Thermal Interpretation of Infrared Dynamics in de Sitter

Gerasimos Rigopoulos

摘要:

在具有Ricci曲率$R=12H$的德西特时空中,在物理体积$V_H=\frac{4π}{3}\left(\frac{1}{H}\right)^3$的视界大小的区域上平均的轻的、最小耦合标量场的红外动力学可以被解释为具有德西特温度$T_{DS}=\frac{\hbar H}{2π}$的介质中的布朗运动。我们证明了这一点,直接推导出的有效作用的标量场波动的波长大于德西特曲率半径和推广Starobinsky的开创性成果随机通货膨胀。有效的行动描述了随机动力学和波动力驱动的领域的平衡,其特征在于由热吉布斯分布在温度$T_{DS}$,这对应于一个德西特不变状态。因此,接近这种状态可以被解释为热化。我们表明,随机动能的粗粒度的描述对应于规范的$\partial_μϕ$,并采取一个很好的定义值,每地平线体积$\frac{1}{2}\langle \left(\nablaϕ\right)^2\rangle = - \frac{1}{2}T_{DS}/V_H$。这种方法允许非微扰计算的de Sitter不变的应力能量张量$\langle T_{μν} \rangle$的任意标量势。

英文摘要:

The infrared dynamics of a light, minimally coupled scalar field in de Sitter spacetime with Ricci curvature $R=12H$, averaged over horizon sized regions of physical volume $V_H=\frac{4π}{3}\left(\frac{1}{H}\right)^3$, can be interpreted as Brownian motion in a medium with de Sitter temperature $T_{DS}=\frac{\hbar H}{2π}$. We demonstrate this by directly deriving the effective action of scalar field fluctuations with wavelengths larger than the de Sitter curvature radius and generalizing Starobinsky's seminal results on stochastic inflation. The effective action describes stochastic dynamics and the fluctuating force drives the field to an equilibrium characterized by a thermal Gibbs distribution at temperature $T_{DS}$ which corresponds to a de Sitter invariant state. Hence, approach towards this state can be interpreted as thermalization. We show that the stochastic kinetic energy of the coarse-grained description corresponds to the norm of $\partial_μϕ$ and takes a well defined value per horizon volume $\frac{1}{2}\langle \left(\nablaϕ\right)^2\rangle = - \frac{1}{2}T_{DS}/V_H$. This approach allows for the non-perturbative computation of the de Sitter invariant stress energy tensor $\langle T_{μν} \rangle$ for an arbitrary scalar potential.
