    Lower bound on the cosmological constant from the classicality of the early Universe

    , Physical Review D, Vol: 106, Pages: 1-10, ISSN: 2470-0010

    We use the quantum unimodular theory of gravity to relate the value of the cosmological constant, Λ, and the energy scale for the emergence of cosmological classicality. The fact that Λ and unimodular time are complementary quantum variables implies a perennially quantum Universe should Λ be zero (or, indeed, fixed at any value). Likewise, the smallness of Λ puts an upper bound on its uncertainty, and thus a lower bound on the unimodular clock’s uncertainty or the cosmic time for the emergence of classicality. Far from being the Planck scale, classicality arises at around 7×1011  GeV for the observed Λ, and taking the region of classicality to be our Hubble volume. We confirm this argument with a direct evaluation of the wave function of the Universe in the connection representation for unimodular theory. Our argument is robust, with the only leeway being in the comoving volume of our cosmological classical patch, which should be bigger than that of the observed last scattering surface. Should it be taken to be the whole of a closed Universe, then the constraint depends weakly on Ωk: for −Ωk<10−3, classicality is reached at >4×1012  GeV. If it is infinite, then this energy scale is infinite, and the Universe is always classical within the minisuperspace approximation. It is a remarkable coincidence that the only way to render the Universe classical just below the Planck scale is to define the size of the classical patch as the scale of nonlinearity for a red spectrum with the observed spectral index ns=0.967(4) (about 1011 times the size of the current Hubble volume). In the context of holographic cosmology, we may interpret this size as the scale of confinement in the dual 3D quantum field theory, which may be probed (directly or indirectly) with future cosmological surveys.

    Positivity bounds in vector theories

    , The Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 86, Pages: 1-40, ISSN: 1029-8479

    Assuming unitarity, locality, causality, and Lorentz invariance of the, otherwise unknown, UV completion, we derive a new set of constraints on the effective field theory coefficients for the most general, ghost-free Generalized Proca and Proca Nuevo massive vector models. For the Generalized Proca model, we include new interactions that had not been previously considered in the context of positivity bounds and find these additional terms lead to a widened parameter space for the previously considered interactions. Although, the Generalized Proca and Proca Nuevo models are inequivalent, we find interesting analogues between the coefficients parameterizing the two models and the roles they play in the positivity bounds.

    Causal effective field theories

    , Physical Review D: Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, Vol: 106, Pages: 1-25, ISSN: 1550-2368

    Physical principles such as unitarity, causality, and locality can constrain the space of consistent effective field theories (EFTs) by imposing two-sided bounds on the allowed values of Wilson coefficients. In this paper, we consider the bounds that arise from the requirement of low energy causality alone, without appealing to any assumptions about UV physics. We focus on shift-symmetric theories, and consider bounds that arise from the propagation around both a homogeneous and a spherically symmetric scalar field background. We find that low energy causality, namely the requirement that there are no resolvable time advances within the regime of validity of the EFT, produces two-sided bounds in agreement with compact positivity constraints previously obtained from 2→2 scattering amplitude dispersion relations using full crossing symmetry.

    Torsion and the probability of inflation

    , Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, Vol: 2022, Pages: 1-14, ISSN: 1475-7516

    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. We perform a detailed calculation that supports this informal estimate for the case of torsion eigenstates. Finally, we impose a quantum mechanical analog of the zero-torsion condition by restricting to states for which the expectation value of the torsion vanishes. An explicit family of such states is obtained by building wave-packets from linear superpositions of torsion eigenstates with Gaussian weights centered around zero torsion. The tunneling probability for these wave packets is maximized when the variance of the torsion goes to zero. Hence, by considering these wave-packets as the physical states, we recover a sensible model of quantum cosmology that incorporates quantum fluctuations in the torsion, despite the apparently unacceptable conclusions one draws from naïvely considering the tunneling probabilities for the torsion eigenstates.

