Phys. Rev. D 74, 043511 (2006) [5 pages]Investigation of the selection of original universe proposal
Received 22 November 2005; published 14 August 2006
We investigate the Selection of Original Universe Proposal (SOUP) of Tye et al and show that as it stands, this proposal is flawed. The corrections to the Euclidean gravity action that were to select a Universe with a sufficiently large value of the cosmological constant Lambda to allow for an inflationary phase only serve to renormalize the cosmological constant so that Lambda-->Lambdaeff. SOUP then predicts a wave function that is highly peaked around Lambdaeff-->0, thereby reintroducing the issue of how to select initial conditions allowing for inflation in the early Universe. ©2006 The American Physical Society REFERENCES (26)
