Fokker-Planck Equation and de Sitter Duality

Infra-Red scaling property of inflationary universe is in the same universality class of random walk. The two point correlators of the curvature perturbations are enhanced by the e-folding number N. The distribution function of the curvature perturbation $ρ_t (ζ)$ satisfies the Fokker Planck equation. The de Sitter universes are dual to the random walk: They belong to the Universality class of dimension two fractal. These boundary and bulk duality are at the heart of holography of quantum gravity. Historically the correspondence of thermodynamics and Einstein's equation are recognized as the first evidence for de Sitter duality .Our de Sitter duality relates the stochastic and geometric point of view. We study two types of the solutions of FP equation in quasi de Sitter space: (1) UV complete spacetime and (2) inflationary spacetime with concave potentials. The maximum entropy principle favors the following scenario: The universe is (a) born with small epsilon and (b) grows by inflation in the concave potential. We predict n_s <0.975(0.97) and r < 0.04(0.03) for N=50(60) at the pivot angle 0.002Mpc^{-1}. We have lowered the upper bound of $r$ by taking account of random walk effect at the boundary. Our predictions are highly consistent with recent observations.

Random Walk in the Boundary and Slow Roll in the Bulk

The slow rolling inflation is dual to the random walk of conformal zero-mode. The 2 dimensional Fokker-Planck theory predicts the slow roll parameters of 4d inflation theory. The O(N) enhancements of the two point functions, N is the e-folding number, suppress the slow roll parameters by the same magnitude. Under the gaussian approximation, FP equation boils down to a solvable first order partial differential equation. The identical equation is derived by the thermodynamic arguments . We study two types of the solutions of :(1) UV complete spacetime and (2) inflationary spacetime with power potentials. The concavity of entangled entropy dictates the potential of inflation is also concave. The maximum entropy principle favours the scenario: the universe is (a) born small and (b) grows large by inflation in the concave potentials. We predict 1-ns > 0.02(0.016) and r < 0.08(0.066) for N = 50(60)at the pivot angle 0.002(Mpc)-1. we propose a scenario to produce the curvature perturbation in the right ball park.

Holographic beta function in de Sitter space

The scale invariance of the universe is slightly broken by slow roll parameters. It is likely the slow roll is dual to the random walk. We investigate the distribution function of the conformal zeromode. We identify de Sitter entropy $S_{dS}$ with the distribution entropy of the conformal zeromode $ρ(ω)$. We have collected convincing support on our postulate. The semiclassical evidence is that the both are given by the gravitational coupling $1/g=\log N/2$ where $g=G_NH^2/π$ and $N$ is the e-folding number. We show the renormalized distribution function obeys gravitational Fokker-Planck equation (GFP) and Langevin equations . Under the Gaussian approximation, they boil down to a simple first order partial differential equation. The identical equation is derived by the thermodynamic arguments in the inflationary space-time. GFP determines the evolution of de Sitter entropy of the universe. It coincides with $β$ function of $g$. We find two types of the solutions of GFP:(1) UV complete spacetime and (2) inflationary spacetime with power potentials. The maximum entropy principle favors the scenario: (a) born small $ε$ and (b) grow large by inflation. We like to convey the emerging notion of de Sitter duality. The inflationary universe: (bulk/geometrical) is dual to the stochastic space-time on the boundary (cosmological horizon ) as the both are the solutions of GFP.

de Sitter Duality and Holographic Renormalization

We perform the resummation of the infrared logarithms in the inflationary universe. Applying the renormalization group, we derive the stochastic equations as the effective theory at the horizon. We focus on the conformal zero mode to respect local Lorentz symmetry. Under Gaussian approximation, we derive the fundamental equation for the Universe (EqU). We also derive the identical equation from the first law of thermodynamics in a dual geometric picture. We believe it is a convincing evidence for de Sitter duality between quantum stochastic physics on the boundary and classical thermodynamics in the bulk. The equation for the Universe (EqU) possesses the solution with the ultraviolet fixed point. It also contains the inflationary universe with the power potentials. We discuss possible scenarios for the very early universe with decreasing epsilon. We argue inflationary universe subsequently dominates to maximize the entropy and epsilon problem is naturally solved.

