The Time Evolution of Mutual Information between Disjoint Regions in the Universe
1Department of Physics, Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan 731235, India.
Abstract:
We study the time evolution of mutual information between mass distributions in spatially separated but casually connected regions in an expanding universe. The evolution of mutual information is primarily determined by the configuration entropy rate, which depends on the dynamics of the expansion and growth of density perturbations. The joint entropy between distributions from the two regions plays a negligible role in such evolution. Mutual information decreases with time in a matter-dominated universe, whereas it stays constant in a Λ-dominated universe. The ΛCDM model and some other models of dark energy predict a minimum in mutual information beyond which dark energy dominates the dynamics of the universe. Mutual information may have deeper connections to the dark energy and accelerated expansion of the universe.
