单场暴胀的共形相容关系

Conformal consistency relations for single-field inflation

Paolo Creminelli, Jorge Noreña, Marko Simonović

摘要:

我们推广了单场一致性关系,不仅捕捉到了压缩极限中的首项--1/q^3,其中q是小波矢--而且捕捉到了次首项,1/q^2。对于(n+1)点函数,这一项在特殊的保角变换下是固定不变的;这与1/q^3项与n点函数的标度依赖性有关的事实是一致的。对于三点函数的压缩极限,这个共形一致性关系意味着不存在1/q^2的项。我们验证了4点函数的压缩极限与3点函数的共形变分有关,无论是在正则慢卷膨胀的情况下,还是在具有降低的声速的模型中。在第二种情况下的共形一致性条件捕获,在可观的水平,在拉格朗日的洛伦兹不变性的非线性实现引起的运营商之间的关系。这些结果意味着,在任何单场模型中,原始的关联函数被赋予SO(4,1)对称性,与膨胀和特殊的保角变换非线性实现的?我们还验证了共形一致性关系的任何n点函数的模型与调制的暴胀子潜力,其中的规模依赖是不可忽略的。最后,我们推广了张量和软内动量的相容关系。

英文摘要:

We generalize the single-field consistency relations to capture not only the leading term in the squeezed limit---going as 1/q^3, where q is the small wavevector---but also the subleading one, going as 1/q^2. This term, for an (n+1)-point function, is fixed in terms of the variation of the n-point function under a special conformal transformation; this parallels the fact that the 1/q^3 term is related with the scale dependence of the n-point function. For the squeezed limit of the 3-point function, this conformal consistency relation implies that there are no terms going as 1/q^2. We verify that the squeezed limit of the 4-point function is related to the conformal variation of the 3-point function both in the case of canonical slow-roll inflation and in models with reduced speed of sound. In the second case the conformal consistency conditions capture, at the level of observables, the relation among operators induced by the non-linear realization of Lorentz invariance in the Lagrangian. These results mean that, in any single-field model, primordial correlation functions of ζare endowed with an SO(4,1) symmetry, with dilations and special conformal transformations non-linearly realized by ζ. We also verify the conformal consistency relations for any n-point function in models with a modulation of the inflaton potential, where the scale dependence is not negligible. Finally, we generalize (some of) the consistency relations involving tensors and soft internal momenta.
