On Resumming Inflationary Perturbations beyond One-loop

چکیده
It is well known that the correlation functions of a scalar field in a quasi-de Sitter space exhibit at the loop level cumulative infra-red effects proportional to the total number of e-foldings of inflation. Using the in-in formalism, we explore the behavior of these infrared effects in the large N limit of an O(N) invariant scalar field theory with quartic selfinteractions. By resumming all higher-order loop diagrams non-perturbatively, we show that the infra-red effects disappear and that the connected four-point correlation function, which is a signal of non-Gaussianity, is non-perturbatively enhanced with respect to its tree-level value.

Loop Corrections to Cosmological Perturbations in Multi-field Inflationary Models: I. Entropy Loops
We investigate one-loop quantum corrections to the power spectrum of adiabatic perturbation from entropy modes/adiabatic mode cross-interactions in multiple DBI inflationary models. We find that due to the non-canonical kinetic term in DBI models, the loop corrections are enhanced by slow-varying parameter ǫ and small sound speed cs. Thus, in general the loop-corrections in multi-DBI models can...

متن کاملTime dependent correlations of inflationary perturbations
– We show that if the primordial classical perturbations were generated by the gravitational particle creation during inflation, and followed by an evolution of quantum-to-classical transition , the time dependent correlation of these perturbations is long-tailed with a correlation time larger than the Hubble-time. Consequently, the inflationary perturbations are locally scale-scale correlated....
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 کامل3 CMB , Quantum Fluctuations and the Predictive Power of Inflation
I comment on the predictive power of inflation and recent CMB measurements. When more than twenty years ago G. Chibisov and I were fortunate to discover that quantum fluctuations could be responsible for the large scale structure of the universe, we hardly thought it would be possible one day to verify this prediction experimentally. We wrote a paper we derived the spectrum of cosmological metr...
