TL;DR
This paper explores quantum cosmology with a varying speed of light, deriving a new tunneling probability formula for universe nucleation and proposing a non-singular instanton solution that differs from traditional models.
Contribution
It introduces a novel tunneling probability expression in VSL quantum cosmology and presents a non-singular instanton for universe nucleation, expanding understanding of early universe models.
Findings
Tunneling probability in VSL cosmology differs significantly from constant c models.
The probability can be strongly suppressed for large cosmological constant values.
A new non-singular instanton solution for universe nucleation is proposed.
Abstract
In quantum cosmology the closed universe can spontaneously nucleate out of the state with no classical space and time. The semiclassical tunneling nucleation probability can be estimated as where =const and is the cosmological constant. In classical cosmology with varying speed of light (VSL) it is possible to solve the horizon problem, the flatness problem and the -problem if with =const and . We show that in VSL quantum cosmology with the semiclassical tunneling nucleation probability is with =const and . Thus, the semiclassical tunneling nucleation probability in VSL quantum cosmology is very different from that in quantum cosmology with =const. In particular, it can be strongly suppressed for large values of . In addition, we…
