    Electromagnetic and Gravitational Radiation of Graviatoms

    Full text link
    Graviatom existence conditions have been found. The graviatoms (quantum systems around mini-black-holes) satisfying these conditions contain the following charged particles: the electron, muon, tau lepton, wino, pion and kaon. Electric dipole and quadrupole and gravitational radiations are calculated for the graviatoms and compared with Hawking's mini-hole radiation.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, 3 tables; accepted in "Astronomical and Astrophysical Transactions

    Gauge-noninvariance of quantum cosmology and vacuum dark energy

    We address the question how to adapt cosmological constant Λ\Lambda for description of a vacuum dark energy density jumping from the big initial value to the small today value suggested by observations. We find such a possibility in the gauge-noninvariance of quantum cosmology which leads to a connection between a choice of the gauge and quantum spectrum for a certain physical quantity which can be specified in the framework of the minisuperspace model. We introduce a particular gauge in which the cosmological constant Λ\Lambda is quantized and show that making a measurement of Λ\Lambda today one can find its small value with the biggest probability, while at the beginning of the evolution, the biggest probability corresponds to its biggest value. Transitions between quantum levels of Λ\Lambda in the course of the Universe evolution, could be related to several scales for symmetry breaking.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur

    Universes inside a Λ\Lambda black hole

    Full text link
    We address the question of universes inside a Λ\Lambda black hole which is described by a spherically symmetric globally regular solution to the Einstein equations with a variable cosmological term Λμν\Lambda_{\mu\nu}, asymptotically Λgμν\Lambda g_{\mu\nu} as r0r\to 0 with Λ\Lambda of the scale of symmetry restoration. Global structure of spacetime contains an infinite sequence of black and white holes, vacuum regular cores and asymptotically flat universes. Regular core of a Λ\Lambda white hole models the initial stages of the Universe evolution. In this model it starts from a nonsingular nonsimultaneous big bang, which is followed by a Kasner-type anisotropic expansion. Creation of a mass occurs mostly at the anisotropic stage of quick decay of the initial vacuum energy. We estimate also the probability of quantum birth of baby universes inside a Λ\Lambda black hole due to quantum instability of the de Sitter vacuum.Comment: REVTEX, 9 pages, 13 figures.

    Wave functions for arbitrary operator ordering in the de Sitter minisuperspace approximation

    Get PDF
    We derive exact series solutions for the Wheeler-DeWitt equation corresponding to a spatially closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe with cosmological constant for arbitrary operator ordering of the scale factor of the universe. The resulting wave functions are those relevant to the approximation which has been widely used in two-dimensional minisuperspace models with an inflationary scalar field for the purpose of predicting the period of inflation which results from competing boundary condition proposals for the wave function of the universe. The problem that Vilenkin's tunneling wave function is not normalizable for general operator orderings, is shown to persist for other values of the spatial curvature, and when additional matter degrees of freedom such as radiation are included.Comment: 12 pages, revTeX-3.

    Dynamical Vacuum in Quantum Cosmology

    Get PDF
    By regarding the vacuum as a perfect fluid with equation of state p=-rho, de Sitter's cosmological model is quantized. Our treatment differs from previous ones in that it endows the vacuum with dynamical degrees of freedom. Instead of being postulated from the start, the cosmological constant arises from the degrees of freedom of the vacuum regarded as a dynamical entity, and a time variable can be naturally introduced. Taking the scale factor as the sole degree of freedom of the gravitational field, stationary and wave-packet solutions to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation are found. It turns out that states of the Universe with a definite value of the cosmological constant do not exist. For the wave packets investigated, quantum effects are noticeable only for small values of the scale factor, a classical regime being attained at asymptotically large times.Comment: Latex, 19 pages, to appear in Gen.

    Instabilities of one-dimensional stationary solutions of the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation

    Full text link
    The two-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation admits a large family of one-dimensional bounded traveling-wave solutions. All such solutions may be written in terms of an amplitude and a phase. Solutions with piecewise constant phase have been well studied previously. Some of these solutions were found to be stable with respect to one-dimensional perturbations. No such solutions are stable with respect to two-dimensional perturbations. Here we consider stability of the larger class of solutions whose phase is dependent on the spatial dimension of the one-dimensional wave form. We study the spectral stability of such nontrivial-phase solutions numerically, using Hill's method. We present evidence which suggests that all such nontrivial-phase solutions are unstable with respect to both one- and two-dimensional perturbations. Instability occurs in all cases: for both the elliptic and hyperbolic nonlinear Schrodinger equations, and in the focusing and defocusing case.Comment: Submitted: 13 pages, 3 figure

    The rotation of astronomical objects may be of a cosmological origin due to the Universe's specific angular momentum estimates proving to exceed those for spiral galaxies. The problem is expected to be solved in the framework of quantum geometrodynamics. © World Scientific Publishing Company

    Quantum cosmology and the global rotation problem

    No full text
    The global rotation problem is expected to be solved in the framework of quantum geometrodynamics by quantizing Raychaudhuri's equation for a homogeneous expanding universe with rotation, shear and acceleration. Quantum birth probabilities have been calculated for a multicomponent cosmological model with nonzero angular momentum. Copyright © 2006 by World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd
