We examine the solutions of the semilinear wave equation, and, in particular, of the [Formula: see text] model of quantum field theory in the curved spacetime. More exactly, for [Formula: see text] we prove that the solution of the massless self-interacting scalar field equation in the Einstein–de Sitter universe has finite lifespan.

Brs Symmetry

We generalize the topological model recently proposed and investigate the cosmological perturbations of the model. The model has an exact de Sitter background solution associated with the Becchi–Rouet–Stora (BRS) quartet terms which are regarded as the Lagrangian density of the topological field theory. The de Sitter solution can be selected without spontaneously breaking the BRS symmetry, and be interpreted as a gauge fixing of de Sitter spacetime. The BRS symmetry is preserved for the perturbations around the de Sitter background before we solve the constraints of general relativity. We derive action to the second-order of the perturbations and confirm that even after solving the constraints, we have the BRS symmetry at least for the second-order action. We construct the cosmological perturbation theory involving the BRS sector, and obtain the two-point correlation functions for the curvature perturbation and the isocurvature perturbations which compose the BRS sector. Our result gives a new description for de Sitter spacetime and the quantum field theory in de Sitter spacetime.

De Sitter Vacua

Abstract Recent progress in understanding de Sitter spacetime in supergravity and string theory has led to the development of a four dimensional supergravity with spontaneously broken supersymmetry allowing for de Sitter vacua, also called de Sitter supergravity. One approach makes use of constrained (nilpotent) superfields, while an alternative one couples supergravity to a locally supersymmetric generalization of the Volkov-Akulov goldstino action. These two approaches have been shown to give rise to the same 4D action. A novel approach to de Sitter vacua in supergravity involves the generalisation of unimodular gravity to supergravity using a super-Stückelberg mechanism. In this paper, we make a connection between this new approach and the previous two which are in the context of nilpotent superfields and the goldstino brane. We show that upon appropriate field redefinitions, the 4D actions match up to the cubic order in the fields. This points at the possible existence of a more general framework to obtain de Sitter spacetimes from high-energy theories.

Abstract We study wavefunctions of heavy scalars on de Sitter spacetime and their implications to dS/CFT correspondence. In contrast to light fields in the complementary series, heavy fields in the principal series oscillate outside the cosmological horizon. As a consequence, the quadratic term in the wavefunction does not follow a simple scaling and so it is hard to identify it with a conformal two-point function. In this paper, we demonstrate that it should be interpreted as a two-point function on a cyclic RG flow which is obtained by double-trace deformations of the dual CFT. This is analogous to the situation in nonrelativistic AdS/CFT with a bulk scalar whose mass squared is below the Breitenlohner-Freedman (BF) bound. We also provide a new dS/CFT dictionary relating de Sitter two-point functions and conformal two-point functions in the would-be dual CFT.
