缓慢膨胀阶段的标度不变性

Scale Invariance via a Phase of Slow Expansion

Austin Joyce, Justin Khoury

摘要:

我们考虑一个宇宙学的情况下,在一个缓慢膨胀的背景下,一个快速发展的状态方程产生的曲率扰动的标度不变的频谱。这种情况推广了最近在arXiv:0910.2230中提出的“绝热ekpyrotic”机制。虽然最初的建议假设一个缓慢收缩的背景下,目前的工作表明,该机制同样适用于扩大的背景。这极大地扩展了这种机制可以嵌入的更广泛的宇宙学场景的领域。我们提出了一个相空间分析,并表明,扩大和收缩版本的情况下,动态吸引子,与扩大分支有一个更广泛的吸引盆地。在这两种情况下,有限范围内的尺度不变模式可以产生的制度的有效性微扰理论。

英文摘要:

We consider a cosmological scenario in which a scale-invariant spectrum of curvature perturbations is generated by a rapidly-evolving equation of state on a slowly expanding background. This scenario generalizes the "adiabatic ekpyrotic" mechanism proposed recently in arXiv:0910.2230. Whereas the original proposal assumed a slowly contracting background, the present work shows that the mechanism works equally well on an expanding background. This greatly expands the realm of broader cosmological scenarios in which this mechanism can be embedded. We present a phase space analysis and show that both the expanding and contracting versions of the scenario are dynamical attractors, with the expanding branch having a broader basin of attraction. In both cases, a finite range of scale invariant modes can be generated within the regime of validity of perturbation theory.
