Entropy Production in the Cosmological Amplification of the Vacuum Fluctuations
arXiv:gr-qc/9301010 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(93)91159-K
Abstract
We estimate the entropy associated to a background of squeezed cosmic gravitons, and we argue that the process of cosmological pair production from the vacuum may explain the large amount of entropy of our present universe.
