关于前暴胀时代及其对功率谱影响的半经典预言

Semiclassical predictions regarding a pre-inflationary era and its effects on the power spectrum

Paul R. Anderson, Eric D. Carlson, Taylor M. Ordines, Bradley Hicks

摘要:

对前暴胀时代的性质和影响进行了调查,在此期间,至少有一部分半经典引力是有效的。有人认为,如果宇宙(或我们的一部分)在那个时代近似均匀和各向同性,那么宇宙很可能是辐射主导的。本文用一个简单的宇宙宇宙学常数来研究前暴胀时期对宇宙微波背景的潜在影响。功率谱的计算使用的模式函数的量化的无质量最小耦合标量场。考虑了这个场的各种状态选择,包括各种阶数的绝热真空态和如果宇宙从辐射主导突然过渡到德西特空间时自然发生的真空态。在所有的情况下调查,有一个抑制的功率谱在大角度,而且,当绘制为动量参数的函数,总是有振荡与状态相关的振幅。

英文摘要:

An investigation is undertaken into the properties and effects of a preinflationary era during at least part of which semiclassical gravity was valid. It is argued that if the Universe (or our part of it) was approximately homogeneous and isotropic during that era, then the Universe was likely to have been radiation dominated. A simple model in which the Universe contains classical radiation and a cosmological constant is used to investigate potential effects of such a preinflationary era on the cosmic microwave background. The power spectrum is computed using the mode functions of a quantized massless minimally coupled scalar field. Various choices of state for this field are considered, including adiabatic vacuum states of various orders and the vacuum state that would naturally occur if the Universe made a sudden transition from being radiation dominated to de Sitter space. In all cases investigated, there is a suppression of the power spectrum at large angles, and, when plotted as a function of the momentum parameter, there are always oscillations with state-dependent amplitudes.
