Causality and Cosmic Inflation
In the context of inflationary models with a pre-inflationary stage, in which the Einstein equations are obeyed, the weak energy condition is satisfied, and spacetime topology is trivial, we argue that homogeneity on super-Hubble scales must be assumed as an initial condition. Models in which inflation arises from field dynamics in a Friedman-Robertson-Walker background fall into this class but...
متن کاملCosmic Inflation *
I review the current status of the theory of Cosmic Inflation. My discussion covers the motivation and implementation of the idea, as well as an analysis of recent successes and open questions. There is a special discussion of the physics of “cosmic coherence” in the primordial perturbations. The issue of coherence is at the heart of much of the success inflation theory has achieved at the hand...
متن کاملStrong Cosmic Censorship and Causality Violation
We investigate the instability of the Cauchy horizon caused by causality violation in the compact vacuum universe with the topology B × S × R, which Moncrief and Isenberg considered. We show that if the occurrence of curvature singularities are restricted to the boundary of causality violating region, the whole segments of the boundary become curvature singularities. This implies that the stron...
متن کاملFitting cosmic microwave background data with cosmic strings and inflation.
We perform a multiparameter likelihood analysis to compare measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectra with predictions from models involving cosmic strings. Adding strings to the standard case of a primordial spectrum with power-law tilt ns, we find a 2sigma detection of strings: f10=0.11+/-0.05, where f10 is the fractional contribution made by strings in the temperatur...
متن کاملIntroductory Review of Cosmic Inflation
These lecture notes provide an introduction to cosmic inflation. In particular I will review the basic concepts of inflation, generation of density perturbations, and reheating after inflation. email: [email protected], [email protected] 1 Preface These lecture notes are based on invited lectures at The Second Tah Poe School on Cosmology “Modern Cosmology”, Naresuan U...
