预热一个跳跃的宇宙

Preheating a bouncing universe

Yi-Fu Cai, Robert Brandenberger, Xinmin Zhang

摘要:

预热描述了宇宙学标量场的能量迅速地沉积到其它光场的激发态中的阶段。这个阶段的特点是指数粒子生产由于参数共振。我们在物质反弹宇宙学的框架下研究这一过程。我们的结果表明,在弹跳宇宙学中的预热过程甚至比在暴胀宇宙学中的预热过程更有效。在弱耦合条件下,预热时间延长一倍。对于正常耦合的情况,光场的反作用可以导致在弹跳点之前的热化。如果期望曲率场直接预热宇宙,则由于大的耦合系数,物质反弹曲率的情况可能受到严格限制。然而,通过几何预热的过程,这种担心可以大大放松。

英文摘要:

Preheating describes the stage of rapidly depositing the energy of cosmological scalar field into excitations of other light fields. This stage is characterized by exponential particle production due to the parametric resonance. We study this process in the frame of matter bounce cosmology. Our results show that the preheating process in bouncing cosmology is even more efficient than that in inflationary cosmology. In the limit of weak coupling, the period of preheating is doubled. For the case of normal coupling, the back-reaction of light fields can lead to thermalization before the bouncing point. The scenario of matter bounce curvaton could be tightly constrained due to a large coupling coefficient if the curvaton field is expected to preheat the universe directly. However, this concern can be greatly relaxed through the process of geometric preheating.
