在慢卷暴胀中从规范场产生可观测的非高斯性,以及与磁发生的挑战性联系

Observable non-gaussianity from gauge field production in slow roll inflation, and a challenging connection with magnetogenesis

Neil Barnaby, Ryo Namba, Marco Peloso

摘要:

在任何现实的暴胀粒子物理模型中,暴胀子都可以被期望与其他场耦合。本文考虑U(1)规范场与标量暴胀子之间具有类玻色子耦合的模型。我们表明,这种耦合可以导致可观察到的非高斯性,即使在传统的制度,其中膨胀是由一个单一的标量缓慢滚动的光滑的潜力:依赖于时间的暴胀凝聚导致放大的大尺度规范场波动,这可以反馈到标量/张量宇宙学扰动。在压缩极限,所得到的双谱是接近本地的,但它显示了一个相当大的和特征的四极依赖于之间的角度较短的和较大的模式的相关性。可观测的非高斯性是在微扰理论的控制下获得的。如果将规范场等同于电磁场,那么我们所研究的模型就是由Ratra最初提出并被广泛研究的磁成因思想的实现。然而,鉴于文献中已经注意到的强耦合问题,这种识别(对于非高斯性产生不是必需的)是有问题的。

英文摘要:

In any realistic particle physics model of inflation, the inflaton can be expected to couple to other fields. We consider a model with a dilaton-like coupling between a U(1) gauge field and a scalar inflaton. We show that this coupling can result in observable non-gaussianity, even in the conventional regime where inflation is supported by a single scalar slowly rolling on a smooth potential: the time dependent inflaton condensate leads to amplification of the large-scale gauge field fluctuations, which can feed-back into the scalar/tensor cosmological perturbations. In the squeezed limit, the resulting bispectrum is close to the local one, but it shows a sizable and characteristic quadrupolar dependence on the angle between the shorter and the larger modes in the correlation. Observable non-gaussianity is obtained in a regime where perturbation theory is under control. If the gauge field is identified with the electromagnetic field, the model that we study is a realization of the magnetogenesis idea originally proposed by Ratra, and widely studied. This identification (which is not necessary for the non-gaussianity production) is however problematic in light of a strong coupling problem already noted in the literature.
