固体膨胀的各向异性

Anisotropy in solid inflation

Nicola Bartolo, Sabino Matarrese, Marco Peloso, Angelo Ricciardone

摘要:

在固体/弹性暴胀模型中,暴胀是由具有固体场论描述的源驱动的。为了允许长时间的缓慢滚动膨胀,固体需要对空间膨胀非常不敏感。我们指出,由于这个属性,固体也是相当低效的消除各向异性变形的几何形状。这就允许一个延长的膨胀各向异性的解决方案,提供了第一个例子与标准的重力和标量场,只有它回避了所谓的宇宙无毛猜想的条件。我们计算了各向异性解的曲率扰动,以及相应的各向异性的唯象界。最后,我们讨论了这个模型和f(phi)F^2模型之间的类比,由于暴胀子phi和向量场之间的适当耦合,它也允许各向异性暴胀。我们注意到,固体暴胀中曲率扰动的双谱在压缩极限中得到增强,并呈现出非平凡的角度依赖性,正如先前在f(phi)F^2模型中所发现的那样。

英文摘要:

In the model of solid / elastic inflation, inflation is driven by a source that has the field theoretical description of a solid. To allow for prolonged slow roll inflation, the solid needs to be extremely insensitive to the spatial expansion. We point out that, because of this property, the solid is also rather inefficient in erasing anisotropic deformations of the geometry. This allows for a prolonged inflationary anisotropic solution, providing the first example with standard gravity and scalar fields only which evades the conditions of the so called cosmic no-hair conjecture. We compute the curvature perturbations on the anisotropic solution, and the corresponding phenomenological bound on the anisotropy. Finally, we discuss the analogy between this model and the f (phi) F^2 model, which also allows for anisotropic inflation thanks to a suitable coupling between the inflaton phi and a vector field. We remark that the bispectrum of the curvature perturbations in solid inflation is enhanced in the squeezed limit and presents a nontrivial angular dependence, as had previously been found for the f (phi) F^2 model.
