挠率与暴胀概率

Torsion and the Probability of Inflation

Emma Albertini, Stephon Alexander, Gabriel Herczeg, Joao Magueijo

摘要:

我们从爱因斯坦-嘉当理论的角度重新审视了“膨胀概率”问题,即使在没有旋电流的情况下,挠率也可以存在于壳外。一个非正式的估计表明,如果存在扭转,即使只是离壳,从“无”隧穿到经典宇宙的势垒也会变得更薄更低。这一点通过详细的计算得到了证实,通常的假设在我们的情况下被重新评估和重新利用。有趣的是,文献中使用的一些近似(如WKB近似)一般不需要,特别是在我们的情况下。然而,当我们考虑以零挠率为中心的波包时,结论关键取决于它们是如何建立的。对于小的挠率方差σ_c,我们用Klein-Gordon电流公式来描述测量和概率,恢复了平面波的结果。尽管如此,对于大的σc,高阶校正可以逆转这一结论。

英文摘要:

We revisit the problem of the "probability of inflation" from the point of view of the Einstein-Cartan theory, where torsion can be present off-shell even in the absence of spinorial currents. An informal estimate suggests that the barrier for tunneling from "nothing" into a classical universe becomes thinner and lower, should torsion be present even if only off-shell. This is confirmed by a detailed calculation, where the usual assumptions are re-evaluated and repurposed in our situation. Interestingly some approximations used in the literature (such as the WKB approximation) are not needed in general, and in particular in our case. When we consider wave packets centered around zero torsion, however, the conclusion depends crucially how these are built. With a Klein-Gordon current prescription for the measure and probability, for small torsion variance, σ_c, we recover the plane wave results. Nonetheless, for large σc, higher order corrections could reverse this conclusion.
