Inflation Induced by Vacuum Energy and Graceful Exit from it
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motivated by brane cosmology we solve the Einstein equations with a time dependent cosmological constant. Assuming that at an early epoch the vacuum energy scales as 1/logt, we show that the universe passes from a fast growing phase (inflation) to an expanding phase in a natural way.

Old Inflation in String Theory
We propose a stringy version of the old inflation scenario which does not require any slowroll inflaton potential and is based on a specific example of string compactification with warped metric. Our set-up admits the presence of anti-D3-branes in the deep infrared region of the metric and a false vacuum state with positive vacuum energy density. The latter is responsible for the accelerated pe...
متن کاملGraceful Exit in Extended Inflation and Implications for Density Perturbations
Two qualitatively different modes of ending superluminal expansion are possible in extended inflation. One mode, different from the one envoked in most extended models to date, easily avoids making big bubbles that distort the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR). In this mode, the spectrum of density fluctuations is found to be scale-free, P (k) ∝ k, where n might lie anywhere between ...
متن کاملThe graceful exit from the anomaly-induced inflation: supersymmetry as a key
The stable version of the anomaly-induced inflation does not require any fine tuning and provides sufficient expansion of the Universe. The non-stable version (Starobinsky model) provides the graceful exit to the FRW phase. We indicate the possibility of the inflation which is stable at the beginning and unstable at the end. The effect is due to the soft supersymmetry breaking and the decouplin...
متن کاملInflation from Extra Dimensions
A gravity-driven inflation is shown to arise from a simple higher dimensional universe. In vacuum, the shear of n > 1 contracting dimensions is able to inflate the remaining three spatial dimensions. Said another way, the expansion of the 3-volume is accelerated by the contraction of the n-volume. Upon dimensional reduction, the theory is equivalent to a four dimensional cosmology with a dynami...
