Measure problem in cosmology
@article{Gibbons2008MeasurePI, title={Measure problem in cosmology}, author={G. W. Gibbons and Neil Turok}, journal={Physical Review D}, year={2008}, volume={77}, pages={063516} }
The Hamiltonian structure of general relativity provides a natural canonical measure on the space of all classical universes, i.e., the multiverse. We review this construction and show how one can visualize the measure in terms of a 'magnetic flux' of solutions through phase space. Previous studies identified a divergence in the measure, which we observe to be due to the dilatation invariance of flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker universes. We show that the divergence is removed if we…

General relativity has a Hamiltonian formulation, which formally provides a canonical (Liouville) measure on the space of solutions. In ordinary statistical physics, the Liouville measure is used to…

One of the most frustrating issues in early universe cosmology centers on how to reconcile the vast choice of universes in string theory and in its most plausible high energy sibling, eternal…
Initial conditions of inflation in a Bianchi I Universe

We investigate the initial conditions of inflation in a Bianchi~I universe that is homogeneous but not isotropic. We use the Eisenhart lift to describe such a theory geometrically as geodesics on a…

Inflationary cosmology attempts to provide a natural explanation for the flatness and homogeneity of the observable universe. In the context of reversible (unitary) evolution, this goal is difficult…

Inflation is most often described using quantum field theory (QFT) on a fixed, curved spacetime background. Such a description is valid only if the spatial volume of the region considered is so large…

We discuss eternal inflation in context of classical probability spaces defined by a triplet: sample space, �-algebra and probability measure. We show that the measure problem is caused by the…

There are two main approaches to non-equlibrium statistical mechanics: one using stochastic processes and the other using dynamical systems. To model the dynamics during inflation one usually adopts…

We consider the claim of Hawking and Page that the canonical measure applied to Friedmann--Robertson--Walker models with a massive scalar field can solve the flatness problem, i.e. , regardless of…

If one is interested in cosmological models with inflation occurring at or near the Planck energy then the effects of quantum gravity have to be taken into account. We may still hope to use an…

Inflationary models are generally credited with explaining the large scale homogeneity, isotropy, and flatness of our universe as well as accounting for the origin of structure (i.e., the deviations…

A proposal for the wave function of the "ground state" or state of minimum excitation: the ground-state amplitude for a three-geometry is given by a path integral over all compact positive-definite four-geometries which have the three- geometries as a boundary.
