Anisotropic String Cosmology at Large Curvatures
Stefano Foffa, Michele Maggiore
We study the effect of the antisymmetric tensor field on the large curvature phase of string cosmology. It is well-known that a non-vanishing value of leads to an a…
Group theoretical derivation of Liouville action for Regge surfaces
Pietro Menotti
We show that the structure of the Liouville action on a two dimensional Regge surface of the topology of the sphere and of the torus is determined by the invariance under the trans…
Quantum tetrahedra and simplicial spin networks
A. Barbieri
A new link between tetrahedra and the group SU(2) is pointed out: by associating to each face of a tetrahedron an irreducible unitary SU(2) representation and by imposing that the…
The fine tuning problem in pre-big-bang inflation
Michele Maggiore, Riccardo Sturani
We examine the effect of spatial curvature in the pre-big-bang inflationary model suggested by string theory. We study corrections and we show that, independently of the in…
Functional integration for Regge gravity
Pietro Menotti, Pier Paolo Peirano
A summary is given of recent exact results concerning the functional integration measure in Regge gravity.
The graviton background at early times in string cosmology
Michele Maggiore
We discuss some peculiar properties of the stochastic graviton background predicted by string cosmology. At Planckian times, for the values of the parameters of the model which are…
