Quantum Cosmology and Tachyons

We discuss the relevance of the classical and quantum rolling tachyons inflation in the frame of the standard, p-adic and adelic minisuperspace quantum cosmology. The field theory of tachyon matter proposed by Sen in a zero-dimensional version suggested by Kar leads to a model of a particle moving in a constant external field with quadratic damping. We calculate the exact quantum propagator of the model, as well as, the vacuum states and conditions necessary to construct an adelic generalization.

Zero Dimensional Field Theory of Tachyon Matter

The first issue about the object (now) called tachyons was published almost one century ago. Even though there is no experimental evidence of tachyons there are several reasons why tachyons are still of interest today, in fact interest in tachyons is increasing. Many string theories have tachyons occurring as some of the particles in the theory. In this paper we consider the zero dimensional version of the field theory of tachyon matter proposed by A. Sen. Using perturbation theory and ideas of S. Kar, we demonstrate how this tachyon field theory can be connected with a classical mechanical system, such as a massive particle moving in a constant field with quadratic friction. The corresponding Feynman path integral form is proposed using a perturbative method. A few promising lines for further applications and investigations are noted.

Propagator for the Free Relativistic Particle on Archimedean and Nonarchimedean Spaces

We consider dynamics of a free relativistic particle at very short distances, treating space-time as archimedean as well as nonarchimedean one. Usual action for the relativistic particle is nonlinear. Meanwhile, in the real case, that system may be treated like a system with quadratic (Hamiltonian) constraint. We perform similar procedure in -adic case, as the simplest example of a nonarchimedean space. The existence of the simplest vacuum state is considered and corresponding Green function is calculated. Similarities and differences between obtained results on both spaces are examined and possible physical implications are discussed.
