摘要:

我们考虑了一个原始SU(2)矢量多重态在暴胀模型中的矢量场的量子涨落参与产生的曲率微扰。最近,由于在宇宙学扰动中产生某种程度的统计各向异性的有趣可能性,大量的注意力已经被投入到由矢量场填充的模型中。我们提出的方案是强烈的动机,事实上,对于非阿贝尔规范场,自相互作用是负责产生额外的条款,在宇宙学关联函数,这是自然缺席的阿贝尔情况。我们计算这些额外的贡献的曲率扰动的双谱,使用Δ N公式和Schwinger-Keldysh形式主义。转动不变性的原始破坏(由于SU(2)规范多重态的引入)在关联函数上留下了印记,正如预期的那样,在我们的结果中引入了一定程度的统计各向异性。我们计算了非高斯参数f_{NL},证明了来自规范玻色子自相互作用的新贡献是重要的,在某些情况下是主导的。我们研究的双谱的形状,我们发现,它原来的峰值在本地配置,与振幅,这是由打破统计各向同性的首选方向调制。

英文摘要:

We consider a primordial SU(2) vector multiplet during inflation in models where quantum fluctuations of vector fields are involved in producing the curvature perturbation. Recently, a lot of attention has been paid to models populated by vector fields, given the interesting possibility of generating some level of statistical anisotropy in the cosmological perturbations. The scenario we propose is strongly motivated by the fact that, for non-Abelian gauge fields, self-interactions are responsible for generating extra terms in the cosmological correlation functions, which are naturally absent in the Abelian case. We compute these extra contributions to the bispectrum of the curvature perturbation, using the delta N formula and the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism. The primordial violation of rotational invariance (due to the introduction of the SU(2) gauge multiplet) leaves its imprint on the correlation functions introducing, as expected, some degree of statistical anisotropy in our results. We calculate the non-Gaussianity parameter f_{NL}, proving that the new contributions derived from gauge bosons self-interactions can be important, and in some cases the dominat ones. We study the shape of the bispectrum and we find that it turns out to peak in the local configuration, with an amplitude that is modulated by the preferred directions that break statistical isotropy.
