热膨胀和非高斯性中的密度涨落

Density Fluctuations in Thermal Inflation and Non-Gaussianity

Masahiro Kawasaki, Tomo Takahashi, Shuichiro Yokoyama

摘要:

我们考虑了热膨胀情形下的原初涨落。由于热膨胀在标准膨胀之后驱动大约10个$e$ -倍,因此在膨胀期间对应于当前观测尺度的视界退出时间向膨胀结束移动。它通常使原始功率谱更加偏离标度不变的功率谱,从而使一些模型与观测不一致。我们提出了一种利用平子场与热浴中场的涨落耦合在热膨胀结束时产生原始曲率扰动的机制。我们表明,通过采用该机制,一些通货膨胀模型可以解放,即使在存在的热膨胀。我们还讨论了机制中的非高斯性,并表明在这种情况下可以产生大的非高斯性。

英文摘要:

We consider primordial fluctuations in thermal inflation scenario. Since the thermal inflation drives about 10 $e$-folds after the standard inflation, the time of horizon-exit during inflation corresponding to the present observational scale shifts toward the end of inflation. It generally makes the primordial power spectrum more deviated from a scale-invariant one and hence renders some models inconsistent with observations. We present a mechanism of generating the primordial curvature perturbation at the end of thermal inflation utilizing a fluctuating coupling of a flaton field with the fields in thermal bath. We show that, by adopting the mechanism, some inflation models can be liberated even in the presence of the thermal inflation. We also discuss non-Gaussianity in the mechanism and show that large non-Gaussianity can be generated in this scenario.
