Stochastic Quantum Gravitational Inflation
During inflation explicit perturbative computations of quantum field theories which contain massless, non-conformal fields exhibit secular effects that grow as powers of the logarithm of the inflationary scale factor. Starobinskĭı’s technique of stochastic inflation not only reproduces the leading infrared logarithms at each order in perturbation theory, it can sometimes be summed to reveal wha...
متن کاملPerturbations 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 کاملCorrelation functions in stochastic inflation
Combining the stochastic and δN formalisms, we derive non-perturbative analytical expressions for all correlation functions of scalar perturbations in single-field, slow-roll inflation. The standard, classical formulas are recovered as saddle-point limits of the full results. This yields a classicality criterion that shows that stochastic effects are small only if the potential is sub-Planckian...
متن کاملStochastic Inflation : New Results 1
We prove that, in stochastic approach, there exists an equivalence relation between different inflationary models under some redefinition of field and time variables. The postinflationary physics is insensitive to it and one can say that related theories are in fact indistinguishable from the viewpoint of a local observer. We discuss the methodology of cosmology as a branch of natural science a...
متن کاملAdaptive ensemble member size reduction and inflation
In this paper we address the question of given a set of ensemble members of a certain size is there a way to consistently reduce the number of ensemble members at a later stage in the assimilation cycles. An extension to this is given this reduction is it possible to reintroduce the ensemble members at a later time if the order of accuracy is decreasing, is also considered. To address this prob...
