重新考虑链式通货膨胀

Chain Inflation Reconsidered

James M. Cline, Guy D. Moore, Yi Wang

摘要:

我们调查的链膨胀的情况下,在那里的暴胀经历连续的隧道沿一个字段方向的过渡的密度扰动。首先,我们表明,当气泡壁与这样的相变满足,他们诱导下一个相变,并继续传播相界面。然后,我们提出了一个分析计算的密度波动和估计的非高斯性,如f_{NL},我们发现是小的(1阶)。为了得到功率谱的正确振幅,每个哈勃时间必须有10^8次相变,这是一个重大的模型构建挑战。我们发现,链暴胀的工作模型必须是相当强的耦合,从而具有一个非常有限的有效性范围作为有效场论。我们讨论了多场的情况下,曲率的情况下,和非正则动力学项的推广。

英文摘要:

We investigate density perturbations in the chain inflation scenario, where the inflaton undergoes successive tunneling transitions along one field direction. First we show that when the bubble walls associated with such a phase transition meet, they induce the next phase transition and continue to propagate as phase interfaces. Then we present an analytical calculation of the density fluctuations and an estimate of non-Gaussianities such as f_{NL}, which we find to be small (of order 1). To get the right amplitude for the power spectrum, there have to be 10^8 phase transitions per Hubble time, a significant model building challenge. We find that working models of chain inflation must be rather strongly coupled, and thus have a very limited range of validity as effective field theories. We discuss generalizations to the multiple field case, the curvaton scenario, and noncanonical kinetic terms.
