Oscillations in the inflaton potential?
We consider a class of inflationary models with small oscillations imprinted on an otherwise smooth inflaton potential. These oscillations are manifest as oscillations in the power spectrum of primordial perturbations, which then give rise to oscillating departures from the standard cosmic microwave background power spectrum. We show that current data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Pro...
متن کاملSketching the Inflaton Potential
Based on solutions of the Stewart-Lyth inverse problem it is argued that in the CMB data analysis the parametrization of the primordial spectra from inflation must include the ‘running’ of both, scalar and tensorial, spectral indices if information beyond the exponential potential model is wanted to be detected.
متن کاملObserving the inflaton potential.
We show how observations of the density perturbation (scalar) spectrum and the gravitational wave (tensor) spectrum allow a reconstruction of the potential responsible for cosmological inflation. A complete functional reconstruction or a perturbative approximation about a single scale are possible; the suitability of each approach depends on the data available. Consistency equations between the...
متن کاملInflaton potential reconstruction in the braneworld scenario
We consider inflaton potential reconstruction in the context of the simplest braneworld scenario, where both the Friedmann equation and the form of scalar and tensor perturbations are modified at high energies. We derive the reconstruction equations, and analyze them analytically in the high-energy limit and numerically for the general case. As previously shown by Huey and Lidsey, the consisten...
متن کاملOn the reliability of inflaton potential reconstruction
If primordial scalar and tensor perturbation spectra can be inferred from observations of the cosmic background radiation and large-scale structure, then one might hope to reconstruct a unique single-field inflaton potential capable of generating the observed spectra. In this paper we examine conditions under which such a potential can be reliably reconstructed. For it to be possible at all, th...
