Abstract Birth of the brane world is studied using the Hamiltonian approach. It is shown that an inflating brane world can be created from nothing. The wave function of the universe obtained from the Wheeler de-Witt equation and the time-dependent Schrodinger equation for quantized scalar fields on the brane are the same as in the conventional 4-dimensional ¨ quantum cosmology if the bulk is exactly the Anti-de Sitter spacetime. The effect of the massive objects in the bulk is also discussed. This analysis tells us the presence of the extra dimension imprints a nontrivial effect on the quantum cosmology of the brane world. This fact is important for the analysis of the quantum fluctuations in the inflationary scenario of the brane world. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
1. Introduction Much attention has been paid to the possibility we are living inside a 3-brane in higher dimensional spacetime w1,2x. The idea of a brane world was renewed by the Horava-Witten theory which relates the strongly coupled E8 = E8 string heterotic theory to the eleven dimensional M-theory compactified on an S1rZ2 orbifold with a set of E8 gauge field at each 10-dimensional fixed plane w3x. In this theory, the pure supergravity lives in the bulk which appears 5-dimensional Anti de-Sitter ŽAdS. spacetime, while the standard model particles are confined to the 3-brane w4x. Phenomenologically, this picture opens up a route towards resolving the mass hierarchy between fundamental scales of particle physics and gravity w5,6x. Recently, a simple model based on this picture was constructed by Randall and Sundrum w7x. In their setting, a 4-dimensional domain wall sits at a 5-dimensional AdS spacetime. It has been shown the Einstein gravity is recovered on the wall with positive tension in the low energy limits w8x. This model gives a new setting for the early universe cosmology, which has been traditionally studied in the framework of the 4-dimensional action. The cosmological evolution of the brane world has been investigated by many authors w9x. It has been shown the Friedman equation is recovered in the low energy limits. In the early universe, the inflationary solution plays an important role. The solution for the inflating brane world has been obtained w10x.

In the traditional 4-dimensional theory, the application of laws of quantum mechanics to the universe shed light on issues such as the initial conditions of the universe. The possibility arises that the inflating universe can be created from nothing by quantum tunneling w11x. Furthermore, the Wheeler de-Witt ŽWDW. equation which describes the evolution of the wave function of the universe leads to the time-dependent Schrodinger equation ¨ for quantized matter in the de Sitter spacetime w12x. This gives the explanation of the origin of the structure of the universe w13x. Then it seems natural to ask how to implement the quantum cosmological idea in the context of the brane world w14x. Can the inflating brane world be created from nothing? What is the wave function of the universe? How to derive the Schrodinger equation for the quantized matter on the brane? ¨ In this letter, we derive the effective action for the brane world from the 5-dimensional action and reply these questions. From the 5-dimensional viewpoint, the creation of the brane is the quantum tunneling of the domain wall. The most promising way to deal with this process is the Hamiltonian approach w15,16x. We derive the Hamiltonian form of the effective action for the brane world and derive the WDW equation. We also discuss the effect of the massive objects in the bulk. This analysis gives the insight to the effect of the deviation of the bulk from the AdS spacetime on the quantum cosmology of the brane world, which is important for the analysis of the quantum fluctuations in the inflationary scenario of the brane world.
2. The effective action In this section we derive the effective action for the brane world. Our starting point is the 5-dimensional action for the bulk gravity plus 4-dimensional domain wall; S s SG q SW s

Let us denote the trajectory of the wall in this spacetime as r 0 s r 0 Ž t .. Here r 0 is the coordinate radius of the wall which describes the the degree of the freedom of the wall. Then the action for the wall becomes

For a while, we will work in units 4Gr3p s 1. Let the radial coordinate takes the range r 1 F r F r 2 . The spacetime is divided into two regions by the domain wall; V1 :
r1 F r F r 0 ,
V2 :
r0 F r F r2 ,
Ž 7.
We impose the Z2 symmetry across the wall, then r 2 s 2 r 0 y r 1. The spacetime is obtained by deleting the spacetime region from the wall to the boundary and gluing two copies of the remaining spacetime along the 4-sphere at r s r 0 . We assume RŽ r . to be continuous and p R and p L to be free from d functions at the wall. The integration of the constraints implies the following junction conditions at the wall; ^p L s y

where t is the propertime of the wall. The radius at the wall R 0 can be identified with the scale factor of the 3-brane world. We shall reduce the action to have only the degree of the freedom of the brane, that is, R 0 . For this purpose, we shall solve the constraints in the bulk. Using the slicing and gauge fixing conditions Ž9., we can solve the momentum constraints and Hamiltonian constraints; Ht s 0 and Hr s 0. We obtain 2

M is another constant of integration which is related to the mass of the 5-dimensional AdS-Schwartzschild black hole.

