Trace anomaly driven inflation
S. W. Hawking, T. Hertog, H. S. Reall
This paper investigates Starobinsky's model of inflation driven by the trace anomaly of conformally coupled matter fields. This model does not suffer from the problem of contrived…
Brane New World
S. W. Hawking, T. Hertog, H. S. Reall
We study a Randall-Sundrum cosmological scenario consisting of a domain wall in anti-de Sitter space with a strongly coupled large conformal field theory living on the wall. Th…
Gravitational Waves in Open de Sitter Space
S. W. Hawking, Thomas Hertog, Neil Turok
We compute the spectrum of primordial gravitational wave perturbations in open de Sitter spacetime. The background spacetime is taken to be the continuation of an O(5) symmetric in…
DeSitter entropy, quantum entanglement and ADS/CFT
Stephen Hawking, Juan Maldacena, Andrew Strominger
A deSitter brane-world bounding regions of anti-deSitter space has a macroscopic entropy given by one-quarter the area of the observer horizon. A proposed variant of the AdS/CFT co…
