Baby universes and energy (non)conservation in (1+1)-dimensional dilaton gravity

Abstract: We consider branching of baby universes off parent one in (1+1)-dimensional dilaton gravity with 24 types of conformal matter fields. This theory is equivalent to string theory in a certain background in D = 26-dimensional target space, so this process may be also viewed as the emission of a light string state by a heavy string. We find that bare energy is not conserved in (1+1) dimensions due to the emission of baby universes, and that the probability of this process is finite even for local distribution of m… Show more

“…(i) One may recall that in (1+1) dimensions, energy non-conservation is in fact consistent with locality, causality and the long-range character of forces analogous to gravity [13,14]. Even though the reasons for this property are peculiar to (1+1) dimensions, one may wonder whether a similar consistency may be possible in (3 + 1) dimensions.…”

“…Coming back to the present setup as a theory of quantum gravity, one may wonder whether obtaining the exact solution of this simple model may shed light on numerous profound puzzles present in quantum gravity. Indeed, there is a vast body of literature exploring black holes (see, e.g., [19,47]), traversable wormholes [48], baby universes [49] and other beasts in models which appear as rather minimal deformations of the setup studied here.…”
