Dynamics and perturbations in assisted chaotic inflation
It was recently pointed out by Liddle et al. [1] that, under certain circumstances, it is possible for a set of scalar fields to act cooperatively to drive a period of cosmological inflation, even if none of the individual fields are capable of so doing. Such behaviour is known as assisted inflation, and in Ref. [1] investigation was made of the case of multiple fields moving in exponential pot...
متن کاملAssisted Chaotic Inflation in Higher Dimensional Theories
We address the problem of the large initial field values in chaotic inflation and propose a remedy in the framework of the so-called assisted inflation. We demonstrate that a 4-dimensional theory of multiple, scalar fields with initial field values considerably below the Planck scale, can give rise to inflation even though none of the individual scalar fields are capable of driving inflation. T...
متن کاملDynamics of Assisted Inflation
We investigate the dynamics of the recently proposed model of assisted inflation. In this model an arbitrary number of scalar fields with exponential potentials evolve towards an inflationary scaling solution, even if each of the individual potentials is too steep to support inflation on its own. By choosing an appropriate rotation in field space we can write down explicitly the potential for t...
متن کاملDynamics of perturbations in disordered chaotic systems.
We study the time evolution of perturbations in spatially extended chaotic systems in the presence of quenched disorder. We find that initially random perturbations tend to exponentially localize in space around static pinning centers that are selected by the particular configuration of disorder. The spatiotemporal behavior of typical perturbations deltau(x,t) is analyzed in terms of the Hopf-C...
متن کاملChaotic Dynamics and Two-Field Inflation
We demonstrate the existence of chaos in realistic models of two-field inflation. The chaotic motion takes place after the end of inflation, when the fields are free to oscillate and their motion is only lightly damped by the expansion of the universe. We then investigate whether the presence of chaos affects the predictions of two-field models, and show that chaos enhances the production of to...
