幂计数与暴胀过程中经典近似的有效性

Power-counting and the Validity of the Classical Approximation During Inflation

C. P. Burgess, Hyun Min Lee, Michael Trott

摘要:

我们使用有效场论的幂次计算形式来研究慢卷暴胀理论中的环路修正的大小,目的是更精确地确定通常的经典暴胀理论的有效性极限。我们保持我们的分析尽可能一般,以系统地确定最重要的经典暴胀动力学的修正。虽然大多数慢滚模型位于半经典域中,我们发现希格斯-因弗拉顿方案的一致性是更加微妙的,由于哈勃尺度之间的接近,在通货膨胀和上界允许的新物理尺度与半经典近似的故障有效的理论。类似的评论也适用于曲率平方暴胀模型。

英文摘要:

We use the power-counting formalism of effective field theory to study the size of loop corrections in theories of slow-roll inflation, with the aim of more precisely identifying the limits of validity of the usual classical inflationary treatments. We keep our analysis as general as possible in order to systematically identify the most important corrections to the classical inflaton dynamics. Although most slow-roll models lie within the semiclassical domain, we find the consistency of the Higgs-Inflaton scenario to be more delicate due to the proximity between the Hubble scale during inflation and the upper bound allowed by unitarity on the new-physics scale associated with the breakdown of the semiclassical approximation within the effective theory. Similar remarks apply to curvature-squared inflationary models.
