合并:一种新型的加速扩张

Conflation: a new type of accelerated expansion

Angelika Fertig, Jean-Luc Lehners, Enno Mallwitz

摘要:

在标量张量引力理论的框架下,我们构造了一种新的宇宙学模型,它将暴胀和爆炸合二为一。在合并阶段,宇宙经历加速膨胀,但与普通的通货膨胀相比有着至关重要的区别。特别是,势能是负的,这对超引力和弦论很有意义,因为负势能和所需的标量-张量耦合都是相当自然的。该模型的一个显着特点是,对于一个大的参数范围,它不会显着放大绝热标量和张量波动,特别是不会导致永恒的通货膨胀和相关的无穷大。我们还展示了如何密度波动符合目前的意见,可能会产生通过添加第二个标量场的模型。合并可以被看作是对最近Ijjas和Steinhardt提出的变形宇宙的补充。

英文摘要:

In the framework of scalar-tensor theories of gravity, we construct a new kind of cosmological model that conflates inflation and ekpyrosis. During a phase of conflation, the universe undergoes accelerated expansion, but with crucial differences compared to ordinary inflation. In particular, the potential energy is negative, which is of interest for supergravity and string theory where both negative potentials and the required scalar-tensor couplings are rather natural. A distinguishing feature of the model is that, for a large parameter range, it does not significantly amplify adiabatic scalar and tensor fluctuations, and in particular does not lead to eternal inflation and the associated infinities. We also show how density fluctuations in accord with current observations may be generated by adding a second scalar field to the model. Conflation may be viewed as complementary to the recently proposed anamorphic universe of Ijjas and Steinhardt.
