What happens when the inflaton stops during inflation

چکیده
The spectrum of adiabatic density perturbation generated during inflation is studied in the case the time derivative of an inflation-driving scalar field (inflaton) vanishes at some time during inflation. It is shown that the nondecaying mode of perturbation has a finite value even in this case and that its amplitude is given by the standard formula with the time derivation of the scalar field replaced by the potential gradient using the slow-roll equation.

Enhanced (p)reheating in DBI Inflation
We study preheating in DBI hybrid inflation. Preheating occurs since the matter fields are non-minimally coupled to the inflaton. Despite the coupling being small, preheating happens as a narrow parametric resonance in which matter fields and inflaton modes are exponentially created. We show that, within the approximations used, the process is very efficient at late times. The resonance stage g...
متن کاملRemote Inflation : Hybrid - like inflation without hybrid - type potential Tomohiro Matsuda
A new scenario of hybrid-like inflation is considered without using hybridtype potential. Radiation raised continuously by a dissipating inflaton field causes symmetry restoration in a remote sector, and the false-vacuum energy of the remote sector dominates the energy density during inflation. Remote inflation is terminated when the temperature reaches the critical temperature, or when the slo...

متن کاملCan Non-Adiabatic Perturbations Arise After Single-Field Inflation?
It is shown that non-adiabatic cosmological perturbations cannot appear during the period of reheating following inflation with a single scalar inflaton field. Electronic address: [email protected] According to a widely adopted picture [1], the perturbations to the Robertson– Walker cosmology arose from the quantum fluctuations in a slowly rolling scalar “inflaton” field during a peri...
متن کاملEnergy-Momentum Tensor of Field Fluctuations in Massive Chaotic Inflation
We study the renormalized energy-momentum tensor (EMT) of the inflaton fluctuations in rigid space-times during the slow-rollover regime for chaotic inflation with a mass term. We use dimensional regularization with adiabatic subtraction and introduce a novel analytic approximation for the inflaton fluctuations which is valid during the slow-rollover regime. Using this approximation we find a s...
