在弦论中建立暴胀模型时避开eta问题

Circumventing the eta problem in building an inflationary model in string theory

Damien A. Easson, Ruth Gregory

摘要:

eta问题是在弦论中建立一个成功的暴胀模型的最重要的障碍之一。对暴胀子势的普朗克质量抑制修正通常会导致暴胀子质量达到哈勃尺度的量级,并对η慢滚参数产生单位量级的贡献,从而使长时间的慢滚暴胀成为不可能。我们证明了这个问题的严重性的背景下,膜反膜膨胀在一个扭曲的喉咙的卡-丘通量紧致化与所有现象学上危险的模量稳定。使用精确的数值解,我们表明,eta问题可以避免的情况下,暴胀子是非最小耦合到重力和狄拉克-玻恩-因菲尔德(DBI)的动力学项。我们表明,由此产生的宇宙微波背景(CMB)观测值,如措施的非高斯,原则上,可以作为一个探针的标量引力耦合。

英文摘要:

The eta problem is one of the most significant obstacles to building a successful inflationary model in string theory. Planck mass suppressed corrections to the inflaton potential generally lead to inflaton masses of order the Hubble scale and generate contributions of order unity to the eta slow roll parameter rendering prolonged slow roll inflation impossible. We demonstrate the severity of this problem in the context of brane anti-brane inflation in a warped throat of a Calabi-Yau flux compactification with all phenomenologically dangerous moduli stabilized. Using exact numerical solutions we show that the eta problem can be avoided in scenarios where the inflaton is non-minimally coupled to gravity and has Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) kinetic term. We show that the resulting cosmic microwave background (CMB) observables such as measures of non-gaussianites can, in principle, serve as a probe of scalar-gravity couplings.
