非慢滚式通货膨胀的一种分析方法

An analytic approach to non-slow-roll inflation

Gianmassimo Tasinato

摘要:

暴胀期间短暂的非慢卷演化可以产生有趣的可观察结果,如原始黑洞,或暴胀引力波谱在小尺度上增强。我们开发了一个独立的模型,分析方法研究预测的单场的情况下,其中包括短阶段的慢滚违规。我们的方法是基于泰勒展开的宇宙学波动方程在一个小的数量,参数化的持续时间的非慢卷时代。扰动的超视界谱由几个有效参数描述,并且其特征在于显著的倾角,随后是其振幅的快速增长,如通常在数值和分析研究中发现的。发现小尺度谱的倾斜位置$k_{\rm dip}/k_*$和最大增强$Π_{\rm max}$由规律$k_{\rm dip}/k_*\propto Π_{\rm max}^{-1/4}$相关,并确定了比例常数。对于一个单一的时代的慢滚违规,我们确认以前的研究,发现最陡的斜率的频谱以及后倾角的光谱指数$n-1\,=\,4$。另一方面,对于多个相位的慢滚违规,频谱的斜率通常被增强。例如,当两个时期的慢滚违反发生,分开的一个阶段的准德西特展开,我们发现,光谱指数可以达到值$n-1\,=\,8$。这一现象表明,频谱的斜率保持了历史的非慢滚阶段发生在通货膨胀的记忆。

英文摘要:

Brief periods of non-slow-roll evolution during inflation can produce interesting observable consequences, as primordial black holes, or an inflationary gravitational wave spectrum enhanced at small scales. We develop a model independent, analytic approach for studying the predictions of single-field scenarios which include short phases of slow-roll violation. Our method is based on Taylor expanding the equations for cosmological fluctuations in a small quantity, which parameterizes the duration of the non-slow-roll eras. The super-horizon spectrum of perturbations is described by few effective parameters, and is characterized by a pronounced dip followed by a rapid growth in its amplitude, as typically found in numerical and analytical studies. The dip position $k_{\rm dip}/k_*$ and the maximal enhancement $Π_{\rm max}$ of the spectrum towards small scales are found to be related by the law $k_{\rm dip}/k_*\propto Π_{\rm max}^{-1/4}$, and we determine the proportionality constant. For a single epoch of slow-roll violation we confirm previous studies, finding that the steepest slope of the spectrum well after the dip has spectral index $n-1\,=\,4$. On the other hand, with multiple phases of slow-roll violation, the slope of the spectrum is generally enhanced. For example, when two epochs of slow-roll violation take place, separated by a phase of quasi-de Sitter expansion, we find that the spectral index can reach the value $n-1\,=\,8$. This phenomenon indicates that the slope of the spectrum keeps memory of the history of non-slow-roll phases occurred during inflation.
