多场共形宇宙吸引子

Multi-field Conformal Cosmological Attractors

Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde

摘要:

我们描述了一类具有自发破缺共形不变性的多场暴胀模型。它推广了最近发现的一类宇宙吸引子与一个单一的暴胀子场。在新的多场论中,正如在以前研究的单场模型中一样,模空间有一个关于原始齐次共形变量的边界(Kahler锥)。当共形不变性自发破缺并转换到爱因斯坦坐标系时,这个边界就正则归一化暴胀子场而言移动到无穷远。这导致了在模空间边界附近标量势的指数拉伸和平坦化,这使得即使是非常陡峭的势也完全适合于慢卷暴胀。这些理论,就像它们的单场版本一样,通常会导致n_s =1-2/N和r = 12/N^2的暴胀微扰,其中N是e折叠的数量。

英文摘要:

We describe a broad class of multi-field inflationary models with spontaneously broken conformal invariance. It generalizes the recently discovered class of cosmological attractors with a single inflaton field. In the new multi-field theories, just as in the previously studied single-field models, the moduli space has a boundary (Kahler cone) in terms of the original homogeneous conformal variables. Upon spontaneous breaking of the conformal invariance and switching to the Einstein frame, this boundary moves to infinity in terms of the canonically normalized inflaton field. This results in the exponential stretching and flattening of scalar potentials in the vicinity of the boundary of the moduli space, which makes even very steep potentials perfectly suitable for the slow-roll inflation. These theories, just like their single-field versions, typically lead to inflationary perturbations with n_s =1-2/N and r = 12/N^2, where N is the number of e-foldings.
