Perturbations in stochastic inflation
The perturbative approach to stochastic inflation is used to determine the spectrum of density fluctuations and gravitational waves due to the coarse grained field. The amplitude of the curvature fluctuation spectrum, the spectral index and the running of the spectral index are in general found to be smaller than in the standard approach to inflation. Furthermore, the amount of non-gaussianity ...
متن کاملDensity Perturbations in Chain Inflation
We consider the model of “Chain Inflation,” in which the period of inflation in our universe took the form of a long sequence of quantum tunneling events. We find that in the simplest such scenario, in which the tunneling processes are uniform, approximately 104 vacua per e-folding of inflation are required in order that the density perturbations produced are of an acceptable size. We arrive at...
متن کاملPrimordial perturbations from inflation
I review the standard analysis of adiabatic scalar and tensor perturbations produced by slow-roll inflation driven by a single scalar field, before going on to discuss recent work on the role of non-adiabatic modes during and after inflation. Isocurvature perturbations correlated with adiabatic modes may be produced during multi-field inflation and would give valuable information about the phys...
متن کاملPerturbations in generalized multi-field inflation
We study the linear perturbations of multi-field inflationary models governed by a Lagrangian which is a general function of the scalar fields and of a global kinetic term combining their spacetime gradients with an arbitrary field space metric. Our analysis includes k -inflation, Dirac-Born-Infeld inflation and its multi-field extensions which have been recently studied. For this general class...
متن کاملNon-Gaussian perturbations in hybrid inflation
We consider second order inflationary perturbations in the case of two scalar fields, σ and the inflaton φ. We derive an expression for the non-Gaussianity of perturbations and apply the results to hybrid inflation. We isolate the contributions due to σ and evaluate the resulting terms to show that σ-induced non-Gaussianities dominate over inflaton-induced non-Gaussianities when m2σ & ηH , wher...
