A hemispherical power asymmetry from inflation
Measurements of cosmic microwave background temperature fluctuations by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe indicate that the fluctuation amplitude in one half of the sky differs from the amplitude in the other half. We show that such an asymmetry cannot be generated during single-field slow-roll inflation without violating constraints to the homogeneity of the Universe. In contrast, a mul...
متن کاملHemispherical Power Asymmetry in the Three-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe Sky Maps
We consider the issue of hemispherical power asymmetry in the three-year WMAP data, adopting a previously introduced modulation framework. Computing both frequentist probabilities and Bayesian evidences, we find that the model consisiting of an isotropic CMB sky modulated by a dipole field, gives a substantially better fit to the observations than the purely isotropic model, even when accountin...
متن کاملConstraints on cosmic hemispherical power anomalies from quasars
Recent analyses of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps from the WMAP satellite have uncovered evidence for a hemispherical power anomaly, i.e. a dipole modulation of the CMB power spectrum at large angular scales with an amplitude of ±14 percent. Erickcek et al have put forward an inflationary model to explain this anomaly. Their scenario is a variation on the curvaton scenario in which ...
متن کاملPower-Law Inflation from the Rolling Tachyon
Modeling the potential by an inverse square law in terms of the tachyon field (V (T ) = βT−2) we find exact solution for spatially flat isotropic universe. We show that for β > 2 √ 3/3 the model undergoes power-law inflation. A way to construct other exact solutions is specified and exemplified. Several interesting attempts to reconcile the inflationary paradigm with string theories have result...
متن کاملBaryon Asymmetry , Inflation and Squeezed States .
We use the general formalism of squeezed rotated states to calculate baryon asymmetry in the wake of inflation through parametric amplification. We base our analysis on a B and CP violating Lagrangian in an isotropically expanding universe. The B and CP violating terms originate from the coupling of complex fields with non-zero baryon number to a complex background inflaton field. We show that ...
