Quantum fluctuations of the compact phase space cosmology

Abstract

In the recent article Phys. Rev. D 100, no. 4, 043533 (2019) a compact phase space generalization of the flat de Sitter cosmology has been proposed. The main advantages of the compactification is that physical quantities are bounded, and the quantum theory is characterized by finite dimensional Hilbert space. Furthermore, by considering the ${\mathbb{S}}^2$ phase space, quantum description is constructed with the use $SU(2)$ representation theory. The purpose of this article is to apply effective methods to extract semi-classical regime of the quantum dynamics. The analysis is performed both without prior solving of the quantum constraint and by extracting physical Hamiltonian of the model. At the effective level, the results of the two procedures are shown to be equivalent. We find a nontrivial behavior of the fluctuations around the recollapse of the universe, which is distinct from what is found after quantization with the standard flat phase space. The behavior is reflected at the level of the modified Friedmann equation with quantum back-reaction effects, which is derived. Finally, an unexpected relation between the quantum fluctuations of the cosmological sector and the holographic Bousso bound is shown.
