横维多重宇宙的测度

Measures for a Transdimensional Multiverse

Delia Schwartz-Perlov, Alexander Vilenkin

摘要:

从永恒暴胀和弦论中产生的多元宇宙/景观范式描述了一个由“口袋宇宙”组成的大规模多元宇宙,这些宇宙有各种各样的不同类型,包括不同的维度。为了在多元宇宙中做出预测,我们需要一个概率测度。在$(3+1)d$景观,比例因子截止措施已被证明有一些有吸引力的属性。在这里,我们考虑这种措施可能的推广到一个transdimensional多元宇宙。我们发现,一个简单的扩展的比例因子截止到transdimensional的情况下,给出了一个措施,强烈反对大量的慢卷通货膨胀和预测的密度参数$Ω$的低值,在冲突的观察。一个合适的推广,它保留了所有的良好性质的原始措施,是“体积因子”截止,它正则化的无限时空体积使用截止面的体积膨胀因子恒定。

英文摘要:

The multiverse/landscape paradigm that has emerged from eternal inflation and string theory, describes a large-scale multiverse populated by "pocket universes" which come in a huge variety of different types, including different dimensionalities. In order to make predictions in the multiverse, we need a probability measure. In $(3+1)d$ landscapes, the scale factor cutoff measure has been previously shown to have a number of attractive properties. Here we consider possible generalizations of this measure to a transdimensional multiverse. We find that a straightforward extension of scale factor cutoff to the transdimensional case gives a measure that strongly disfavors large amounts of slow-roll inflation and predicts low values for the density parameter $Ω$, in conflict with observations. A suitable generalization, which retains all the good properties of the original measure, is the "volume factor" cutoff, which regularizes the infinite spacetime volume using cutoff surfaces of constant volume expansion factor.
