振荡宇宙的量子不稳定性

Quantum instability of an oscillating universe

Thibault Damour, Alexander Vilenkin

摘要:

在量子宇宙学的框架下研究了具有大质量共形耦合标量场的振荡紧致Friedmann宇宙。的标量场被视为一个扰动,我们寻找的解决方案的惠勒-德威特方程描述稳定的模型的定态。我们假设先前在文献中讨论过的量子不稳定性的来源(粒子产生和隧穿到零尺寸)是不存在的。然后,我们表明,在相当一般的假设下,量子不稳定性的另一个来源,防止存在的定态与本地波函数的标量场模式的方向。

英文摘要:

An oscillating, compact Friedmann universe with a massive conformally coupled scalar field is studied in the framework of quantum cosmology. The scalar field is treated as a perturbation and we look for solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation describing stable stationary states of the model. We assume that the previous sources of quantum instability that have been discussed in the literature (particle production, and tunnelling to zero size) are absent. We then show, under rather general assumptions, that a further source of quantum instability prevents the existence of stationary states with localized wave function in the direction of the scalar-field modes.
