Gravity, Parametric Resonance and Chaotic Inflation
For nearly a decade it has been known that coherent processes at the end of inflation can drive explosive particle production [1] via parametric resonance, leading to an era of preheating in the post-inflationary universe. Earlier assumptions about the transfer of energy from the inflaton to “regular” matter have been overturned, and the phenomenology of the post-inflationary universe is thus m...
متن کاملHierarchical axion inflation.
We propose a new field theory mechanism for generating an effective trans-Planckian decay constant from sub-Planckian ones. Using the minimal two axions and a hierarchy between two axion decay constants is sufficient for realizing inflation through nonperturbative effects only and with minimal tuning. The inflationary motion is kept entirely within a sub-Planckian domain. We outline possible st...
متن کاملGravity Waves and Linear Inflation from Axion Monodromy
Wrapped branes in string compactifications introduce a monodromy that extends the field range of individual closed-string axions to beyond the Planck scale. Furthermore, approximate shift symmetries of the system naturally control corrections to the axion potential. This suggests a general mechanism for chaotic inflation driven by monodromy-extended closedstring axions. We systematically analyz...
متن کاملModulated inflation from kinetic term
We study modulated inflation from kinetic term. Using the MukhanovSasaki variable, it is possible to determine how mixing induced by the kinetic term feeds the curvature perturbation with the isocurvature perturbation. We show explicitly that the analytic result obtained from the evolution of the Mukhanov-Sasaki variable is consistent with the δN -formula. From our results, we find analytic con...
متن کاملLeptogenesis from Left-Handed Neutrino Production during Axion Inflation.
We propose that the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry can be naturally produced as a by-product of axion-driven slow-roll inflation by coupling the axion to standard model neutrinos. We assume that grand unified theory scale right-handed neutrinos are responsible for the masses of the standard model neutrinos and that the Higgs field is light during inflation and develops a Hubble-scale root...
