The 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 کاملInflationary cosmology with scalar field and radiation
We present a simple, exact and self-consistent cosmology with a phenomenological model of quantum creation of radiation due to decay of the scalar field. The decay drives a nonisentropic inflationary epoch, which exits smoothly to the radiation era, without reheating. The initial vacuum for radiation is a regular Minkowski vacuum. The created radiation obeys standard thermodynamic laws, and the...
متن کاملInflationary scalar spectrum in loop quantum cosmology
In the context of loop quantum cosmology, we consider an inflationary era driven by a canonical scalar field and occurring in the semiclassical regime, where spacetime is a continuum but quantum gravitational effects are important. The spectral amplitude and index of scalar perturbations on an unperturbed de Sitter background are computed at lowest order in the slow-roll parameters. The scalar ...
متن کاملConstraints on Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity from Density Perturbations in Inflationary Cosmology
Spectra of density perturbations produced during chaotic inflation in scalartensor theories of gravity are calculated, taking both adiabatic and isocurvature modes into account. Comparing the predicted spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation anisotropies with the one observed by the COBE-DMR we calculate constraints on the parameters of these theories, which turn out to be stronge...
متن کاملAveraging inhomogeneities in scalar-tensor cosmology
The backreaction of inhomogeneities on the cosmic dynamics is studied in the context of scalar-tensor gravity. Due to terms of indefinite sign in the non-canonical effective energy tensor of the Brans–Dicke-like scalar field, extra contributions to the cosmic acceleration can arise. Brans–Dicke and metric f(R) gravity are presented as specific examples. Certain representation problems of the fo...