Curvature Perturbations and Anomaly explain Dark Energy

We investigate the history of dark energy to explain the present magnitude. We assume the dark energy is the residual cosmological constant. The most important channel in the reheating process is the gluon pair productions by QCD trace anomaly. We argue dark energy decays rapidly by gluon pair emissions during the reheating and after the big bang. The reheating temperature is determined by the decay width of dark energy Gamma and the Planck mass M_p as sqrt{M_P Gamma} ~ 10^6GeV. It is the consequence of Friedmann's equation and an equilibrium condition Gamma~ H. As the Universe cools below the hadronic scale, dark energy density is almost frozen. Nevertheless the dark energy further decreases by emitting two photons. We have estimated the current decay rate of dark energy from the QED trace anomaly. The consistent solution of Friedmann equation is in an excellent agreement with the observations. The suppression factor of dark energy scale is the product of fine structure constant alpha and curvature perturbation P as 10^{-30}=(α^2P/4π)^2. We argue the conformal symmetry breaking in the both UV and IR are necessary unless dark energy is subtracted. We also investigated lepto-genesis by adding massive right handed neutrinos. The realistic lepto-genesis takes place during reheating process.

Holographic $β$ function in de Sitter space

We investigate infrared logarithms in de Sitter space from holographic perspective. We employ a gravitational Fokker-Planck equation to investigate the time evolution of the de Sitter entropy $S=π/(G_N H^2)$, where $H$ is the Hubble parameter and $G_N$ is the Newton's constant. Under the Gaussian approximation, we obtain the dynamical $β$ function of $g=1/S$. It is asymptotically free toward the future. It also possesses the ultraviolet fixed point indicating that the Universe started the de Sitter expansion at the Planck scale. The pre-inflation era exists to prepare a special initial condition for the inflation era as a quantum remnant.

de Sitter duality and logarithmic decay of dark energy

We investigate infrared dynamics of four-dimensional Einstein gravity in de Sitter space. We set up a general framework to investigate dynamical scaling relations in quantum/classical gravitational theories. The conformal mode dependence of Einstein gravity is renormalized to the extent that general covariance is not manifest. We point out that the introduction of an inflaton is necessary as a counterterm. We observe and postulate a duality between quantum effects in Einstein gravity and classical evolutions in an inflation (or quintessence) model. The effective action of Einstein gravity can be constructed as an inflation model with manifest general covariance. We show that $g=G_N H^2/π$: the only dimensionless coupling of the Hubble parameter $H^2$ and the Newton's coupling $G_N$ in Einstein gravity is screened by the infrared fluctuations of the conformal mode. We evaluate the one-loop $β$ function of $g$ with respect to the cosmic time $\log Ht$ as $β(g)=-(1/2)g^2$, i.e., $g$ is asymptotically free toward the future. The exact $β$ function with the backreaction of $g$ reveals the existence of the ultraviolet fixed point. It indicates that the de Sitter expansion stared at the Planck scale with a minimal entropy $S=2$. We have identified the de Sitter entropy $1/g$ with the von Neumann entropy of the conformal zero mode. The former evolves according to the screening of $g$ and the Gibbons-Hawking formula. The latter is found to increase by diffusion in the stochastic process at the horizon in a consistent way. Our Universe is located very close to the fixed point $g=0$ with a large entropy. We discuss possible physical implications of our results such as logarithmic decay of dark energy.

Entropy Generation at the Horizon Diffuses Cosmological Constant in 2D de Sitter Space

We investigate a solution of the exactly renormalized Liouville action to foresee the fate of the two-dimensional de Sitter space. We work in the semiclassical region with a large matter central charge $c$. Instead of de Sitter expansion, it performs a slow-roll inflation with the parameters $ε=(1/2)η=6/c$. An inflaton field is induced in the effective theory to describe quantum effects of the Liouville theory. The geometric entropy increases logarithmically with the Hubble radius. We propose that de Sitter entropy is carried by superhorizon modes of the metric. It can be directly estimated from the partition function as $S=\log Z$ in Liouville gravity. We formulate a gravitational Fokker-Planck equation to elucidate the Brownian process at the horizon: the superhorizon modes are constantly jolted by newcomers. We show that such a built-in entropy-generating process diffuses the cosmological constant. We evaluate von Neumann entropy associated with the distribution function of superhorizon modes. It always increases under the Fokker-Planck equation in a consistent way with semiclassical estimates. The maximum entropy principle operates in quantum gravity. An analogous entropy production mechanism at the horizon might have increased the Hubble radius much beyond the microscopic physics scale in the Universe.

