Hilltop Inflation
We study ‘hilltop’ inflation, in which inflation takes place near a maximum of the potential. Viewed as a model of inflation after the observable Universe leaves the horizon (observable inflation) hilltop inflation is rather generic. If the potential steepens monotonically, observable hilltop inflation gives a tiny tensor fraction (r ∼ 0.002). The usual F and D-term models may easily be transmu...
متن کاملSuper Hilltop Inflation
In this paper, we consider logarithmic radiative corrections and higher order terms to the supersymmetric hilltop Fand D-term hybrid inflation models. Conventional Fand D-term hybrid inflation only predicts ns > ∼ 0.98. We show that via a positive quadratic and a negative quartic correction the spectral index can be reduced to ns = 0.96 suggested from latest WMAP result and also cosmic string p...
متن کاملInflation and Eternal Inflation
The basic workings of inflationary models are summarized, along with the arguments that strongly suggest that our universe is the product of inflation. The mechanisms that lead to eternal inflation in both new and chaotic models are described. Although the infinity of pocket universes produced by eternal inflation are unobservable, it is argued that eternal inflation has real consequences in te...
متن کاملRegulating Eternal Inflation
We present an interpretation of the physics of space-times undergoing eternal inflation by repeated nucleation of bubbles. In many cases the physics can be interpreted in terms of the quantum mechanics of a system with a finite number of states. If this interpretation is correct, the conventional picture of these space-times is misleading.
متن کاملHolographic probabilities in eternal inflation.
In the global description of eternal inflation, probabilities for vacua are notoriously ambiguous. The local point of view is preferred by holography and naturally picks out a simple probability measure. It is insensitive to large expansion factors or lifetimes and so resolves a recently noted paradox. Any cosmological measure must be complemented with the probability for observers to emerge in...
