非正则暴胀的初始条件

Initial Conditions for Non-Canonical Inflation

Paul Franche, Rhiannon Gwyn, Bret Underwood, Alisha Wissanji

摘要:

我们研究了暴胀单场模型的齐次相空间动力学。暴胀轨迹在形式上是相空间中的吸引子,但实际上并非所有的初始条件都会导致暴胀,因此成功的暴胀需要一定程度的微调。我们探讨了如何动态的非正则通货膨胀,其中有额外的动力学条款的权力的动能,可以发挥作用,改善初始条件微调问题。基于标量场的动力学行为,我们对暴胀相空间进行了定性分析。这使我们能够构建轨迹流,发现对于非正则动力学项,与正则动力学项相比,轨迹一般以更陡的角度向暴胀解衰减,因此初始条件空间的更大部分导致暴胀。因此,非正则动力学项对于某些小场暴胀模型的初值微调问题是很重要的。

英文摘要:

We investigate the dynamics of homogeneous phase space for single-field models of inflation. Inflationary trajectories are formally attractors in phase space, but since in practice not all initial conditions lead to them, some degree of fine tuning is required for successful inflation. We explore how the dynamics of non-canonical inflation, which has additional kinetic terms that are powers of the kinetic energy, can play a role in ameliorating the initial conditions fine tuning problem. We present a qualitative analysis of inflationary phase space based on the dynamical behavior of the scalar field. This allows us to construct the flow of trajectories, finding that trajectories generically decay towards the inflationary solution at a steeper angle for non-canonical kinetic terms, in comparison to canonical kinetic terms, so that a larger fraction of the initial-conditions space leads to inflation. Thus, non-canonical kinetic terms can be important for removing the initial conditions fine-tuning problem of some small-field inflation models.
