Quantum backreaction on a classical universe

Viqar Husain, Suprit Singh

英文摘要:

We study a first-order formulation for the coupled evolution of a quantum scalar field and a classical Friedmann universe. The model is defined by a state dependent hamiltonian constraint and the time dependent Schrödinger equation for the scalar field. We solve the resulting non-linear equations numerically for initial data consisting of a Gaussian scalar field state and gravity phase space variables. This gives a self-consistent semiclassical evolution that includes non-perturbative ``backreaction" due to particle production. We compare the results with the evolution of a quantum scalar field on a fixed background, and find that the backreaction modifies both particle production and cosmological expansion, and that these effects remain bounded.
