物质耦合共形暴胀

Conformal Inflation Coupled to Matter

P. Brax, A. C. Davis

摘要:

我们制定了新的共形模型的通货膨胀和暗能量,概括希格斯膨胀的情况。我们将这些模型嵌入到单模引力中,其效果是打破宇宙后期的尺度不变性。在早期宇宙中,暴胀发生在接近最大的标量势和标量耦合到里奇标量在约旦框架。在后期,在暴胀期间从动力学中分离出来的介子从单模引力中接收到一个势项,并导致宇宙的加速。在这种情况下,我们解决两个核心问题。首先,我们表明,Damour-Polyalov机制,当非相对论性的物质是目前开始之前的通货膨胀,设置的初始条件通货膨胀的最大标量潜力。然后,我们表明,共形不变性意味着物质粒子不耦合到宇宙晚期的经典水平的电子。当费米子在低能量下获得质量时,尺度不变性被打破,量子修正引起费米子和物质之间的耦合,这种耦合仍然小到足以逃避太阳系中的引力约束。

英文摘要:

We formulate new conformal models of inflation and dark energy which generalise the Higgs-Dilaton scenario. We embed these models in unimodular gravity whose effect is to break scale invariance in the late time Universe. In the early Universe, inflation occurs close to a maximum of both the scalar potential and the scalar coupling to the Ricci scalar in the Jordan frame. At late times, the dilaton, which decouples from the dynamics during inflation, receives a potential term from unimodular gravity and leads to the acceleration of the Universe. We address two central issues in this scenario. First we show that the Damour-Polyalov mechanism, when non-relativistic matter is present prior to the start of inflation, sets the initial conditions for inflation at the maximum of the scalar potential. We then show that conformal invariance implies that matter particles are not coupled to the dilaton in the late Universe at the classical level. When fermions acquire masses at low energy, scale invariance is broken and quantum corrections induce a coupling between the dilaton and matter which is still small enough to evade the gravitational constraints in the solar system.
