摘要:

考虑了在暴胀过程中张量模变质量的宇宙学模型,研究了暴胀过程中标量模和质量张量模混合产生的宇宙微波背景(CMB)温度和偏振双谱.该模型假设在通货膨胀期间存在一个优选的空间框架。在宇宙学中,局部洛伦兹不变性已经被打破,因为存在一个优选的静止框架。优选空间框架的存在进一步打破了剩余的局部SO(3)不变性,特别是在张量模式中产生了质量。在线性微扰水平,我们最小化我们的模型,使矢量模式保持非动力学,而标量模式是相同的单场慢卷暴胀。在非线性微扰水平,这种暴胀的大质量引力子相位导致相当大的标量-标量-张量耦合,远大于标量-标量-标量耦合,与传统的情况相反。这种标量-标量-张量相互作用在CMB温度和偏振双谱中留下了尺度依赖的特征。非常有趣的是,我们发现预测的尺度依赖性和尺度依赖的非高斯性之间的相似性暗示在低多极WMAP和普朗克的结果。

英文摘要:

We consider a cosmological model in which the tensor mode becomes massive during inflation, and study the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and polarization bispectra arising from the mixing between the scalar mode and the massive tensor mode during inflation. The model assumes the existence of a preferred spatial frame during inflation. The local Lorentz invariance is already broken in cosmology due to the existence of a preferred rest frame. The existence of a preferred spatial frame further breaks the remaining local SO(3) invariance and in particular gives rise to a mass in the tensor mode. At linear perturbation level, we minimize our model so that the vector mode remains non-dynamical, while the scalar mode is the same as the one in single-field slow-roll inflation. At non-linear perturbation level, this inflationary massive graviton phase leads to a sizeable scalar-scalar-tensor coupling, much greater than the scalar-scalar-scalar one, as opposed to the conventional case. This scalar-scalar-tensor interaction imprints a scale dependent feature in the CMB temperature and polarization bispectra. Very intriguingly, we find a surprizing similarity between the predicted scale dependence and the scale-dependent non-Gaussianities at low multipoles hinted in the WMAP and Planck results.
