New DBI Inflation model with Kinetic Coupling to Einstein Gravity
In this letter we study a new class of inflation models which generalize the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action with the addition of a nonminimal kinetic coupling (NKC) term. We dubbed this model as the new DBI inflation model. The NKC term does not bring new dynamical degree of freedom, so the equations of motion remain of second order. However, with such a coupling, the action is no longer linear...
متن کاملInflation by non-minimal coupling
Inflationary scenarios based on simple non-minimal coupling aφ2R and its generalizations are studied. First, generalizing the form of non-minimal coupling to K(φ)R with an arbitrary function K, we show that the flat potential still is obtainable when V (φ)/K2(φ) is asymptotically constant. Very interestingly, if the ratio of the dimensionless quartic coupling(λ) of the inflaton field and the no...
متن کاملMetric-scalar gravity with torsion and the measurability of the non-minimal coupling
The “measurability” of the non-minimal coupling is discussed by considering the correction to the Newtonian static potential in the semi-classical approach. The coefficient of the “gravitational Darwin term” (GDT) gets redefined by the non-minimal torsion scalar couplings. Based on a similar analysis of the GDT in the effective field theory approach to non-minimal scalar we conclude that for re...
متن کاملModulus stabilization via non-minimal coupling
We propose a massless nonminimally coupled scalar field as a mechanism for stabilizing the size of the extradimension in the Randall-Sundrum I scenario. Without needing to introduce self interactions terms we obtain a potential for the modulus field that sets the size of the fifth dimension. The minumum of this potential yields appropriate values of the compactification scale for small values o...
متن کاملKinetic Theory of Non-abelian Plasma: a Non-minimal Model
The self-consistent system of master equations describing the kinetics of a relativistic non-Abelian plasma, influenced by curvature interactions, is formulated. Non-minimal (curvature induced) coupling is shown to modify all the subsystems of the model: the gauge field equations, the gravity field equations and the kinetic equation for colored particles.
