NO Curvatons or Hybrid Quintessential Inflation
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a curvaton scenario in which the late-time domination and the generation of the curvature perturbation is achieved by a non-oscillatory (NO) curvaton potential. Instead of considering the conventional curvaton oscillation, we consider “weak trapping” after preheating, which modifies the evolution of the curvaton density after preheating. The primordial isocurvature perturbation related to the curvaton is once converted into the fluctuation of the number density of the preheat field through inhomogeneous preheating. Then the evolution of the curvatons and the preheat field is controlled by the preheat-field number density. The density of these fields decreases slightly slower than the standard matter density which suggests that these fields will grow with time. Finally, the preheat field decays to reheat the Universe leaving behind the curvature perturbation. In our scenario the task of the standard curvaton is not executed solely by the curvaton itself but is partially shared with the preheat field. NO curvatons can be considered as the hybrid version of the quintessential inflationary model.

Remote Inflation : Hybrid - like inflation without hybrid - type potential Tomohiro Matsuda
A new scenario of hybrid-like inflation is considered without using hybridtype potential. Radiation raised continuously by a dissipating inflaton field causes symmetry restoration in a remote sector, and the false-vacuum energy of the remote sector dominates the energy density during inflation. Remote inflation is terminated when the temperature reaches the critical temperature, or when the slo...

متن کاملCurvatons and inhomogeneous scenarios with deviation from slow-roll
The spectral index is studied at the point where scalar fields deviate from slow-roll during inflation. Considering the deviation that may cause a significant difference to the time derivative of the Hubble parameter and also to the terms in the evolution equation, we show how the deviation affects the spectral index of the curvature perturbations. Considering conventional inflation, curvatons ...