Non-Gaussian and loop effects of inflationary correlation functions in BRST formalism

We investigate inflationary correlation functions in single field inflation models. We adopt a BRST formalism where locality and covariance at the sub-horizon scale are manifest. The scalar and tensor perturbations are identified with those in the comoving gauge which become constant outside the cosmological horizon. Our construction reproduces the identical non-Gaussianity with the standard comoving gauge. The accumulation of almost scale invariant fluctuations could give rise to IR logarithmic corrections at the loop level. We investigate the influence of this effect on the sub-horizon dynamics. Since such an effect must respect covariance, our BRST gauge has an advantage over the standard comoving gauge. We estimate IR logarithmic effects to the slow-roll parameters at the one-loop level. We show that $ε$ receives IR logarithmic corrections, while this is not the case for $η$. We point out that IR logarithmic effects provide the shift symmetry breaking mechanism. This scenario may lead to an inflation model with a linear potential.

Effective Lagrangian in de Sitter Spacetime

Scale invariant fluctuations of metric are universal feature of quantum gravity in de Sitter spacetime. We construct an effective Lagrangian which summarizes their implications on local physics by integrating super-horizon metric fluctuations. It shows infrared quantum effects are local and render fundamental couplings time dependent. We impose Lorenz invariance on the effective Lagrangian as it is required by the principle of general covariance. We show that such a requirement leads to unique physical predictions by fixing the quantization ambiguities. We explain how the gauge parameter dependence of observables is canceled. In particular the relative evolution speed of the couplings are shown to be gauge invariant.

Time Dependent Couplings as Observables in de Sitter Space

We summarize and expand our investigations concerning the soft graviton effects on microscopic matter dynamics in de Sitter space. The physical couplings receive IR logarithmic corrections which are sensitive to the IR cut-off at the one-loop level. The scale invariant spectrum in the gravitational propagator at the super-horizon scale is the source of the de Sitter symmetry breaking. The quartic scalar, Yukawa and gauge couplings become time dependent and diminish with time. In contrast, the Newton's constant increases with time. We clarify the physical mechanism behind these effects in terms of the conformal mode dynamics in analogy with 2d quantum gravity. We show that they are the inevitable consequence of the general covariance and lead to gauge invariant predictions. We construct a simple model in which the cosmological constant is self-tuned to vanish due to UV-IR mixing effect. We also discuss phenomenological implications such as decaying Dark Energy and SUSY breaking at the Inflation era. The quantum effect alters the classical slow roll picture in general if the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ is as small as $0.01$.

Soft gravitational effects in Kadanoff-Baym approach

In de Sitter space, the gravitational fluctuation at the super-horizon scale may make physical quantities time dependent by breaking the de Sitter symmetry. We adopt the Kadanoff-Baym approach to evaluate soft gravitational effects in a matter system at the sub-horizon scale. This investigation proves that only the local terms contribute to the de Sitter symmetry breaking at the one-loop level. The IR singularities in the non-local terms cancel after summing over degenerate states between real and virtual processes. The corresponding IR cut-off is given by the energy resolution like QED. Since the energy resolution is physical and independent of cosmic evolution, the non-local contributions do not induce the de Sitter symmetry breaking. We can confirm that soft gravitational effects preserve the effective Lorentz invariance.

