Planck scale inflationary spectra from quantum gravity
We derive the semiclassical evolution of massless minimally coupled scalar matter in the de Sitter space-time from the Born-Oppenheimer reduction of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. We show that the dynamics of trans-Planckian modes can be cast in the form of an effective modified dispersion relation and that high energy corrections in the power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation...
متن کاملInflationary attractors and perturbation spectra in generally coupled gravity.
A generic outcome of theories with scalar-tensor coupling is the existence of inflationary attractors, either power-law or de Sitter. The fluctuations arising during this phase are Gaussian and their spectrum depends on the wavenumber k according to the power-law k 1/(1−p) , where p is the inflationary power-law exponent. We investigate to which extent these properties depend on the coupling fu...
متن کاملInflationary Reheating in Grand Unified Theories
Grand unified theories may display multiply interacting fields with strong coupling dynamics. This poses two new problems: (1) what is the nature of chaotic reheating after inflation, and (2) how is reheating sensitive to the mass spectrum of these theories ? We answer these questions in two interesting limiting cases and demonstrate an increased efficiency of reheating which strongly enhances ...
متن کاملInflationary Cosmology in Modified Gravity Theories
We review inflationary cosmology in modified gravity such as R gravity with its extensions in order to generalize the Starobinsky inflation model. In particular, we explore inflation realized by three kinds of effects: modification of gravity, the quantum anomaly, and the R term in loop quantum cosmology. It is explicitly demonstrated that in these inflationary models, the spectral index of sca...
متن کاملPost - COBE predictions for Inflationary Gravity Wave and Density Perturbation spectra
We assess the relative contribution to the COBE-measured microwave anisotropy arising both from relic gravity waves as well as primordial density perturbations originating during inflation. We show that the gravity wave contribution to the CMBR anisotropy depends sensitively upon n – the primordial spectral index (|δ k | 2 ∝ k n), increasing as n deviates from a Harrison-Zeldovich spectrum (n =...
