- Abstract summary: In a recent work, Boyle, Finn and Turok hypothesized a model of universe that does not violate the CPT-symmetry as alternative for inflation.
Here we examine the validity of this proposal by adopting the point of view of archaic cosmology.
In this scenario, the big bang is caused by the instability of the original (pre)vacuum with respect to the nucleation of micro-events.

- Abstract: In a recent work, Boyle, Finn and Turok hypothesized a model of universe that
does not violate the CPT-symmetry as alternative for inflation. With this
approach they described the birth of the Universe from a pair of universes, one
the CPT image of the other, living in pre- and post-big bang epochs. The
CPT-invariance strictly constrains the vacuum states of the quantized fields,
with notable consequences on the cosmological scenarios. Here we examine the
validity of this proposal by adopting the point of view of archaic cosmology,
based on de Sitter projective relativity, with an event-based reading of
quantum mechanics, which is a consequence of the relationship between the
universal information reservoir of the archaic universe and its
out-of-equilibrium state through quantum jumps. In this scenario, the big bang
is caused by the instability of the original (pre)vacuum with respect to the
nucleation of micro-events that represent the actual creation of particles.
Finally, we compare our results with those by Turok et al., including the
analytic continuation across the big bang investigated by Volovik and show that
many aspects of these cosmological scenarios find a clear physical
interpretation by using our approach. Moreover, in the archaic universe
framework we do not have to assume a priori the CPT-invariance like in the
other models of universe, it is instead a necessary consequence of the archaic
vacuum structure and the nucleation process, divided into two specular
universes.

pair: An analysis using Bunch-Davies vacuum [0.0]
We study the signatures of quantum entanglement by computing entanglement negativity between two causally unrelated regions in $3+1$ dimensional global de Sitter space.
For the computational purpose we use the simplest possible initial choice of quantum vacuum, which is Bunch-Davies state.
We find that in the large scales initially maximally entangled Bunch-Davies state turns out to be strongly entangled or weakly entangled depending on the axionic decay constant and the supersymmetry breaking scale.

A formulation of the Euclidean quantum theory of gravity is also proposed to determine the initial state.
Being unrelated to ordinary matter, the distribution of its own mass affects the geometry of space.
