N-flation: Multifield inflationary dynamics and perturbations
We carry out numerical investigations of the dynamics and perturbations in the Nflation model of Dimopoulos et al. (2005). This model features large numbers of scalar fields with different masses, which can cooperate to drive inflation according to the assisted inflation mechanism. We extend previous work to include random initial conditions for the scalar fields, and explore the predictions fo...
متن کاملSimple predictions from multifield inflationary models.
We explore whether multifield inflationary models make unambiguous predictions for fundamental cosmological observables. Focusing on N-quadratic inflation, we numerically evaluate the full perturbation equations for models with 2, 3, and O(100) fields, using several distinct methods for specifying the initial values of the background fields. All scenarios are highly predictive, with the probabi...
متن کاملSuperhorizon perturbations and preheating
We discuss the evolution of linear perturbations about a Friedmann– Robertson–Walker background metric, using only the local conservation of energy– momentum. We show that on sufficiently large scales the curvature perturbation on spatial hypersurfaces of uniform-density is constant when the non-adiabatic pressure perturbation is negligible. We clarify the conditions under which super-horizon c...
متن کاملAmplitude of Superhorizon Cosmological Perturbations
We study the influence of reheating on super-horizon density perturbations and gravitational waves. We correct wrong claims 1 about the joining of perturbations at cosmological transitions and about the quantization of cosmological perturbations.
متن کاملIsocurvature perturbations in multiple inflationary models.
Dynamics of long-wave isocurvature perturbations during an inflationary stage in multiple (multi-component) inflationary models is calculated analytically for the case where scalar fields producing this stage interact between themselves through gravity only. This enables to determine correct amplitudes of such perturbations produced by vacuum quantum fluctuations of the scalar fields during the...
