多声速$P(ϕ^I,X^{IJ})$理论中的绝热/熵分解

The adiabatic/entropy decomposition in $P(ϕ^I,X^{IJ})$ theories with multiple sound speeds

Chris Longden

摘要:

我们认为$P(ϕ^I,X^{IJ})$理论的多场膨胀和问的问题,如何定义的绝热和熵扰动,广泛用于计算的曲率和等曲率功率谱,在这个一般的情况下。结果发现,当场扰动以不同的速度传播时,这些绝热和熵模式通常不是以单一速度传播的基本(最自然的正则量子化)自由度。以单一速度传播的替代场被发现是绝热和熵扰动场空间中的旋转。我们展示了这是如何影响的地平线交叉功率谱的形式,当没有一个单一的“绝热声速”来源的曲率扰动。我们的结果的特殊情况进行了讨论,包括$P(X)$理论的绝热和熵扰动是根本的。最后,我们看看物理动机考虑多速度模型的通货膨胀,特别是显示,非正式的耦合可以自然地导致那种动力学的相互作用,导致字段有不同的声速。

英文摘要:

We consider $P(ϕ^I,X^{IJ})$ theories of multi-field inflation and ask the question of how to define the adiabatic and entropy perturbations, widely used in calculating the curvature and isocurvature power spectra, in this general context. It is found that when the field perturbations propagate with different speeds, these adiabatic and entropy modes are not generally the fundamental (most natural to canonically quantise) degrees of freedom that propagate with a single speed. The alternative fields which do propagate with a single speed are found to be a rotation in field space of the adiabatic and entropy perturbations. We show how this affects the form of the horizon-crossing power spectrum, when there is not a single "adiabatic sound speed" sourcing the curvature perturbation. Special cases of our results are discussed, including $P(X)$ theories where the adiabatic and entropy perturbations are fundamental. We finally look at physical motivations for considering multi-speed models of inflation, particularly showing that disformal couplings can naturally lead to the kind of kinetic interactions which cause fields to have different sound speeds.
