Vacuum Selection by Collapsing
نویسنده
چکیده
In this talk, we discuss the possibility that the vacuum is dynamically determined in the history of the universe. The point is that some of the bubbles with a certain vacuum shrink by the evolution of the universe via gravity and may become black holes. It is interesting that in many cases false vacua are favored in the context of cosmology. By using this argument, supersymmetry(SUSY), if it exists, can be broken cosmologically. This talk is based on Ref. [1].

Gravitational Collapse to Toroidal and Higher Genus Asymptotically AdS Black Holes
We match collapsing inhomogeneous as well as spatially homogeneous but anisotropic spacetimes to vacuum static exteriors with a negative cosmological constant and planar or hyperbolic symmetry. The collapsing interiors include the inhomogeneous solutions of Szekeres and of Barnes, which in turn include the Lemâıtre-Tolman and the McVittie solutions. The collapse can result in toroidal or higher...
متن کاملSinks in the Landscape and the Invasion of Boltzmann Brains
This paper extends the recent investigation of the string theory landscape [1], where it was found that the decay rate of dS vacua to a collapsing space with a negative vacuum energy can be quite large. The parts of space that experience a decay to a collapsing space, or to a Minkowski vacuum, never return back to dS space. The channels of irreversible vacuum decay serve as sinks for the probab...
متن کاملMatching of spatially homogeneous non-stationary space–times to vacuum in cylindrical symmetry
We study the matching of LRS spatially homogeneous collapsing dust space-times with non-stationary vacuum exteriors in cylindrical symmetry. Given an interior with diagonal metric we prove existence and uniqueness results for the exterior. The matched solutions contain trapped surfaces, singularities and Cauchy horizons. The solutions cannot be asymptotically flat and we present evidence that t...
متن کاملFormation of Higher-dimensional Topological Black Holes
We study higher dimensional gravitational collapse to topological black holes in two steps. Firstly, we construct some (n + 2)-dimensional collapsing space-times, which include generalised Lemâıtre-Tolman-Bondi-like solutions, and we prove that these can be matched to static Λ-vacuum exterior space-times. We then investigate the global properties of the matched solutions which, besides black ho...
متن کاملImproved power by collapsing rare and common variants based on a data-adaptive forward selection strategy
Genome-wide association studies have been used successfully to detect associations between common genetic variants and complex diseases, but common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) detected by these studies explain only 5-10% of disease heritability. Alternatively, the common disease/rare variants hypothesis suggests that complex diseases are often caused by multiple rare variants with mo...
