Abstract:
We study the 4 theory and the interacting O(N) model in a curved background using the Gaussian approximation for the former and the large-N approximation for the latter. We obtain the renormalized version of the semiclassical Einstein equations having in mind a future application of these models to investigate the physics of the very early Universe. We show that, while the Gaussian approximation has two different phases, in the large-N limit only one is present. The different features of the two phases are analyzed at the level of the effective field equations. We discuss the initial-value problem and find the initial conditions that make the theory renormalizable. As an example, we study the de Sitter self-consistent solutions of the semiclassical Einstein equations. Finally, for an identically zero mean value of the field we find the evolution equations for the classical field 2 1/2 and the spacetime metric. They are very similar to the ones obtained by replacing the classical potential by the one-loop effective potential in the classical equations but do not have the drawbacks of the one-loop approximation. © 1989 The American Physical Society.
