慢卷永恒暴胀中体积有界的普适性

Universality of the Volume Bound in Slow-Roll Eternal Inflation

Sergei Dubovsky, Leonardo Senatore, Giovanni Villadoro

摘要:

最近已经证明,在单场慢卷暴胀中,总体积不可能增长到大于e^(S_dS/2)的倍数而不变为无穷大。在相变到永恒暴胀的时候,这个边界是饱和的,在那里产生无限大体积的概率变成非零。我们表明,约束持有急剧也在任何时空维度,任意高维运营商时,包括在多场膨胀的情况下。与德西特熵的关系和束缚的普遍性加强了更深层次的全息解释的情况。作为一个副产品,我们提供的形式主义,计算通货膨胀后的体积的概率分布的通用多场模型,这可能有助于解决有关人口的真空的景观在慢卷通货膨胀。

英文摘要:

It has recently been shown that in single field slow-roll inflation the total volume cannot grow by a factor larger than e^(S_dS/2) without becoming infinite. The bound is saturated exactly at the phase transition to eternal inflation where the probability to produce infinite volume becomes non zero. We show that the bound holds sharply also in any space-time dimensions, when arbitrary higher-dimensional operators are included and in the multi-field inflationary case. The relation with the entropy of de Sitter and the universality of the bound strengthen the case for a deeper holographic interpretation. As a spin-off we provide the formalism to compute the probability distribution of the volume after inflation for generic multi-field models, which might help to address questions about the population of vacua of the landscape during slow-roll inflation.
