Implications for the Cosmological Landscape: Can Thermal Inputs from a Prior Universe Account for Relic Graviton Production?

TL;DR

This paper proposes a mechanism where wormhole transitions from a prior universe's thermal state could produce relic gravitons, linking early universe thermodynamics with observable gravitational wave relics.

Contribution

It introduces a novel thermal transition model from a prior universe to explain relic graviton production and connects it with thermally scaled vacuum energy effects in early universe dynamics.

Findings

Relic gravitons can originate from wormhole transitions.

Thermal inputs from a prior universe influence early universe field dynamics.

A link between vacuum energy and relic graviton production is proposed.

Abstract

We present a way to accomodate relic graviton production via worm hole transitions of prior universe thermal / energy density values to our present universe. This is done in the context of providing a mechanism for thermally driven relic gravitons, and also to explain how Park's 2003 observation as to how a thermally scaled vacuum energy value plays a role in forming the early universe emergent field dynamics