    Probing anisotropies of the Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background with LISA

    , Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, Vol: 2022, ISSN: 1475-7516

    We investigate the sensitivity of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) to the anisotropies of the Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background (SGWB). We first discuss the main astrophysical and cosmological sources of SGWB which are characterized by anisotropies in the GW energy density, and we build a Signal-to-Noise estimator to quantify the sensitivity of LISA to different multipoles. We then perform a Fisher matrix analysis of the prospects of detectability of anisotropic features with LISA for individual multipoles, focusing on a SGWB with a power-law frequency profile. We compute the noise angular spectrum taking into account the specific scan strategy of the LISA detector. We analyze the case of the kinematic dipole and quadrupole generated by Doppler boosting an isotropic SGWB. We find that β ΩGW ∼ 2 × 10-11 is required to observe a dipolar signal with LISA. The detector response to the quadrupole has a factor ∼ 103 β relative to that of the dipole. The characterization of the anisotropies, both from a theoretical perspective and from a map-making point of view, allows us to extract information that can be used to understand the origin of the SGWB, and to discriminate among distinct superimposed SGWB sources.

    Connection between cosmological time and the constants of nature

    , PHYSICAL REVIEW D, Vol: 106, Pages: 1-16, ISSN: 2470-0010

    We examine in greater detail the proposal that time is the conjugate of the constants of nature. Fundamentally distinct times are associated with different constants, a situation often found in “relational time” settings. We show how in regions dominated by a single constant the Hamiltonian constraint can be reframed as a Schrödinger equation in the corresponding time, solved in the connection representation by outgoing-only monochromatic plane waves moving in a “space” that generalizes the Chern-Simons functional (valid for the equation of state w=−1) for other w. We pay special attention to the issues of unitarity and the measure employed for the inner product. Normalizable superpositions can be built, including solitons, “light-rays” and coherent/squeezed states saturating a Heisenberg uncertainty relation between constants and their times. A healthy classical limit is obtained for factorizable coherent states, both in monofluid and multifluid situations. For the latter, we show how to deal with transition regions, where one is passing on the baton from one time to another, and investigate the fate of the subdominant clock. For this purpose minisuperspace is best seen as a dispersive medium, with packets moving with a group speed distinct from the phase speed. We show that the motion of the packets’ peaks reproduces the classical limit even during the transition periods, and for subdominant clocks once the transition is over. Deviations from the coherent/semiclassical limit are expected in these cases, however. The fact that we have recently transitioned from a decelerating to an accelerating Universe renders this proposal potentially testable, as explored elsewhere.

    Leigh-Strassler compactified on a spindle

    , The Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2022, Pages: 1-47, ISSN: 1029-8479

    We construct a new class of supersymmetric AdS3 × Y7 solutions of type IIB supergravity, where Y7 is an S5 fibration over a spindle, which are dual to d = 2, N = (0, 2) SCFTs. The solutions are constructed in a sub-truncation of D = 5, SO(6) maximal gauged supergravity and they all lie within the anti-twist class. We show that the central charge computed from the gravity solutions agrees with an anomaly polynomial calculation associated with compactifying the N = 1, d = 4 Leigh-Strassler SCFT on a spindle.

    Possible quantum effects at the transition from cosmological deceleration to acceleration

    , Physical Review D, Vol: 106, Pages: 1-13, ISSN: 2470-0010

    The recent transition from decelerated to accelerated expansion can be seen as a reflection (or “bounce”) in the connection variable, defined by the inverse comoving Hubble length (b=˙a, on shell). We study the quantum cosmology of this process. We use a formalism for obtaining relational time variables either through the demotion of the constants of nature to integration constants, or by identifying fluid constants of motion. We extend its previous application to a toy model (radiation and Λ) to the realistic setting of a transition from dust matter to Λ domination. In the dust and Λ model two time variables may be defined, conjugate to Λ and to the dust constant of motion, and we work out the monochromatic solutions to the Schrödinger equation representing the Hamiltonian constraint. As for their radiation and Λ counterparts, these solutions exhibit “ringing,” whereby the incident and reflected waves interfere, leading to oscillations in the amplitude. In the semiclassical approximation we find that, close to the bounce, the probability distribution becomes double peaked, one peak following a trajectory close to the classical limit but with a Hubble parameter slightly shifted downwards, the other with a value of b stuck at its minimum b=b⋆. Still closer to the transition, the distribution is better approximated by an exponential distribution, with a single peak at b=b⋆, and a (more representative) average b biased towards a value higher than the classical trajectory. Thus, we obtain a distinctive prediction for the average Hubble parameter with redshift: slightly lower than its classical value when z≈0, but potentially much higher than the classical prediction around z∼0.64, where the bounce most likely occurred. The implications for the “Hubble tension” have not escaped us.

