测试λ和CMB温度的人为预测

Testing anthropic predictions for Lambda and the CMB temperature

J. A. Peacock

摘要:

有人声称,观察到的真空能量密度的大小与人择模型中预测的分布是一致的,在人择模型中假设了一个宇宙系综。在不假设宇宙微波背景辐射温度已知的情况下,重新考虑了这个计算,并详细考虑了宇宙发生快速消失的可能性。提出了扰动增长和暗晕质量函数的新的精确近似。在具有负Lambda的模型的坍缩阶段,结构很容易形成,因此坍缩分数本身并不能阻止Lambda变大和变负。只有当我们假设一旦坍缩的宇宙加热到T > 8 K时,观测者的形成可以忽略不计时,负的λ才是不利的。然而,对于正λ的情况,与预测的Lambda-T平面上的分布相比,当前宇宙确实占据了一个非常典型的位置。相反的结论可以得出,如果人择参数适用于宇宙的曲率,我们讨论这种模式的人择推理的可证伪性。

英文摘要:

It has been claimed that the observed magnitude of the vacuum energy density is consistent with the distribution predicted in anthropic models, in which an ensemble of universes is assumed. This calculation is revisited, without making the assumption that the CMB temperature is known, and considering in detail the possibility of a recollapsing universe. New accurate approximations for the growth of perturbations and the mass function of dark haloes are presented. Structure forms readily in the recollapsing phase of a model with negative Lambda, so collapse fraction alone cannot forbid Lambda from being large and negative. A negative Lambda is disfavoured only if we assume that formation of observers can be neglected once the recollapsing universe has heated to T > 8 K. For the case of positive Lambda, however, the current universe does occupy a extremely typical position compared to the predicted distribution on the Lambda-T plane. Contrasting conclusions can be reached if anthropic arguments are applied to the curvature of the universe, and we discuss the falsifiability of this mode of anthropic reasoning.
