暴胀模型选择满足暗辐射

Inflation Model Selection meets Dark Radiation

Thomas Tram, Robert Vallance, Vincent Vennin

摘要:

我们调查如何通货膨胀模型的选择是受影响的存在下,额外的自由流动的相对论自由度,即暗辐射。我们进行了全面的贝叶斯分析的通货膨胀参数和宇宙学参数考虑再加热自洽。我们计算贝叶斯证据的几个代表性的通货膨胀的情况下,在两个标准的$Λ$ CDM模型和扩展,包括暗辐射参数化的相对论性物种的有效数量$N_\mathrm{eff}$。使用最小的数据集(普朗克低- $\ell$极化,温度功率谱和透镜重建),我们发现,大多数暴胀模型的观测状态是不变的。例外的是潜在的,如幂律膨胀,预测大值的标量光谱指数,只能实现时,$N_\mathrm{eff}$被允许改变。加入重子声学振荡数据和BICEP 2/Keck的B模式数据使幂律暴胀不受欢迎,而加入哈勃常数$H_0$的局部测量使幂律暴胀比最好的单场平台势稍微有利。这说明了$H_0$张力的暗辐射解如何对暴胀模型的选择产生深刻的影响。

英文摘要:

We investigate how inflation model selection is affected by the presence of additional free-streaming relativistic degrees of freedom, i.e. dark radiation. We perform a full Bayesian analysis of both inflation parameters and cosmological parameters taking reheating into account self-consistently. We compute the Bayesian evidence for a few representative inflation scenarios in both the standard $Λ$CDM model and an extension including dark radiation parametrised by its effective number of relativistic species $N_\mathrm{eff}$. Using a minimal dataset (Planck low-$\ell$ polarisation, temperature power spectrum and lensing reconstruction), we find that the observational status of most inflationary models is unchanged. The exceptions are potentials such as power-law inflation that predict large values for the scalar spectral index that can only be realised when $N_\mathrm{eff}$ is allowed to vary. Adding baryon acoustic oscillations data and the B-mode data from BICEP2/Keck makes power-law inflation disfavoured, while adding local measurements of the Hubble constant $H_0$ makes power-law inflation slightly favoured compared to the best single-field plateau potentials. This illustrates how the dark radiation solution to the $H_0$ tension would have deep consequences for inflation model selection.
