小声速下单场膨胀中修正真空的双谱特征

Bispectrum signatures of a modified vacuum in single field inflation with a small speed of sound

摘要:

在暴胀期间偏离邦奇-戴维斯真空,可以在宇宙微波背景辐射和宇宙大尺度结构的高阶相关性上留下可检验的印记。如果统计非高斯性固有地很大,例如在具有小声速的暴胀模型中,例如DBI,则效果特别明显。首先回顾修改真空的动机,我们计算了具有小声速的一般作用的非高斯性。它的双谱的形状被发现最类似于“正交”或“本地”模板的Bogolyubov参数的相位。特别是,DBI模型的通货膨胀的双谱可以有一个深刻的“本地”模板功能,在以前的结果相反。确定到观测模板的投影使我们能够推导出对Bogolyubov参数的绝对值的约束。在小声速极限下,导出的约束一般比从功率谱导出的现有约束更强。当H/Λ_c = 10^-3时,波哥柳博夫参数的绝对值的界限在10^-6到10 ^-3之间,这取决于模型的具体细节、声速和波哥柳博夫参数的相位。

英文摘要:

Deviations from the Bunch-Davies vacuum during an inflationary period can leave a testable imprint on the higher-order correlations of the CMB and large scale structures in the Universe. The effect is particularly pronounced if the statistical non-Gaussianity is inherently large, such as in models of inflation with a small speed of sound, e.g. DBI. First reviewing the motivations for a modified vacuum, we calculate the non-Gaussianity for a general action with a small speed of sound. The shape of its bispectrum is found to most resemble the 'orthogonal' or 'local' templates depending on the phase of the Bogolyubov parameter. In particular, for DBI models of inflation the bispectrum can have a profound 'local' template feature, in contrast to previous results. Determining the projection into the observational templates allows us to derive constraints on the absolute value of the Bogolyubov parameter. In the small sound speed limit, the derived constraints are generally stronger than the existing constraint derived from the power spectrum. The bound on the absolute value of the Bogolyubov parameter ranges from the 10^-6 to the 10^-3 level for H/Λ_c = 10^-3, depending on the specific details of the model, the sound speed and the phase of the Bogolyubov parameter.
