WMAPping the Inflationary Universe
نویسنده
چکیده
An epoch of accelerated expansion, or inflation, in the early universe solves several cosmological problems. While there are many models of inflation only recently has it become possible to discriminate between some of the models using observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation and large-scale structure. In this talk, we discuss inflation and its observational consequences, and then the status of current cosmological observations and their implications for different models of inflation.

In this paper, the analytical solutions of Brans-Dicke (B-D) equations with cosmological constant are presented, in which the equation of state of the universe is P=mÙ° ρ , under the assumption φRn=c between the B-D field and the scale factor of the universe. The flat (K=0) Robertson- Walker metric has been considered for the metric of the universe. These solutions are rich in the sense that ...
متن کاملTowards the Theory of Stationary Universe.
This talk presents some progress achieved in collaboration with A.Linde and D.Linde towards understanding the true nature of the global spatial structure of the Universe as well as the most general stationary characteristics of its timedependent state with eternally growing total volume. In our opinion, the simplest and, simultaneously, the most general version of inflationary cosmology is the ...
متن کاملFrom the big bang theory to the theory of a stationary universe.
We consider chaotic inflation in the theories with the effective potentials which at large φ behave either as φ or as e. In such theories inflationary domains containing sufficiently large and homogeneous scalar field φ permanently produce new inflationary domains of a similar type. This process may occur at densities considerably smaller than the Planck density. Self-reproduction of inflationa...

light years away from each other, so the universe would be practically structureless. We argue that the Hartle-Hawking wave function does not describe the probability of creation of the universe. If one uses the tunneling wave function for the description of creation of the universe, then in most inflationary models the universe should have Ω = 1, which agrees with the standard expectation that...
