Early Universe Thermodynamics and Evolution in Nonviscous and Viscous Strong and Electroweak Epochs: Possible Analytical Solutions

摘要

In the early Universe, both QCD and EW eras play an essential role in laying seeds for nucleosynthesis and even dictating the cosmological large-scale structure. Taking advantage of recent developments in ultrarelativistic nuclear experiments and nonperturbative and perturbative lattice simulations, various thermodynamic quantities including pressure, energy density, bulk viscosity, relaxation time, and temperature have been calculated up to the TeV-scale, in which the possible influence of finite bulk viscosity is characterized for the first time and the analytical dependence of Hubble parameter on the scale factor is also introduced.
