Intermittent null energy condition violations during inflation and primordial gravitational waves

نویسندگان

چکیده

Primordial null energy condition (NEC) violation would imprint a blue-tilted spectrum on gravitational wave background (GWB). However, its implications the GWB might be far richer than expected. We present scenario, in which after slow-roll (NEC-preserving) inflation with Hubble parameter $H\ensuremath{\simeq}{H}_{inf1}$, Universe goes through an NEC-violating period and then enters subsequent higher $H$ ($={H}_{inf2}\ensuremath{\gg}{H}_{inf1}$). The resulting primordial is nearly flat at cosmic microwave band, as well frequency $f\ensuremath{\sim}1/\mathrm{yr}$ but amplitude (compatible recent NANOGrav result). It also highlighted that for multistage if NEC violations happened intermittently, we have Great Wall--like of stochastic corresponding band.

B-Pol: Detecting Primordial Gravitational Waves Generated During Inflation

B-Pol is a medium-class space mission aimed at detecting the primordial gravitational waves generated during inflation through high accuracy measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization. We discuss the scientific background, feasibility of the experiment, and implementation developed in response to the ESA Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 Call for Proposals.

Primordial Gravitational Waves From Open Inflation

We calculate the spectrum of gravitational waves generated during inflation in open (Ω0 < 1) inflationary models. In such models an initial epoch of old inflation solves the horizon and flatness problems, and during this first epoch of inflation the quantum state of the graviton field rapidly approaches the Bunch-Davies vacuum. Then old inflation ends by the nucleation of a single bubble, insid...

Dark Energy and Inflation from Gravitational Waves

In this seven-part paper, we show that gravitational waves (classical and quantum) produce the accelerated de Sitter expansion at the start and at the end of the cosmological evolution of the Universe. In these periods, the Universe contains no matter fields but contains classical and quantum metric fluctuations, i.e., it is filled with classical and quantum gravitational waves. In such evoluti...

Horizon Complementarity and Casimir Violations of the Null Energy Condition

The principle of horizon complementarity is an attempt to extend ideas about black hole complementarity to all horizons, including cosmological ones. The idea is that the degrees of freedom necessary to describe the interior of the cosmic horizon of one observer in a given universe are in fact sufficient to account for the physics of that entire universe: the remainder is just a set of redundan...

Primordial gravitational waves and cosmology.

The observation of primordial gravitational waves could provide a new and unique window on the earliest moments in the history of the universe and on possible new physics at energies many orders of magnitude beyond those accessible at particle accelerators. Such waves might be detectable soon, in current or planned satellite experiments that will probe for characteristic imprints in the polariz...
