修正的自然暴胀:具有大张量标量比的小单场模型

Modified natural inflation: A small single field model with a large tensor to scalar ratio

Debaprasad Maity, Pankaj Saha

摘要:

本文根据最近的宇宙学实验BICEP 2,详细探讨了一个修正的单场自然暴胀唯象模型。我们的主要目标是构造一个暴胀模型,该模型不仅能预言$(n_s, r)$等重要的宇宙学量,而且与实验观测相一致,而且与低能有效理论框架相一致。因此,除了$M_p$和我们感兴趣的量之外,所有的基本尺度都应该在次普朗克区域内。为了实现我们的目标,我们修改了通常的单场自然暴胀模型的一个特定形式的高阶导数动力学项称为动力学重力编织(KGB)。我们构建这样一个模型的指导原则之一是轴子的恒定移位对称性。我们选择了克格勃项的形式,使得它能预测所需的$n_s\simeq 0.96$值和一个大的张量标量比$r> 0.1$。重要的是,对于广泛的参数空间,我们的模型具有亚普朗克轴子衰变常数$f$和膨胀尺度$Λ$。然而,充气结束后的再加热限制了$f$的值,因此我们无法使$f$显著低于$M_p$。此外,对于足够数量的e-折叠${\cal N} \gtrsim 50 $,我们发现轴子场$Δϕ\simeq f$的亚普朗克场漂移。我们还详细讨论了自然预热机制在我们的模型的基础上最近提出的陈-西蒙耦合。我们发现这种重力介导的预热在我们的模型中很难实现。通过我们的一般分析论证,我们还想强调,陈-西蒙斯介导的预热在任何慢卷暴胀模型中都不太可能发生。

英文摘要:

In this paper we explored in detail a phenomenological model of modified single field natural inflation in light of recent cosmological experiments, BICEP2. Our main goal is to construct an inflationary model which not only predicts the important cosmological quantities such as $(n_s, r)$ compatible with experimental observation, but also is consistent with the low energy effective theory framework. Therefore, all the fundamental scale apart from $M_p$ and quantities of our interest should be within the sub-Planckian region. In order to achieve our goal we modify the usual single field natural inflationary model by a specific form of higher derivative kinetic term called kinetic gravity braiding (KGB). One of our guiding principles to construct such a model is the constant shift symmetry of the axion. We have chosen the form of the KGB term in such a way that it predicts the required value of $n_s\simeq 0.96$ and a large tensor to scalar ratio $r> 0.1$. Importantly for a wide range of parameter space our model has sub-Planckian axion decay constant $f$ and the scale of inflation $Λ$. However, the reheating after the end of inflation limits the value of $f$ so that we are unable to get $f$ to be significantly lower than $M_p$. Furthermore, we find sub-Planckian field excursion for the axion field $Δϕ\simeq f$ for the sufficient number of e-folding ${\cal N} \gtrsim 50 $. We also discussed in detail about the natural preheating mechanism in our model based on the recently proposed Chern-Simon coupling. We found this gravity mediated preheating is very difficult to achieve in our model. With our general analytic argument, we also would like to emphasize that Chern-Simons mediated preheating is very unlikely to happen in any slow roll inflationary model.
