Ks. Nirov et Va. Rubakov, STRINGS AS A MODEL FOR PARENT AND BABY UNIVERSES - TOTAL SPLITTING RATES, Modern physics letters A, 10(39), 1995, pp. 3059-3068
Emission of hard microscopic string (graviton) by an excited macroscop
ic string may be viewed as a model of branching of a (1+1)-dimensional
baby universe off large parent one. We show that, apart from a trivia
l factor, the total emission rate is not suppressed by the size of the
macroscopic string. This implies unsuppressed loss of quantum coheren
ce in (1+1)-dimensional parent universe.
