Initial Conditions in String Cosmology
arXiv:gr-qc/9806065 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.59.063511
Abstract
We take a critical look at a recent conjecture concerning the past attractor in the pre-big-bang scenario. We argue that the Milne universe is unlikely to be a general past attractor for such models and support this with a number of examples.
