非均匀宇宙的膨胀

Inflating an Inhomogeneous Universe

Richard Easther, Layne C. Price, Javier Rasero

摘要:

虽然宇宙膨胀可以消除原始的不均匀性,但膨胀可能不会在一个显著不均匀的宇宙中开始。这个问题是特别紧迫的多场的情况下,即使是均匀的动力学可能依赖于敏感的初始配置。本文提出了一个初步调查的多场模型中的通货膨胀的发病,通过定性的基于格子的模拟,不包括当地的引力反作用。使用混合通货膨胀作为一个测试模型,我们的研究结果表明,小subhorizon不均匀性发挥了关键作用,在确定通货膨胀是否开始在多场的情况下。有趣的是,一些配置不膨胀的均匀极限“成功”后,包括不均匀性,而其他初始配置膨胀的均匀极限“失败”时,不均匀性添加。

英文摘要:

While cosmological inflation can erase primordial inhomogeneities, it is possible that inflation may not begin in a significantly inhomogeneous universe. This issue is particularly pressing in multifield scenarios, where even the homogeneous dynamics may depend sensitively on the initial configuration. This paper presents an initial survey of the onset of inflation in multifield models, via qualitative lattice-based simulations that do not include local gravitational backreaction. Using hybrid inflation as a test model, our results suggest that small subhorizon inhomogeneities do play a key role in determining whether inflation begins in multifield scenarios. Interestingly, some configurations which do not inflate in the homogeneous limit "succeed" after inhomogeneity is included, while other initial configurations which inflate in the homogeneous limit "fail" when inhomogeneity is added.
