量子多重宇宙中的宇宙学常数

The Cosmological Constant in the Quantum Multiverse

Grant Larsen, Yasunori Nomura, H. L. L. Roberts

摘要:

最近,一种新的描述多重宇宙的框架已经被提出,它是基于量子力学的原则。该框架允许根据一个单一的概率公式,对宇宙的全局性质和特定实验的结果进行明确的预测。这提供了永恒膨胀的多元宇宙和量子力学中的许多世界的完全统一。在本文中,我们阐明如何宇宙学参数可以在这个框架中计算,并研究的概率分布的宇宙学常数的值。我们考虑了正值和负值,发现观测值与计算分布在一个数量级上是一致的。特别是,在早期的措施建议的情况下,我们的框架更喜欢一个积极的宇宙学常数在一个负的。这些结果只是适度地依赖于我们如何模拟星系形成和其中的生命演化。

英文摘要:

Recently, a new framework for describing the multiverse has been proposed which is based on the principles of quantum mechanics. The framework allows for well-defined predictions, both regarding global properties of the universe and outcomes of particular experiments, according to a single probability formula. This provides complete unification of the eternally inflating multiverse and many worlds in quantum mechanics. In this paper we elucidate how cosmological parameters can be calculated in this framework, and study the probability distribution for the value of the cosmological constant. We consider both positive and negative values, and find that the observed value is consistent with the calculated distribution at an order of magnitude level. In particular, in contrast to the case of earlier measure proposals, our framework prefers a positive cosmological constant over a negative one. These results depend only moderately on how we model galaxy formation and life evolution therein.
