The Scalar-Tensor Inflationary Cosmology
In this paper the scalar-tensor theory of gravity is assumed to describe the evolution of the universe and the gravitational scalar φ is ascribed to play the role of inflaton. The theory is characterized by the specified coupling function ω(φ) and the cosmological function λ(φ). The function λ(φ) is nearly constant for 0 < φ < 0.1 and λ(1) = 0. The functions λ(φ) and ω(φ) provide a double-well ...

متن کاملInflationary predictions for scalar and tensor fluctuations reconsidered.
We reconsider the predictions of inflation for the spectral index of scalar (energy density) fluctuations (ns) and the tensor/scalar ratio (r) using a discrete, model-independent measure of the degree of fine-tuning required to obtain a given combination of (ns, r ). We find that, except for cases with numerous unnecessary degrees of fine-tuning, ns is less than 0.98, measurably different from ...
متن کاملProduction of scalar and tensor perturbations in inflationary models.
Scalar (density) and tensor (gravity-wave) perturbations provide the basis for the fundamental observable consequences of inflation, including CBR anisotropy and the fluctuations that seed structure formation. In general, these perturbations are nearly scale invariant (Harrison-Zel’dovich spectrum), though slight deviation from scale invariance (“tilt”) can have significant consequences for bot...
متن کاملStochastic Inflationary Scalar Electrodynamics
We stochastically formulate the theory of scalar quantum electrodynamics on a de Sitter background. This reproduces the leading infrared logarithms at each loop order. It also allows one to sum the series of leading infrared logarithms to obtain explicit, nonperturbative results about the late time behavior of the system. One consequence is confirmation of the conjecture by Davis, Dimopoulos, P...
