米尔恩宇宙的去奇异化

Desingularization of the Milne Universe

Chethan Krishnan, Shubho Roy

摘要:

宇宙学奇异性的解决是任何完整的量子引力理论中的一个重要问题。米尔恩轨道是一种具有大爆炸/大挤压奇点的宇宙学,但作为平坦空间的商,它有可能在弦论中得到解决。然而,我们知道,在米尔恩几何中,有些微扰弦振幅是发散的。在这里,我们表明,平坦的空间更高的自旋理论可以影响一个简单的解决方案的米尔恩奇点时,嵌入后者在2+1维。我们解释了如何调和这与预期的非微扰弦效应需要解决米尔恩。一路上,我们引入了Inönü-Wigner收缩的Grassmann实现,以将大部分AdS技术输出到我们的平坦空间计算中。

英文摘要:

Resolution of cosmological singularities is an important problem in any full theory of quantum gravity. The Milne orbifold is a cosmology with a big-bang/big-crunch singularity, but being a quotient of flat space it holds potential for resolution in string theory. It is known however, that some perturbative string amplitudes diverge in the Milne geometry. Here we show that flat space higher spin theories can effect a simple resolution of the Milne singularity when one embeds the latter in 2+1 dimensions. We explain how to reconcile this with the expectation that non-perturbative string effects are required for resolving Milne. Along the way, we introduce a Grassmann realization of the İnönü-Wigner contraction to export much of the AdS technology to our flat space computation.
