Elliptic Inflation: Generating the curvature perturbation without slow-roll
نویسنده
چکیده
There are many inflationary models in which inflaton field does not satisfy the slow-roll condition. In such models, it is difficult to generate the curvature perturbation during inflation. Thus, to generate the curvature perturbation, one must introduce another component to the theory. To cite a case, curvatons may generate dominant part of the curvature perturbation after inflation. However, we have a question whether it is unrealistic to consider the generation of the curvature perturbation during inflation without slow-roll. Assuming multi-field inflation, we encounter the generation of the curvature perturbation during inflation without slow-roll. This idea can be used to solve the serious eta-problem that arises in brane inflationary models.

Brane inflation without slow-roll
The scenario of brane inflation without using the conventional slow-roll approximations has been investigated. Based on the mechanism of generating the curvature perturbations at the end of inflation, a new brane inflation paradigm was developed. The conditions for making a sufficiently large enough number of e-foldings and for generating the curvature perturbations without producing dangerous ...
متن کاملGenerating the primordial curvature perturbation from inflation
The scale–independence of the primordial curvature perturbation suggests that it comes from the vacuum fluctuation during inflation of a light scalar field. This field may be the inflaton, or a different ‘curvaton’ field. The observation of primordial non–gaussianity would be a smoking gun for the curvaton model, while the observation of gravitational waves originating during slow–roll inflatio...
متن کاملModels of inflation liberated by the curvaton hypothesis
It is usually supposed that inflation is of the slow-roll variety, and that the inflaton generates the primordial curvature perturbation. According to the curvaton hypothesis, inflation need not be slow-roll, and if it is the inflaton generates a negligible curvature perturbation. We find that the construction of slow-roll inflation models becomes much easier under this hypothesis. Also, therma...
