Brane World Inflation with Scalar and Tachyon Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present inflationary models of the early universe in the braneworld scenario considering both scalar field and tachyon field separately. The technique of Chervon and Zhuravlev to obtain inflationary cosmological models without restrictions on a scalar field potential is employed here. We note that like scalar field, the inflationary solution obtained here with tachyon field also does not depend on its potential. However, unlike scalar field, inflation with tachyon is obtained for a restricted domains of the field to begin with. We obtain potentials for which one gets inflation using both scalar field and tachyon field separately. It is found that unlike the scalar field, the tachyonic field inflation sceanario can be realized from t > to.

Tachyon Defect Formation and Reheating in Brane-antibrane Inflation
We study analytically the dynamical formation of lower dimensional branes at the endpoint of brane-antibrane inflation through the condensation of topological defects of the tachyon field which describes the instability of the initial state. We then use this information to quantify the efficiency of the reheating which is due to the coupling of time dependent tachyon background to massless gaug...
متن کاملF-term, D-term and hybrid brane inflation
We study inflation and reheating in models for the brane universe, considering hybrid brane inflation without tachyon condensation. We expect that some fields that are localized on different branes interact with O(1) coupling when branes are on top of each other, while the interaction vanishes when branes are separated at a distance. If the interaction is needed to avoid spontaneous breaking of...
متن کاملBrane Decay and Defect Formation
Topological defects are generically expected to form in models of brane inflation. Braneanti-brane annihilation provides a way to gracefully end inflation, and the dynamics of the tachyon field results in defect formation. The formation of defects has been studied mainly from the brane world-volume point of view, but the defects are themselves lower-dimensional branes, and as a result they coup...
متن کاملNon-tachyonic brane inflation
We consider non-tachyonic hybrid inflation in the context of the braneworld cosmology. When one considers models for brane inflation, hybrid inflation is a natural consequence of the tachyon condensation if it appears at the end of inflation. In this case, however, reheating is a difficult problem due to the peculiar properties of the tachyon. In this paper we show some models for brane inflati...
متن کاملCosmological Scaling Solutions of the Tachyon with Multiple Inverse Square Potentials
We investigate cosmological dynamics of multiple tachyon fields with inverse square potentials. A phase-space analysis of the spatially flat FRW models shows that there exists a unique power-law cosmological scaling solution. We study the stability of the solution and find that the solution is a global attractor and a successful inflationary solution which is driven by multiple tachyon fields a...
