多场暴胀的大数极限

The Large Number Limit of Multifield Inflation

Zhong-Kai Guo

摘要:

我们计算了一般单式多场慢卷暴胀模型的张量谱指数$n_t$、$n_s$、张量标量比$r$、相容关系$n_t/r$和带势$V \sim\sum_iλ_i \left|ϕ_i\right|^{p_i}$ .当$N_f$在$\mathcal{O}(10^{40})$附近变得非常大时,一般模型给出了$n_t$、$n_s$和$n_t/r$都与场数$N_f$的对数成正比的新关系.上界$N_f\lesssim N_*e^{ZN_*}$通过要求慢变参数足够小而给出,其中$N_*$是e折叠数,$Z$是$λ_i$和$p_i$的分布的函数。此外,除了少数非常特殊的情况外,$n_t/r$与单场结果$-1/8$有很大的概率不同。最后,我们推导出理论界$r>2/N_*$($r\gtrsim0.03$)和$n_t$,可以通过观察在不久的将来进行测试。

英文摘要:

We compute the tensor and scalar spectral index $n_t$, $n_s$, the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$, the consistency relation $n_t/r$ in the general monomial multifield slow-roll inflation models with potentials $V \sim\sum_iλ_i \left|ϕ_i\right|^{p_i}$. The general models give a novel relation that $n_t$, $n_s$ and $n_t/r$ are all proportional to the logarithm of the number of fields $N_f$ when $N_f$ is getting extremely large with the order of magnitude around $\mathcal{O}(10^{40})$. An upper bound $N_f\lesssim N_*e^{ZN_*}$ is given by requiring the slow variation parameter small enough where $N_*$ is the e-folding number and $Z$ is a function of distributions of $λ_i$ and $p_i$. Besides, $n_t/r$ differs from the single-field result $-1/8$ with substantial probability except for a few very special cases. Finally, we derive theoretical bounds $r>2/N_*$ ($r\gtrsim0.03$) and for $n_t$ which can be tested by observation in the near future.
