A quantum cosmology approach to cosmic coincidence and inflation
arXiv:2210.02629 · doi:10.1016/j.dark.2023.101227
Abstract
This work studies the quantum cosmology of a closed, spatially homogeneous, and isotropic FLRW minisuperspace model with electromagnetic radiation as a matter content. We solve the associated Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation using the holographic regularization method and show that the electromagnetic zero-point energy forms the vacuum energy and provides a unified resolution to the horizon, flatness, singularity, and cosmic coincidence problems. This quantum cosmology approach composes an alternative to the usual inflationary paradigm and can be extended to more general matter contents and emergent gravity schemes.
