Obstacles to constructing de Sitter space in string theory

Journal Article Dine, Michael ; Law-Smith, Jamie A. P. ; Sun, Shijun ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

There have been many attempts to construct de Sitter space-times in string theory. While arguably there have been some successes, this has proven challenging, leading to the de Sitter swampland conjecture: quantum theories of gravity do not admit stable or metastable de Sitter space. Here we explain that, within controlled approximations, one lacks the tools to construct de Sitter space in string theory. Such approximations would require the existence of a set of (arbitrarily) small parameters, subject to severe constraints. But beyond this one also needs an understanding of big-bang and big-crunch singularities that is not currently accessible to standardmore »« less

de Sitter Space in Non-Critical String Theory

Technical Report Silverstein, Eva M

Supercritical string theories in D > 10 dimensions with no moduli are described, generalizing the asymmetric orientifold construction of one of the authors [1]. By taking the number of dimensions to be large and turning on fluxes, dilaton potentials are generated with nontrivial minima at arbitrarily small cosmological constant and D-dimensional string coupling, separated by a barrier from a flat-space linear dilaton region, but possibly suffering from strong coupling problems. The general issue of the decay of a de Sitter vacuum to flat space is discussed. For relatively small barriers, such decays are described by gravitational instantons. It is shownmore »« less

Self-adjointness-based quantum field theory in de Sitter and anti--de Sitter space-time

Journal Article Rumpf, H - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

As an alternative to existing quantization schemes, the self-adjointness of the classical field equations is employed as the basic principle for the quantization of a scalar field of arbitrary mass m. The results thus obtained in de Sitter space differ markedly from previous ones based on the so-called Euclidean approach to quantum field theory. It is argued that if m/sup 2/>(4R/sup 2/)/sup -1/ (R is the de Sitter radius) a geodesic observer will detect a constant flux of particles coming from the cosmological event horizon. In contrast to the result of Gibbons and Hawking, however, the spectrum is nonthermal. Formore »« less

Strings in five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space with a symmetry

Journal Article Koike, Tatsuhiko ; Kozaki, Hiroshi ; Ishihara, Hideki ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The equation of motion of an extended object in spacetime reduces to an ordinary differential equation in the presence of symmetry. By properly defining the symmetry with the notion of cohomogeneity, we discuss the method for classifying all these extended objects. We carry out the classification for the strings in the five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space by the effective use of the local isomorphism between SO(4,2) and SU(2,2). In the case where the string is described by the Nambu-Goto action, we present a general method for solving the trajectory. We then apply the method to one of the classification cases, wheremore »« less
