原始功率谱特征和结果

Primordial power spectrum features and consequences

Gaurav Goswami

摘要:

目前的宇宙微波背景(CMB)温度和偏振各向异性数据不仅与一个小幅度的幂律标量本征功率谱(PPS)相一致,而且与一个具有非常尖锐特征的标量PPS相一致。这激发了具有如此鲜明特征的暴胀模型。最近,甚至在功率谱(在某些尺度上)中具有零点的可能性也被考虑。线性微扰理论已经证明了这些零点的存在。高阶修正对这种零点有什么影响?受这个问题的启发,我们试图计算量子辐射修正的傅里叶变换的两点函数在一个玩具场论和解决的问题,这些修正的功率谱的行为模型中,树级功率谱有一个急剧下降(但不是零)。特别是,我们考虑的可能性的相对增强的辐射校正的模型中,树级光谱经历了一个下降的功率在一定的规模。选择场的模函数(其功率谱要被评估),使得它们经历导致树级功率谱中的急剧下降的那种动态。接下来,我们考虑的情况下,这个领域有四次自我相互作用,并找到一个适当选择的重整化方案中的一个回路校正。因此,我们试图回答以下关键问题的背景下,这个玩具模型(这是重要的,在现实的情况下):在所选择的重整化方案,量子辐射校正可以得到增强相对于树级功率谱的急剧下降出现在树级谱的尺度?

英文摘要:

The present Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropy data is consistent with not only a power law scalar primordial power spectrum (PPS) with a small running but also with the scalar PPS having very sharp features. This has motivated inflationary models with such sharp features. Recently, even the possibility of having nulls in the power spectrum (at certain scales) has been considered. The existence of these nulls has been shown in linear perturbation theory. What shall be the effect of higher order corrections on such nulls? Inspired by this question, we attempt to calculate quantum radiative corrections to the Fourier transform of the two-point function in a toy field theory and address the issue of how these corrections to the power spectrum behave in models in which the tree-level power spectrum has a sharp dip (but not a null). In particular, we consider the possibility of the relative enhancement of radiative corrections in a model in which the tree-level spectrum goes through a dip in power at a certain scale. The mode functions of the field (whose power spectrum is to be evaluated) are chosen such that they undergo the kind of dynamics that leads to a sharp dip in the tree level power spectrum. Next we consider the situation in which this field has quartic self interactions and find one loop correction in a suitably chosen renormalization scheme. We thus attempt to answer the following key question in the context of this toy model (which is as important in the realistic case): in the chosen renormalization scheme, can quantum radiative corrections get enhanced relative to tree-level power spectrum at scales at which sharp dips appear in the tree-level spectrum?
