: kinematics of super-inflation, graceful exit triggered by quantum back reaction, and classical and quantum power spectra of density and metric perturbations. † Invited Talk given at 7th Asian-Pacific Re...

We write an O(d, d)-covariant Wheeler-De Witt equation in the (d + 1)-dimensional minisuperspace of low-energy cosmological string backgrounds. We discuss explicit examples of transitions between two duality-related cosmological phases, and we find a finite quantum transition probability even when the two phases are classically separated by a curvature singularity. This quantum approach is comp...
