模空间上的生命?
Life on moduli space?
摘要:
在弦论中,亚稳景观真空的数量是巨大的,而导致独特的低能物理的超模真空的数量甚至更大,也许是无限大。因此,从人择的角度来看,重要的是要理解复杂生命是否可能在模空间上存在--即,在低能量有效理论中,1.精确超对称性和2.一些无质量多重态(模)。除非由于这些特征,生命在模空间上基本上是不可能的,否则弦论中的人择推理表明,绝大多数有知觉的生物会观察到1 - 2。我们调查1和2本身是否自动对生命有害,并初步得出结论,它们不是。特别是,我们描述了模的情况下,复杂的生活似乎是可能的。
英文摘要:
While the number of metastable landscape vacua in string theory is vast, the number of supermoduli vacua which lead to distinct low energy physics is even larger, perhaps infinitely so. From the anthropic perspective it is therefore important to understand whether complex life is possible on moduli space -- i.e., in low energy effective theories with 1. exact supersymmetry and 2. some massless multiplets (moduli). Unless life is essentially impossible on moduli space as a consequence of these characteristics, anthropic reasoning in string theory suggests that the overwhelming majority of sentient beings would observe 1-2. We investigate whether 1 and 2 are by themselves automatically inimical to life and conclude, tentatively, that they are not. In particular, we describe moduli scenarios in which complex life seems possible.
