We find that the expansion of the universe is accelerating by analyzing the recent observation data of type Ia supernova (SN-Ia). It indicates that the equation of state of the dark energy might be smaller than -1, which leads to the introduction of phantom models featured by its negative kinetic energy to account for the regime of equation of state parameter w < -1. In this paper the possibility of using a non-minimally coupled real scalar field as phantom to realize the equation of state parameter w < -1 is discussed. The main equations which govern the evolution of the universe are obtained. Then we rewrite them with the observable quantities. 相似文献

With the usual definitions for the entropy and the temperature associated with the apparent horizon, we discuss the first law of the thermodynamics on the apparent in the general scalar-tensor theory of gravity with the kinetic term of the scalar field non-minimally coupling to Einstein tensor. We show the equivalence between the first law of thermodynamics on the apparent horizon and Friedmann equation for the general models, by using a mass-like function which is equal to the Misner-Sharp mass on the apparent horizon. The results further support the universal relationship between the first law of thermodynamics and Friedmann equation. 相似文献

It has been shown that anisotropy of homogeneous spacetime described by the general Kasner metric can be damped by quantum fluctuations coming from perturbative quantum gravity in one-loop approximation. Also, a formal argument, not limited to one-loop approximation, is put forward in favor of stability of isotropy in the exactly isotropic case. 相似文献

The probability representation of quantum mechanics including propagators and tomograms of quantum states of the universe
and its application to quantum gravity and cosmology are reviewed. The minisuperspaces modeled by oscillator, free pointlike
particle and repulsive oscillator are considered. The notion of tomographic entropy and its properties are used to find some
inequalities for the tomographic probability determining the quantum state of the universe. The sense of the inequality as
a lower bound for the entropy is clarified. 相似文献

The status of quantum cosmologies as testable models of the early universe is assessed in the context of inflation. While traditional Wheeler–DeWitt quantization is unable to produce sizable effects in the cosmic microwave background, the more recent loop quantum cosmology can generate potentially detectable departures from the standard cosmic spectrum. Thus, present observations constrain the parameter space of the model, which could be made falsifiable by near‐future experiments. 相似文献

A brief overview on the subject of Supersymmetric Quantum Cosmology (SQC) is presented here. Different approaches are described, all of them being inspired by the search of a square root of (quantum) General Relativity. Some new ideas in the form of a list of (still!) open problems and an extensive bibliography are included. 相似文献

Aspects of the full theory of loop quantum gravity can be studied in a simpler context by reducing to symmetric models like
cosmological ones. This leads to several applications where loop effects play a significant role when one is sensitive to
the quantum regime. As a consequence, the structure of and the approach to classical singularities are very different from
general relativity. The quantum theory is free of singularities, and there are new phenomenological scenarios for the evolution
of the very early universe such as inflation. We give an overview of the main effects, focussing on recent results obtained
by different groups. 相似文献

Within the context of the Fermi-bounce curvaton mechanism, we analyze the one-loop radiative corrections to the four-fermion interaction, generated by the non-dynamical torsion field in the Einstein-Cartan-Holst-Sciama-Kibble theory. We show that contributions that arise from the one-loop radiative corrections modify the energy-momentum tensor, mimicking an effective Ekpyrotic fluid contribution. Therefore, we call this effect quantum Ekpyrotic mechanism. This leads to the dynamical washing out of anisotropic contributions to the energy-momentum tensor, without introducing any new extra Ekpyrotic fluid. We discuss the stability of the bouncing mechanism and derive the renormalization group flow of the dimensional coupling constant ξ, checking whether any change of its sign takes place towards the bounce. This enforces the theoretical motivations in favor of the torsion curvaton bounce cosmology as an alternative candidate to the inflation paradigm. 相似文献

We begin by giving correct expressions for the short-time action following the work Makri–Miller. We use these estimates to derive an accurate expression modulo Δt2 for the quantum propagator and we show that the quantum potential is negligible modulo Δt2 for a point source, thus justifying an unfortunately largely ignored observation of Holland made twenty years ago. We finally prove that this implies that the quantum motion is classical for very short times. 相似文献

We construct a DGP inspired braneworld scenario where a scalar field non-minimally coupled to the induced Ricci curvature is present on the brane. We show that this model allows for an embedding of the standard Friedmann cosmology in the sense that the cosmological evolution of the background metric on the brane can be described by the standard Friedmann equation. 相似文献

The probability representation, in which cosmological quantum states are described by a standard positive probability distribution,
is constructed for minisuperspace models selected by Noether symmetries. In such a case, the tomographic probability distribution
provides the classical evolution for the models and can be considered an approach to select “observable” universes. Some specific
examples, derived from Extended Theories of Gravity, are worked out. We discuss also how to connect tomograms, symmetries
and cosmological parameters. 相似文献

A definition for the intrinsic time co-ordinate is proposed, using the phase of the wave function of the universe. This definition
generalizes the notion of time co-ordinate which arises in the semiclassical cosmology. It also leads to acceptable results
for the evaluation of expectation values of physical variables. 相似文献

Quantization is performed for a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe filled with a conformally invariant scalar field and a perfect fluid with equation of state p = . A well-known discrete set of static quantum wormholes is shown to exist for radiation ( = 1/3), and a novel continuous set is found for cosmic strings ( = –1/3), the latter states having throat radii of any size. In both cases wave-packet solutions to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation are obtained with all the properties of evolving quantum wormholes. In the case of a radiation fluid, a detailed analysis of the quantum dynamics is made in the context of the Bohm-de Broglie interpretation. It is shown that a repulsive quantum force inversely proportional to the cube of the scale factor prevents singularities in the quantum domain. For the states considered, there are no particle horizons either. 相似文献

In this paper, we re-examine a series of gedanken welcher Weg (WW) experiments introduced by Scully, Englert and Walther that contain the essential ideas underlying the quantum eraser. For this purpose we use the Bohm model which gives a sharp picture of the behaviour of the atoms involved in these experiments. This model supports the thesis that interference disappears in such WW experiments, even though the centre of mass wave function remains coherent throughout the experiment. It also shows exactly what it means to say ‘that the interference can be restored by manipulating the WW detectors long after the atoms have passed’. It does not support Wheeler’s notion that ‘the past is undefined and undefinable without the observation (in the present)’. 相似文献

There are many theories of quantum gravity, depending on asymptotic boundary conditions, and the amount of supersymmetry. The cosmological constant is one of the fundamental parameters that characterizes different theories. If it is positive, supersymmetry must be broken. A heuristic calculation shows that a cosmological constant of the observed size predicts superpartners in the TeV range. This mechanism for SUSY breaking also puts important constraints on low energy particle physics models. 相似文献
