度量仿射二次引力的暴胀

Inflation in Metric-Affine Quadratic Gravity

Ioannis D. Gialamas, Kyriakos Tamvakis

摘要:

在度量-仿射引力理论的一般框架中,度量和连接是独立变量,我们考虑Ricci标量曲率和Holst不变量(黎曼曲率与Levi-Civita反对称张量的收缩)中的二次作用非极小地耦合到标量场.我们研究的轮廓等效有效度规理论,具有额外的动力学赝标量自由度,并表明,它减少到一个有效的单场暴胀模型。我们详细分析了暴胀的预测,发现它们落在最新的观测范围内的参数范围很广,允许张量标量比的增加。谱指数可以根据参数空间中的位置而减小或增大。

英文摘要:

In the general framework of Metric-Affine theories of gravity, where the metric and the connection are independent variables, we consider actions quadratic in the Ricci scalar curvature and the Holst invariant (the contraction of the Riemann curvature with the Levi-Civita antisymmetric tensor) coupled non-minimally to a scalar field. We study the profile of the equivalent effective metric theory, featuring an extra dynamical pseudoscalar degree of freedom, and show that it reduces to an effective single-field inflationary model. We analyze in detail the inflationary predictions and find that they fall within the latest observational bounds for a wide range of parameters, allowing for an increase in the tensor-to-scalar ratio. The spectral index can either decrease or increase depending on the position in parameter space.
