abstract

We study the dynamics of isotropic and homogeneous universes in the generalized Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity, and classify all possible evolutions of vacuum spacetime. In the case without the detailed balance condition, we find a variety of phase structures of vacuum spacetimes depending on the coupling constants as well as the spatial curvature $K$ and a cosmological constant $\Lambda$. A bounce universe solution is obtained for $\Lambda> 0, K=\pm 1$ or $\Lambda= 0, K=- 1$, while an oscillation spacetime is found for $\Lambda\geq 0, K=1$, or $\Lambda< 0, K=\pm 1$. We also propose a quantum tunneling scenario from an oscillating spacetime to an inflationary universe, resulting in a macroscopic cyclic universe.

Anisotropic quantum universe in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity

gr-qc · 2025-05-22 · conditional · novelty 6.0

In the small-universe limit of Horava-Lifshitz gravity, the Wheeler-DeWitt equation separates and the anisotropy wave functions become normalizable harmonic-oscillator states, predicting small initial anisotropies set by the coupling g_B.
