Quantum cosmological origin of universe

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the paper "Quantum Cosmological Origin of Universes" by V.N. Pervushin and V.A. Zinchuk, which establishes a direct pathway from Hilbert's "Foundation of Physics" to Quantum Gravity through Dirac's Hamiltonian reduction of General Relativity and Bogoliubov's transformation. The authors propose that the cosmological scale factor acts as a zero mode of momentum constraints, linking it to the CMB "primordial power spectrum" without the double counting issue present in traditional Hamiltonian cosmological perturbation theory. They argue that the CMB radiation may result from primordial vector W- and Z-bosons created from the vacuum, aligning with the inflationary model's equations. This novel approach offers a fresh perspective on the origins of universes and particles.

A direct pathway from Hilbert's ``Foundation of Physics'' to Quantum Gravity is established through Dirac's Hamiltonian reduction of General Relativity and Bogoliubov's transformation by analogy with a similar pathway passed by QFT in 20th century. The cosmological scale factor appears on this pathway as a zero mode of the momentum constraints treated as a global excitation of the Landau superfluid liquid type. This approach would be considered as the foundation of the well--known Lif****z cosmological perturbation theory, if it did not contain the double counting of the scale factor as an obstruction to the Dirac Hamiltonian method. After avoiding this ``double counting'' the Hamiltonian cosmological perturbation theory does not contain the time derivatives of gravitational potentials that are responsible for the CMB ``primordial power spectrum'' in the inflationary model.
The Hilbert -- Dirac -- Bogoliubov Quantum Gravity gives us another possibility to explain this ``spectrum'' and other topical problems of cosmology by the cosmological creation of both universes and particles from Bogoliubov's vacuum. We listed the set of theoretical and observational arguments in favor of that the CMB radiation can be a final product of primordial vector W-, Z- bosons cosmologically created from the vacuum when their Compton length coincides with the universe horizon. The equations describing longitudinal vector bosons in SM, in this case, are close to the equations of the inflationary model used for description of the ``power primordial spectrum'' of the CMB radiation.

The paper presents an interesting and novel approach to the cosmological origin of universes, connecting Hilbert's "Foundation of Physics" to Quantum Gravity. The authors propose that the cosmological scale factor can be seen as a zero mode of the momentum constraints, which are treated as a global excitation of the Landau superfluid liquid type. This approach is then used to explain the CMB "primordial power spectrum" and other problems in cosmology.

The idea of cosmological creation of universes and particles from the vacuum is intriguing and could potentially provide a new perspective on the origin of our universe. The authors also provide a set of theoretical and observational arguments to support their proposal, which adds credibility to their approach.

However, further research and evidence is needed to fully validate this theory. The paper also mentions the issue of "double counting" in the Hamiltonian cosmological perturbation theory, which needs to be addressed in order for this approach to be fully viable.

Overall, this paper presents a thought-provoking and potentially groundbreaking idea in the field of cosmology. It will be interesting to see how this theory develops and what implications it may have for our understanding of the universe.
