The CWKB Method of Particle Production in Periodic Potential
In this work we study the particle production in time dependent periodic
potential using the method of complex time WKB (CWKB) approximation. In the
inflationary cosmology at the end of inflationary stage, the potential becomes
time dependent as well as periodic. Reheating occurs due to particle production
by the oscillating inflaton field. Using CWKB we obtain almost identical
results on catastrophic particle production as obtained by others.Comment: 17 pages, latex, 2 figure
Schroedinger Wheeler-DeWitt Equation In Multidimensional Cosmology
We study multidimensional cosmology to obtain the wavefunction of the
universe using wormhole dominance proposal. Using a prescription for time we
obtain the Schroedinger-Wheeler-DeWitt equation without any reference to WD
equation and WKB ansatz for WD wavefunction. It is found that the
Hartle-Hawking or wormhole-dominated boundary conditions serve as a seed for
inflation as well as for Gaussian type ansatz to Schroedinger-Wheeler-DeWitt
equation.Comment: 10 Pages, LaTeX, no figur
The Arbitrary Trajectory Quantization Method
The arbitrary trajectory quantization method (ATQM) is a time dependent
approach to quasiclassical quantization based on the approximate dual
relationship that exists between the quantum energy spectra and classical
periodic orbits. It has recently been shown however, that, for polygonal
billiards, the periodicity criterion must be relaxed to include closed
almost-periodic (CAP) orbit families in this relationship. In light of this
result, we reinvestigate the ATQM and show that at finite energies, a
smoothened quasiclassical kernel corresponds to the modified formula that
includes CAP families while the delta function kernel corresponding to the
periodic orbit formula is recovered at high energies. Several clarifications
are also provided.Comment: revtex, ps figure
