Second-order reconstruction of the inflationary potential.
To first order in the deviation from scale invariance the inflationary potential and its first two derivatives can be expressed in terms of the spectral indices of the scalar and tensor perturbations, n and nT , and their contributions to the variance of the quadrupole CBR temperature anisotropy, S and T . In addition, there is a “consistency relation” between these quantities: nT = −17 TS . We...
متن کاملMonte Carlo methods for Bayesian palaeoclimate reconstruction
In palaeoclimate reconstruction, the natural modelling direction is forwards from climate to sensors to proxy measurements. Statistical methods can be used to invert this direction, making climate inferences from proxy measurements. Among these methods, the Bayesian method would seem to deal best with the substantial epistemic uncertainties about climate, and about its impact on sensors. The ma...
متن کاملTomographic reconstruction using heuristic Monte Carlo methods
A tomographic reconstruction method based on Monte Carlo random searching guided by the information contained in the projections of radiographed objects is presented. In order to solve the optimization problem, a multiscale algorithm is proposed to reduce computation. The reconstruction is performed in a coarse-tofine multigrid scale that initializes each resolution level with the reconstructio...
متن کاملAspects of Inflationary Reconstruction
I review various aspects of techniques for reconstructing the potential of the inflaton field from observations, with special emphasis on difficulties which might arise. While my view is that if inflation is to prove viable then most likely it will be one of the simplest models, it is important to consider the impact should we need to move to a more complicated model-building realm.
متن کاملOptimization of Monte - Carlo calculations of the effective potential
We study Monte Carlo calculations of the effective potential for a scalar field theory using three techniques. One of these is a new method proposed and tested for the first time. In each case we extract the renormalised quantities of the theory. The system studied in our calculations is a one component φ 4 model in two dimensions. We apply these methods to both the weak and strong coupling reg...
