局域规范不变性对暴胀真空的强限制III:引力子环的红外正则性

Strong restriction on inflationary vacua from the local gauge invariance III: Infrared regularity of graviton loops

Takahiro Tanaka, Yuko Urakawa

摘要:

有人声称,在暴胀过程中产生的引力子的超级哈勃模式可以使环校正发散。即使我们引入了一个红外(IR)截止在一个共动尺度作为一个特设的,但一个实用的方式为正规化,我们遇到的长期增长,这可能会导致足够长的持续通货膨胀的微扰膨胀的崩溃。在本文中,我们表明,红外病理引力子可以归因于剩余的规范自由度的存在下,在局部可观测宇宙的绝热曲率微扰的情况下。我们将证明,选择欧几里德真空作为初始状态,确保在上述剩余规范变换下的不变性。我们还将证明,只要我们考虑在局域宇宙中的规范不变量,我们既不会遇到IR发散,也不会遇到长期增长。本文的论点适用于一般的单场模型的通货膨胀到足够高的订单在微扰。

英文摘要:

It has been claimed that the super Hubble modes of the graviton generated during inflation can make loop corrections diverge. Even if we introduce an infrared (IR) cutoff at a comoving scale as an ad hoc but a practical way for the regularization, we encounter the secular growth, which may lead to the breakdown of perturbative expansion for a sufficiently long lasting inflation. In this paper, we show that the IR pathology concerning the graviton can be attributed to the presence of residual gauge degrees of freedom in the local observable universe as in the case of the adiabatic curvature perturbation. We will show that choosing the Euclidean vacuum as the initial state ensures the invariance under the above-mentioned residual gauge transformations. We will also show that as long as we consider a gauge invariant quantity in the local universe, we encounter neither the IR divergence nor the secular growth. The argument in this paper applies to general single field models of inflation up to a sufficiently high order in perturbation.
