Kaluza-Klein modes in hybrid inflation
نویسنده
چکیده
When one constructs specific models with the fundamental scale as low as the TeV scale, there arise many difficulties. In this paper we examine the hybrid inflation due to bulk scalar fields, which has been proposed to solve the problem of fine-tuning in producing density perturbations. We find that the Kaluza-Klein modes play significant roles, which enhance the speed of the phase transition and alter the reheating process. We also argue that a lower bound must be put to the fundamental scale, in order to construct the successful hybrid inflation due to the bulk scalar fields.

Initial Kaluza-Klein fluctuations and inflationary gravitational waves in braneworld cosmology
We study the spectrum of gravitational waves generated from inflation in the Randall-Sundrum braneworld. Since the inflationary gravitational waves are of quantum-mechanical origin, the initial configuration of perturbations in the bulk includes Kaluza-Klein quantum fluctuations as well as fluctuations in the zero mode. We show, however, that the initial fluctuations in Kaluza-Klein modes have ...
متن کاملRealistic Hybrid Inflation in 5D Orbifold SO(10) GUT
We discuss the smooth hybrid inflation scenario in the context of a simple supersymmetric SO(10) GUT in 5D orbifold. In this GUT model, the SO(10) gauge symmetry is broken down to the Pati-Salam (PS) gauge group, SU(4)c× SU(2)L× SU(2)R, by orbifold boundary conditions and all matter and Higgs multiplets are placed only on the brane (PS brane) where only the PS symmetry is manifest. Further brea...
متن کاملBoundary Inflation
Inflationary solutions are constructed in a specific five–dimensional model with boundaries motivated by heterotic M–theory. We concentrate on the case where the vacuum energy is provided by potentials on those boundaries. It is pointed out that the presence of such potentials necessarily excites bulk Kaluza–Klein modes. We distinguish a linear and a non–linear regime for those modes. In the li...
متن کاملInflationary Universe in Kaluza-klein Theories
We describe extended inflation and its typical problems. We then briefly review essential features of Kaluza-Klein theory, and show that it leads to a scenario of inflationary cosmology in four dimensions. The problem of stable compactification of extra spatial dimensions is discussed. The requirements for successful exetended inflation lead to constraints on the parameters of higher dimensiona...
متن کاملOrigin of FRW cosmology in slow - roll inflation from noncompact Kaluza - Klein theory
Using a recently introduced formalism we discuss slow-roll inflation from Kaluza-Klein theory without the cylinder condition. In particular, some examples corresponding to polynomic and hyperbolic φ-potentials are studied. We find that the evolution of the fifth coordinate should be determinant for both, the evolution of the early inflationary universe and the quantum fluctuations .
