The effective Planck mass and the scale of inflation
Observable quantities in cosmology are dimensionless, and therefore independent of the units in which they are measured. This is true of all physical quantities associated with the primordial perturbations that source cosmic microwave background anisotropies such as their amplitude and spectral properties. However, if one were to try and infer an absolute energy scale for inflation-a priori, on...
متن کاملEffective Planck mass and the scale of inflation
A recent paper argued that it is not possible to infer the energy scale of inflation from the amplitude of tensor fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background, because the usual connection is substantially altered if there are a large number of universally coupled fields present during inflation, with mass less than the inflationary Hubble scale. We give a simple argument demonstrating that ...
متن کاملMultifield inflation after Planck: the case for nonminimal couplings.
Multifield models of inflation with nonminimal couplings are in excellent agreement with the recent results from Planck. Across a broad range of couplings and initial conditions, such models evolve along an effectively single-field attractor solution and predict values of the primordial spectral index and its running, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and non-Gaussianities squarely in the observation...
متن کاملThe Net Present Value of Stabilizing Inflation
When countries attempt to stabilize annual inflation rates that are greater than 40 percent, the domestic stock market appreciates by 24 percent on average. The present value of the long-run benefits to shareholders of reducing high inflation outweighs the present value of the short-run costs. In contrast, the average market response is economically weak and statistically insignificant if the p...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass Predictions from Planck to Planck
Koide parameters for both neutrino and mirror neutrino triplets are examined in light of the new Planck results, using the CMB mirror neutrino correspondence. This gives improved rest mass predictions for the neutrinos beyond the original fitted values. In the 1980s, Koide predicted the τ lepton rest mass using the simple relation √ memμ + √ mμmτ + √ mτme me + mμ + mτ = 1 4 (1) involving the mo...
