On the Quasi-Isotropic Inflationary Solution
In this paper we find a solution for a quasi-isotropic inflationary Universe which allows to introduce in the problem a certain degree of inhomogeneity. We consider a model which generalizes the (flat) FRW one by introducing a first order inhomogeneous term, whose dynamics is induced by an effective cosmological constant. The 3-metric tensor is constituted by a dominant term, corresponding to a...
متن کاملMoving Observers in an Isotropic Universe
We show how the anisotropy resulting from the motion of an observer in an isotropic universe may be determined by measurements. This provides a means to identify inertial frames, yielding a simple resolution to the twins paradox of relativity theory. We propose that isotropy is a requirement for a frame to be inertial; this makes it possible to relate motion to the large scale structure of the ...
متن کاملOn the Problem of Predicting Inflationary Perturbations
We examine the theoretical foundations of standard methods for computing density perturbations in inflationary models. We find that: (1) the time-delay formalism (introduced by Guth and Pi, 1982) is only valid when inflation is well-described by the de Sitter solution and the equation-of-state is nearly unchanging; and, (2) the horizon-crossing/Bessel approximation extends to non-exponential in...
متن کاملThe Gravitino-Overproduction Problem in Inflationary Universe
We show that the gravitino-overproduction problem is prevalent among inflation models in supergravity. An inflaton field φ generically acquires (effective) nonvanishing auxiliary field G Φ , if the Kähler potential is non-minimal. The inflaton field then decays into a pair of the gravitinos. We extensively study the cosmological constraints on G Φ for a wide range of the gravitino mass. For man...
متن کاملTaming the Runaway Problem of Inflationary Landscapes
A wide variety of vacua, and their cosmological realization, may provide an explanation for the apparently anthropic choices of some parameters of particle physics and cosmology. If the probability on various parameters is weighted by volume, a flat potential for slow-roll inflation is also naturally understood, since the flatter the potential the larger the volume of the sub-universe. However,...