    Integrable supersymmetric deformations of AdS(3)x S(3)x T-4

    , The Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2022, Pages: 1-39, ISSN: 1029-8479

    We construct a family of type IIB string backgrounds that are deformations of AdS3 × S3 × T4 with a “squashed” AdS3 × S3 metric supported by a combination of NSNS and RR fluxes. They have global SU(1, 1) × SU(2) symmetry, regular curvature, constant dilaton and preserve 8 supercharges. Upon compactification to 4 dimensions they reduce to N = 2 supersymmetric AdS2 × S2 solutions with electric and magnetic Maxwell fluxes. These type IIB supergravity solutions can be found from the undeformed AdS3 × S3 × T4 background by a combination of T-dualities and S-duality. In contrast to T-duality, S-duality transformations of a type IIB supergravity background do not generally preserve the classical integrability of the corresponding Green-Schwarz superstring sigma model. Nevertheless, we show that integrability is preserved in the present case. Indeed, we find that these backgrounds can be obtained, up to T-dualities, from an integrable inhomogeneous Yang-Baxter deformation (with unimodular Drinfel’d-Jimbo R-matrix) of the original AdS3 × S3 supercoset model.

    Well-posed UV completion for simulating scalar Galileons

    , Physical Review D: Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, Vol: 106, Pages: 1-10, ISSN: 1550-2368

    The Galileon scalar field theory is a prototypical example of an effective field theory that exhibits the Vainshtein screening mechanism, which is incorporated into many extensions to Einstein gravity. The Galileon describes the helicity-zero mode of gravitational radiation, the presence of which has significant implications for predictions of gravitational waves from orbiting objects and for tests of gravity sensitive to additional polarizations. Because of the derivative nature of their interactions, Galileons are superficially not well posed as effective field theories. Although this property is properly understood merely as an artifact of the effective field theory truncation, and is not theoretically worrisome, at the practical level it nevertheless renders numerical simulation highly problematic. Notwithstanding, previous numerical approaches have successfully evolved the system for reasonable initial data by slowly turning on the interactions. We present here two alternative approaches to improving numerical stability in Galileon numerical simulations. One of these is a minor modification of previous approaches, which introduces a low-pass filter that amounts to imposing a UV cutoff together with a relaxation method of turning on interactions. The second approach amounts to constructing a (numerical) UV completion for which the dynamics of the high momentum modes is under control and for which it is unnecessary to slowly turn on nonlinear interactions. We show that numerical simulations of the UV theory successfully reproduce the correct Galileon dynamics at low energies, consistent with the low-pass filter method and with previous numerical simulations.

    M5-branes wrapped on four-dimensional orbifolds

    , Publisher: ArXiv

    We construct supersymmetric $AdS_3$ solutions of $D=11$ supergravity, dual to$d=2$, $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ SCFTs, that are associated with M5-branes wrappingtwo different four-dimensional orbifolds. In one case the orbifold is a spindlefibred over another spindle, while in the other it is a spindle fibred over aRiemann surface with genus $g>1$. We show that the central charges of the $d=2$SCFTs calculated from the gravity solutions agree with field theorycomputations using anomaly polynomials. The new $D=11$ solutions are obtainedafter constructing a new consistent Kaluza-Klein truncation of maximal $D=7$gauged supergravity reduced on a spindle down to $D=5$ minimal gaugedsupergravity.
