Why did the Universe Inflate?

Microwave Background Radiation

Why did the Universe Inflate? Why did the scalar field start with a high value of the potential, and run down to a minimum? Why didn’t it just start at the minimum?

No boundary amplitude   [h ij,  ]  = Dg e -S[g] Sum over all metrics that have  a boundary and where the induced metric on  is h ij.

Wheeler DeWitt Equation -G ijkl δ 2 δh ij δh kl 3 R(h) h ½ + 2Λh ½ Ψ [h ij ] = 0 Where G ijkl is the metric on superspace, G ijkl = ½ h -½ (h ik h jl + h il h jk – h ij h kl ) and 3 R is the scalar curvature of the intrinsic geometry of the three-surface.

WKB Approximation Ψ = B e iC Δ C·C· Δ C + J = 0 Δ B·B· Δ C = 0

No Boundary Amplitude N Amplitude Amplitude = e 1/m 2 N

Volume Weighting Surface of present matter density Hubble Volume P( Observing a Hubble Volume ) = | Ψ | 2 × Number of Hubble Volumes MIIMM∞ | Ψ | 2 e 3N Time Space

Volume Weighted Probability Initial φ Probability Planck Density Quadratic Potential

Volume Weighted Probability Initial φ Probability φ = φ m Potential with a Maximum at φ = φ m

Why did the Universe Inflate? Volume weighting gives a high probability of a large amount of Inflation
