Classical and quantum cosmology of the Starobinsky inflationary model

Vilenkin, Alexander·1985·Physical Review D

Abstract

Starobinsky has suggested an inflationary cosmological scenario in which the inflation is driven by quantum corrections to the vacuum Einstein's equations. Here a detailed review of the Starobinsky scenario is given and an observational constraint on the parameters of the model is derived. The quantum mechanics of the model is studied first using the instanton method, and then by solving the corresponding Wheeler-DeWitt equation. A cosmological wave function is obtained describing a universe tunneling from ``nothing'' to the Starobinsky inflationary phase. The curvature fluctuations in the tunneling universe are calculated. This quantum analysis determines the initial conditions for the classical evolution of the model.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
