三形式暴胀与非高斯性

Three-form inflation and non-Gaussianity

David J. Mulryne, Johannes Noller, Nelson J. Nunes

摘要:

我们计算的扰动作用,在第二和第三阶,一个巨大的三形式的字段最低限度地耦合到重力,并用它来探索三形式的通货膨胀的观测预测。一个有趣的结果是谱指数的值几乎与三形式势无关,仅由暴胀的e倍数确定,当正则数为60时,n_s=0.97。考虑到双谱,我们采用标准的技术,两个模型,其中一个产生一个大的非高斯性给出明确的结果。最后,我们确认我们的结果,通过采用一个对偶关系的三种形式的理论,一个非正则标量场理论和明确地重新计算结果在这个双重图片。

英文摘要:

We calculate the perturbed action, at second and third order, for a massive three-form field minimally coupled to gravity, and use it to explore the observational predictions of three-form inflation. One intriguing result is that the value of the spectral index is nearly independent of the three-form potential, being fixed solely by the number of e-folds of inflation, with n_s=0.97 for the canonical number of 60. Considering the bispectrum, we employ standard techniques to give explicit results for two models, one of which produces a large non-Gaussianity. Finally, we confirm our results by employing a duality relating the three-form theory to a non-canonical scalar field theory and explicitly re-computing results in this dual picture.