Then, the effective action Ž28. reduces to the simple form which leads to the conventional Wheeler de Witt ŽWDW. equation. Then we show the creation of the inflating brane world from nothing is possible and derive the wave function of the brane world. 3.1.

Here we restore the 5-dimensional Newton constant G. This is the Hamiltonian form of the effective action for the brane world.

Here Rg is the Ricci scalar made out of g i j . Hence G4 can be identified with the Newton constant in the brane world. In the l 1 limits, the brane world becomes Minkowski spacetime. In this case, G4 can be written as G4 s GŽ Lr6.1r2 w6x.

where the choice of the factor ordering is made, which is not important at the semiclassical level. Consider the boundary conditions of this Eq. Ž42.. In the classical forbidden region, the tunneling from R 0 s 0 to R 0 s Hy1 is possible. From the 5-dimensional point of view, this is a tunneling of the domain wall. The boundary condition that selects the wave function representing the tunneling requires that C Ž R 0 . should be only an outgoing wave at R 0 `. In the classical forbidden region the wave function is given by the linear combination of the growing and the decaying solutions. The wave function corresponds to this boundary condition is given by

From the four dimensional point of view, a tunneling from R 0 s 0 to R 0 s Hy1 represents the creation of the brane world from nothing. If we identify G4 as the Newton constant in our brane world, this tunneling probability agrees with the one traditionally obtained in the 4-dimensional quantum cosmology w14x. The wave function of the brane world coincides with the Vilenkin’s tunneling wave function. We shall include the effect of the matter confined to the wall. It is usefull to consider a scalar field as the matter confined to the wall. For simplicity, we shall consider a scalar field '2 pf with potential 2p 2 UŽ f .. We

We can verify this agrees with the result obtained in the previous section for the limit M 0. For M / 0, the inflating brane world is created by the tunneling from the closed FRW universe driven by the massive objects in the bulk. For a small radius of the brane world R 0 - Ž8GMr3p H 2 .1r4 , the wave function is different from the one obtained in 4-dimensional quantum cosmology. This implies the presence of the extra dimension gives the nontrivial effect on the quantum cosmology of the 4-dimensional universe if the bulk deviates from the AdS spacetime. Technically, this comes from the fact the r dependence in RŽ r,t . cannot be separable. For large R 0 , the effect of the massive objects in the bulk on the evolution of the brane world becomes negligible, then the wave function of the universe becomes the familiar one obtained in the previous section for M s 0.
5. Summary and discussion In this letter, we derived the effective action for the brane world from the 5-dimensional action for the bulk gravity plus 4-dimensional domain wall. Based on this action, we derived the WDW equation for the brane world. If the bulk is AdS spacetime, the brane world can be created from nothing. The WDW equation and the time-dependent Schrodinger equation for the quantized matter on the inflating brane are the same as those in the ¨ conventional 4-dimensional quantum cosmology. It is easy to extend our analysis to the many brane case. In that case, the ‘‘time’’ is defined in each brane world as is suggested by the derivation of the Schrodinger equation. ¨ We discussed the effect of the spherically symmetric massive objects in the bulk. For a small radius of the brane world, the bulk deviates from the AdS spacetime largely. In this case we found the presence of the extra

dimension affects the quantum cosmology of the brane world, then the wave function is different from the one obtained in 4-dimensional quantum cosmology. The most important success of the inflationary scenario is that this gives the origin of the structure of the universe. The analysis of the evolution of the quantum fluctuations is needed to explore this issue in the context of the brane world. We must include the effect of the back reaction to the geometry of the bulk in the Schrodinger equation for the quantized matter on the wall. It has been shown the deviation of the bulk spacetime ¨ from the exact AdS spacetime is essential to describe the inhomogeneous brane world w8x. The analysis for the bulk with black holes tells us if the bulk deviates from the AdS spacetime, the presence of the extra dimension imprints a non-trivial effects on the quantum cosmology of the brane world. A detailed investigation of the evolution of the quantum fluctuations will be left for the future work w17x.
