Long-Wavelength Modes of Cosmological Scalar Fields
Scalar fields have played a major role in attempts to model the early Universe. In particular, nearly every incarnation of the inflation scenario has relied on scalars to generate vacuum energy and in turn exponential expansion and density fluctuations. Many of these models rely on slow roll potentials, i.e., potentials that are nearly flat where the scalar masses can be very small. Recently, h...
متن کاملLong wavelength limit of evolution of cosmological perturbations in the universe where scalar fields and fluids coexist
We present the LWL formula which represents the long wavelengh limit of the solutions of evolution equations of cosmological perturbations in terms of the exactly homogeneous solutions in the most general case where multiple scalar fields and multiple perfect fluids coexist. We find the conserved quantity which has origin in the adiabatic decaying mode, and by regarding this quantity as the sou...
متن کاملNonlinear perturbations of cosmological scalar fields
We present a covariant formalism for studying nonlinear perturbations of scalar fields. In particular, we consider the case of two scalar fields and introduce the notion of adiabatic and isocurvature covectors. We obtain differential equations governing the evolution of these two covectors, as well as the evolution equation for the covector associated with the curvature perturbation. The form o...
متن کاملGlobal integrability of cosmological scalar fields
We investigate the Liouvillian integrability of Hamiltonian systems describing a universe filled with a scalar field (possibly complex). The tool used is the differential Galois group approach, as introduced by Morales-Ruiz and Ramis. The main result is that the generic systems with minimal coupling are non-integrable, although there still exist some values of parameters for which integrability...
متن کاملComparing Selfinteracting Scalar Fields and Cosmological Models
We generalize the well-known analogies between m2φ2 and R+R2 theories to include the selfinteraction λφ4-term for the scalar field. It turns out to be the R + R3 Lagrangian which gives an appropriate model for it. Considering a spatially flat Friedman cosmological model, common and different properties of these models are discussed, e.g., by linearizing around a ground state the masses of the r...
