宇宙学产生结构的有效理论

Effective theory for the cosmological generation of structure

Martin Bojowald, Aureliano Skirzewski

摘要:

目前对早期宇宙结构形成的理解主要是建立在宇宙加速膨胀早期阶段初始真空状态中量子涨落的放大上。人们通常通过在给定的膨胀背景时空上求解物质的量子态的方程来描述这个过程,然后用退相干来论证量子涨落中经典不均匀性的出现。在这里,我们制定了一个有效的框架,允许列入反反应效应的量子物质场的耦合动力学引力背景。它显示了如何量子涨落耦合到经典的不均匀性,从而可以管理在不断发展的背景下产生宇宙结构。几个具体的影响遵循从反反应的定性分析,包括可能减少的整体振幅的功率在宇宙微波背景,发生小的非高斯性,并可能抑制功率奇模在大尺度上没有奇偶违反。

英文摘要:

The current understanding of structure formation in the early universe is mainly built on a magnification of quantum fluctuations in an initial vacuum state during an early phase of accelerated universe expansion. One usually describes this process by solving equations for a quantum state of matter on a given expanding background space-time, followed by decoherence arguments for the emergence of classical inhomogeneities from the quantum fluctuations. Here, we formulate the coupling of quantum matter fields to a dynamical gravitational background in an effective framework which allows the inclusion of back-reaction effects. It is shown how quantum fluctuations couple to classical inhomogeneities and can thus manage to generate cosmic structure in an evolving background. Several specific effects follow from a qualitative analysis of the back-reaction, including a likely reduction of the overall amplitude of power in the cosmic microwave background, the occurrence of small non-Gaussianities, and a possible suppression of power for odd modes on large scales without parity violation.
