FLRW时空中的奇点

Singularities in FLRW Spacetimes

Huibert het Lam, Tomislav Prokopec

摘要:

我们指出FLRW时空中测地线的过去不完全性并不一定意味着这些时空从奇点开始。也就是说,如果遵循这样一条轨迹的测试粒子具有非零速度,那么如果它一直遵循测地线,那么它的能量在过去的某个时间是超普朗克的。这表明粒子的描述被打破了,这就是为什么我们不应该在定义初始奇点时考虑这些轨迹。当我们只考虑那些没有这种轨道崩溃的测试粒子时,我们会发现唯一的奇异FLRW时空是那些在某个初始时刻尺度参数为零的时空。

英文摘要:

We point out that past-incompleteness of geodesics in FLRW spacetimes does not necessarily imply that these spacetimes start from a singularity. Namely, if a test particle that follows such a trajectory has a non-vanishing velocity, its energy was super-Planckian at some time in the past if it kept following that geodesic. That indicates a breakdown of the particle's description, which is why we should not consider those trajectories for the definition of an initial singularity. When one only considers test particles that do not have this breakdown of their trajectory, it turns out that the only singular FLRW spacetimes are the ones that have a scale parameter that vanishes at some initial time.