Soft Graviton effects on Gauge theories in de Sitter Space

We extend our investigation of soft graviton effects on the microscopic dynamics of matter fields in de Sitter space. We evaluate the quantum equation of motion in generic gauge theories. We find that the Lorentz invariance can be respected and the velocity of light is not renormalized at the one-loop level. The gauge coupling constant is universally screened by soft gravitons and diminishes with time. These features are in common with other four dimensional field theories with dimensionless couplings. In particular the couplings scale with time with definite scaling exponents. Although individual scaling exponents are gauge dependent, we argue that the relative scaling exponents are gauge independent and should be observable. We also mention soft graviton effects on cosmic microwave background.

Soft Gravitons Screen Couplings in de Sitter Space

The scale invariance of the quantum fluctuations in de Sitter space leads to the appearance of de Sitter symmetry breaking infra-red logarithms in the graviton propagator. We investigate physical effects of soft gravitons on the local dynamics of matter fields well inside the cosmological horizon. We show that the IR logarithms do not spoil Lorentz invariance in scalar and Dirac field theory. The leading IR logarithms can be absorbed by a time dependent wave function renormalization factor in the both cases. In the interacting field theory with $λϕ^4$ and Yukawa interaction, we find that the couplings become time dependent with definite scaling exponents. We argue that the relative scaling exponents of the couplings are gauge invariant and physical as we can use the evolution of a coupling as a physical time.

Scheme dependence of quantum gravity on de Sitter background

We extend our investigation of the IR effects on the local dynamics of matter fields in quantum gravity. Specifically we clarify how the IR effects depend on the change of the quantization scheme: different parametrization of the metric and the matter field redefinition. Conformal invariance implies effective Lorentz invariance of the matter system in de Sitter space. An arbitrary choice of the parametrization of the metric and the matter field redefinition does not preserve the effective Lorentz invariance of the local dynamics. As for the effect of different parametrization of the metric alone, the effective Lorentz symmetry breaking term can be eliminated by shifting the background metric. In contrast, we cannot compensate the matter field redefinition dependence by such a way. The effective Lorentz invariance can be retained only when we adopt the specific matter field redefinitions where all dimensionless couplings become scale invariant at the classical level. This scheme is also singled out by unitarity as the kinetic terms are canonically normalized.

Infra-red effects of Non-linear sigma model in de Sitter space

We extend our investigation on a possible de Sitter symmetry breaking mechanism in non-linear sigma models. The scale invariance of the quantum fluctuations could make the cosmological constant time dependent signaling the de Sitter symmetry breaking. To understand such a symmetry breaking mechanism, we investigate the energy-momentum tensor. We show that the leading infra-red logarithms cancel to all orders in perturbation theory in a generic non-linear sigma model. When the target space is an N sphere, the de Sitter symmetry is preserved in the large N limit. For a less symmetric target space, the infra-red logarithms appear at the three loop level. However there is a counter term to precisely cancel it. The leading infra-red logarithms do not cancel for higher derivative interactions. We investigate such a model in which the infra-red logarithms first appear at the three loop level. A nonperturbative investigation in the large N limit shows that they eventually grow as large as the one loop effect.

Non-linear sigma model in de Sitter space

We investigate infra-red dynamics of the non-linear sigma model in de Sitter space. In the presence of minimally coupled massless scalar fields, the de Sitter symmetry is dynamically broken and physical constants become time dependent. We find that the coupling constant of the non-linear sigma model becomes time dependent. The power counting arguments of the infra-red logarithms indicate that the cosmological constant also acquires time dependence. We find that such infra-red logarithms cancel out in a perturbative investigation up to the two loop level. We further demonstrate a non-perturbative non-renormalization of the cosmological constant in the large $N$ limit of the non-linear sigma model.

Boltzmann equation in de Sitter space

In a time dependent background like de Sitter space, Feynman-Dyson perturbation theory breaks down due to infra-red divergences. We investigate an interacting scalar field theory in Schwinger-Keldysh formalism. We derive a Boltzmann equation from a Schwinger-Dyson equation inside the cosmological horizon. Our solution shows that the particle production is compensated by the reduction of the on-shell states due to unitarity. Although the degrees of freedom inside the horizon leads to a small and diminishing screening effect of the cosmological constant, there is a growing screening effect from those outside the horizon.
