Revealing a Possible Implication by Imposing Lee-Yang Theorem on the Partition Function of the Universe
Year: 2015
Type: preprint
Abstract: The goals of this note are twofold: First, to revisit a mechanism proposed by Ho\v{r}ava and Minic\cite{Horava:2000fk} which generates a zero cosmological constant to the Universe based on Boltzmann probability distribution and the Holographic principle, a comparison between the zero cosmological constant and recent observation results is given. Secondly, in order to investigate the possibility of phase-transition phenomena of the Universe, a further study on an exponential class of the partition function of the Universe, which is given by Shaw and Barrow \cite{Shaw:2011ij,Barrow:2011bs} was provided by investigating the distribution of Lee-Yang zeros are given. The contribution of this paper is that after applying the fundamental theorem of algebra to one action chosen from the exponential class that derived from the Shaw and Barrow's works, the Lee-Yang theorem can be applied to the selected action, meaning that critical phenomena might involve the growth of large-scale structure of the Universe, and the phase transition phenomena of the Universe might exist during the spacetime expands.
