Inflationary potentials yielding constant scalar perturbation spectral indices
Inflation, a cornerstone of the modern framework for understanding the early universe @1,2#, predicts the initial conditions for the formation of structure and the cosmic microwave background ~CMB! anisotropies. During inflation, the primordial scalar ~density! and tensor ~gravitational wave! perturbations generated by quantum fluctuations are redshifted beyond the Hubble radius, becoming froze...
متن کاملRunning of the scalar spectral index from inflationary models
The scalar spectral index n is an important parameter describing the nature of primordial density perturbations. Recent data, including those from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe satellite, show some evidence that the index runs ~changes as a function of the scale k at which it is measured! from n.1 ~blue! on long scales to n,1 ~red! on short scales. We investigate the extent to which ...
متن کاملStochastic Inflationary Scalar Electrodynamics
We stochastically formulate the theory of scalar quantum electrodynamics on a de Sitter background. This reproduces the leading infrared logarithms at each loop order. It also allows one to sum the series of leading infrared logarithms to obtain explicit, nonperturbative results about the late time behavior of the system. One consequence is confirmation of the conjecture by Davis, Dimopoulos, P...
متن کاملThe Scalar-Tensor Inflationary Cosmology
In this paper the scalar-tensor theory of gravity is assumed to describe the evolution of the universe and the gravitational scalar φ is ascribed to play the role of inflaton. The theory is characterized by the specified coupling function ω(φ) and the cosmological function λ(φ). The function λ(φ) is nearly constant for 0 < φ < 0.1 and λ(1) = 0. The functions λ(φ) and ω(φ) provide a double-well ...
متن کاملRelating spectral indices to tensor and scalar amplitudes in inflation.
Within an expansion in slow-roll in ation parameters, we derive secondorder expressions relating the ratio of tensor to scalar density perturbations and the spectral index of the scalar spectrum. We nd that \corrections" to previously derived formulae can dominate if the tensor to scalar ratio is small. For instance, if V V 00=(V ) 6= 1 or if mP l=(4 ) jV 000=V j > 1, where V ( ) is the in aton...
