Dhurjati Prasad Datta
TL;DR
This paper explores how induced gauge interactions contribute to decoherence in quantum cosmology and introduces a gauge-variant form of the semiclassical Einstein equations to clarify vacuum polarization energy.
Contribution
It demonstrates the natural occurrence of decoherence due to geometric gauge interactions and presents a new gauge-variant formulation of semiclassical Einstein equations.
Findings
Decoherence arises from induced geometric gauge interactions.
A gauge-variant form of Einstein equations clarifies vacuum energy.
Vacuum polarization energy is shown to be non-gravitating.
Abstract
Decoherence in quantum cosmology is shown to occur naturally in the presence of induced geometric gauge interactions associated with particle production.A new 'gauge '-variant form of the semiclassical Einstein equations is also presented which makes the non-gravitating character of the vacuum polarisation energy explicit.
