非局部暴胀对非高斯性的预测

Predictions for Nongaussianity from Nonlocal Inflation

Neil Barnaby, James M. Cline

摘要:

在我们以前的工作中,我们对一类基于非局域场论的暴胀模型估计了表征宇宙微波背景非高斯性的非线性参数f_NL。这些模型包括p-adic通货膨胀,并且通常具有显著的性质,即即使在非常陡峭的势下,缓慢的通货膨胀也可以进行。以前的计算发现,大nongaussianity是可能的,然而,与研究理论中的扰动无穷多个衍生物的技术复杂性迫使我们只提供一个数量级的估计f_NL。我们重新考虑了非定域暴胀模型中f_NL的计算问题,指出场基的特殊选择和宇宙学扰动理论的最新进展使精确计算成为可能.我们提供了第一个定量精确计算的双谱在非局部通货膨胀,证实了我们以前的说法,它可以是可观的大。我们表明,在这类模型的双谱的形状,使它在观测上区分Dirac-Born-Infeld膨胀模型。

英文摘要:

In our previous work the nonlinearity parameter f_NL, which characterizes nongaussianity in the cosmic microwave background, was estimated for a class of inflationary models based on nonlocal field theory. These models include p-adic inflation and generically have the remarkable property that slow roll inflation can proceed even with an extremely steep potential. Previous calculations found that large nongaussianity is possible; however, the technical complications associated with studying perturbations in theories with infinitely many derivatives forced us to provide only an order of magnitude estimate for f_NL. We reconsider the problem of computing f_NL in nonlocal inflation models, showing that a particular choice of field basis and recent progress in cosmological perturbation theory makes an exact computation possible. We provide the first quantitatively accurate computation of the bispectrum in nonlocal inflation, confirming our previous claim that it can be observably large. We show that the shape of the bispectrum in this class of models makes it observationally distinguishable from Dirac-Born-Infeld inflation models.
