各向异性宇宙的洛伦兹真空跃迁

Lorentzian Vacuum Transitions for Anisotropic Universes

H. García-Compeán, D. Mata-Pacheco

摘要:

在Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin近似下研究了具有标量场势的各向异性宇宙的真空跃迁几率。我们遵循Cespedes等人的工作[Phys. Rev. D 104,026013(2021)],其使用Wheeler-DeWitt方程,Lorentzian Hamiltonian方法和薄壁极限在各向同性背景下讨论了这些转变。首先,我们提出了一个通用的程序,以适应他们的形式主义计算任何超空间模型的衰变率。然后,我们应用它来计算的弗里德曼-Lemaitre-罗伯逊-沃克(FLRW)度量的正曲率和零曲率,再现以这种方式在塞斯佩德斯等人的结果之一。然后,我们继续应用的形式主义三个各向异性度量,即,Kantowski-Sachs,Bianchi III和双轴Bianchi IX计算这三种情况下的速率衰减。在这个过程中,我们发现,这种方法涉及到一些条件,这些条件与有效的独立自由度的数量有关,从而导致所有的概率只用两个自变量来描述。对于比安奇III度规,我们发现,各向异性的一般效果是降低跃迁概率的各向异性程度的增加,具有作为各向同性限制的平坦FLRW结果。

英文摘要:

The vacuum transition probabilities for anisotropic universes in the presence of a scalar field potential in the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation are studied. We follow the work by Cespedes et al [Phys. Rev. D 104, 026013 (2021)], which discuss these transitions in the isotropic context using the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, the Lorentzian Hamiltonian approach and the thin wall limit. First, we propose a general procedure to adapt their formalism to compute the decay rates for any superspace model. Then we apply it to compute the transition probabilities of an Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric with both positive and zero curvature, reproducing in this way one of the results obtained at Cespedes et al. We then proceed to apply the formalism to three anisotropic metrics, namely, Kantowski-Sachs, Bianchi III and biaxial Bianchi IX to compute the rate decays for these three cases. In the process we find that this method involves some conditions which relates the effective number of independent degrees of freedom resulting on all probabilities being described with only two independent variables. For the Bianchi III metric, we find that a general effect of anisotropy is to decrease the transition probability as the degree of anisotropy is increased, having as the isotropic limit the flat FLRW result.
