Singularity, initial conditions and quantum tunneling in modern cosmology
I. M. Khalatnikov, A. Yu. Kamenshchik L. D. Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences
Abstract:
The key problems of modern cosmology, such as the cosmological singularity, initial conditions, and the quantum tunneling hypothesis, are discussed. The relationship between the latest cosmological trends and L D Landau's old ideas is analyzed. Particular attention is given to the oscillatory approach to singularity; quantum tunneling processes determining wave function of the Universe in the presence of a compex scalar field; and the role of quantum corrections in these processes. The classical dynamics of closed models with a real scalar field is investigated from the standpoint of chaotic, fractal, and singularity-avoiding properties.
