用标度因子截断测度预测宇宙学常数

Predicting the cosmological constant with the scale-factor cutoff measure

Andrea De Simone, Alan H. Guth, Michael P. Salem, Alexander Vilenkin

摘要:

众所周知,从一个宇宙学常数λ的先验分布平坦的景观中进行人择,可以得到与观测值合理的拟合。然而,多重宇宙的现实模型具有随时间发散的物理体积,并且预测的Lambda分布取决于时空体积如何调节。我们研究了一个简单的多重宇宙模型,其概率由尺度因子截止值调节,并计算了由此产生的分布,同时考虑了Lambda的正值和负值。计算结果与观测结果吻合较好。特别是,比例因子截断强烈抑制了λ值大于观测值约10倍的概率。我们还讨论了标度因子截断的几个定性特征,包括曲率参数Ω和原始密度对比度Q的分布。

英文摘要:

It is well known that anthropic selection from a landscape with a flat prior distribution of cosmological constant Lambda gives a reasonable fit to observation. However, a realistic model of the multiverse has a physical volume that diverges with time, and the predicted distribution of Lambda depends on how the spacetime volume is regulated. We study a simple model of the multiverse with probabilities regulated by a scale-factor cutoff, and calculate the resulting distribution, considering both positive and negative values of Lambda. The results are in good agreement with observation. In particular, the scale-factor cutoff strongly suppresses the probability for values of Lambda that are more than about ten times the observed value. We also discuss several qualitative features of the scale-factor cutoff, including aspects of the distributions of the curvature parameter Omega and the primordial density contrast Q.
