Constraining single-field inflation with MegaMapper

چکیده
We forecast the constraints on single-field inflation from bispectrum of future high-redshift surveys such as MegaMapper. Considering non-local primordial non-Gaussianity (NLPNG), we find that current methods will yield order σ(fNLeq)≈23, σ(fNLorth)≈12 in a joint power-spectrum and analysis, varying both nuisance parameters cosmology, including conservative range scales. Fixing cosmological quadratic bias parameter relations, limits tighten significantly to σ(fNLeq)≈17, σ(fNLorth)≈8. These compare favorably with forecasted bounds CMB-S4: σ(fNLeq)≈21, σ(fNLorth)≈9, combined constraint σ(fNLeq)≈14, σ(fNLorth)≈7; this weakens only slightly if one instead combines data Simons Observatory. additionally perform Fisher analyses for error, forecasting dependence marginalization, scale cuts, survey strategy. Lack knowledge counterterm is found limit information content; could be ameliorated by tight simulation-based priors parameters. The error-bars decrease number observed galaxies depth increased: expected, deep dense are most constraining, though it difficult reach σ(fNL)≈1 methods. NLPNG further improved theoretical models (incorporating higher-loop corrections understanding parameters), well inclusion additional higher-order statistics.

Tachyon inflation : tests and comparison with single scalar field inflation
We compare the standard single scalar field inflationary predictions with those of an inflationary phase driven by a tachyon field. A slow-roll formalism is defined for tachyon inflation, and we derive the spectra of scalar and tensor perturbations as well as the consistency relations. At lowest order the predictions of standard and tachyon inflation are shown to be the same. Higher order devia...
متن کاملConstraining Inflation with Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization
Observations of the polarization of the cosmic microwave backround (CMB) have the potential to place much tighter constraints on cosmological parameters than observations of the fluctuations in temperature alone. We discuss using CMB polarization to constrain parameters relevant for distinguishing among popular models for cosmological inflation, using the MAP and Planck satellite missions as ex...
متن کاملConstraining SUSY GUTs and Inflation with Cosmology
In the framework of Supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories (SUSY GUTs), the universe undergoes a cascade of symmetry breakings, during which topological defects can be formed. We address the question of the probability of cosmic string formation after a phase of hybrid inflation within a large number of models of SUSY GUTs in agreement with particle and cosmological data. We show that cosmic str...
متن کاملTesting and comparing tachyon inflation to single standard field inflation
We study the evolution of perturbations during the domination and decay of a massive particle species whose mass and decay rate are allowed to depend on the expectation value of a light scalar field. We specialize to the case where the light field is slow-rolling, showing that during a phase of inhomogeneous mass-domination and decay the isocurvature perturbation of the light field is converted...
متن کاملTrispectrum versus bispectrum in single-field inflation
In the standard slow-roll inflationary cosmology, quantum fluctuations in a single field, the inflaton, generate approximately Gaussian primordial density perturbations. At present, the bispectrum and trispectrum of the density perturbations have not been observed and the probability distribution for these perturbations is consistent with Gaussianity. However, Planck satellite data will bring a...
