宇宙蛋放松宇宙学常数

Cosmic eggs to relax the cosmological constant

Thomas Hertog, Rob Tielemans, Thomas Van Riet

摘要:

在额外维度的理论中,宇宙层次问题可以被认为是可观测宇宙的卡鲁扎-克莱因单位的不自然的大半径。我们勾勒出一个动力学机制,放松这一点。在我们提出的早期宇宙场景中,三个大的空间维度是通过从“宇宙蛋”中隧穿而产生的,这是一种有效的一维配置,所有空间维度都是紧凑的,并且具有可比的小尺寸。如果弦的景观是由低维紧化所主导的,宇宙蛋将是宇宙学的自然初始条件。对玩具蛋模型的量子宇宙学处理预测,在哈特-霍金状态的一个变体中,宇宙蛋破裂形成具有小但正的宇宙学常数或精华能量的高维宇宙。因此,宇宙蛋宇宙学给出了这样一个场景,在这个场景中,真空能量的看似不自然的小观测值可以从自然的初始条件中产生。

英文摘要:

In theories with extra dimensions, the cosmological hierarchy problem can be thought of as the unnaturally large radius of the observable universe in Kaluza-Klein units. We sketch a dynamical mechanism that relaxes this. In the early universe scenario we propose, three large spatial dimensions arise through tunneling from a 'cosmic egg', an effectively one-dimensional configuration with all spatial dimensions compact and of comparable, small size. If the string landscape is dominated by low-dimensional compactifications, cosmic eggs would be natural initial conditions for cosmology. A quantum cosmological treatment of a toy model egg predicts that, in a variant of the Hartle-Hawking state, cosmic eggs break to form higher dimensional universes with a small, but positive cosmological constant or quintessence energy. Hence cosmic egg cosmology yields a scenario in which the seemingly unnaturally small observed value of the vacuum energy can arise from natural initial conditions.
