Inflationary paradigm in trouble after Planck 2013
Article history: Received 9 April 2013 Received in revised form 8 May 2013 Accepted 9 May 2013 Available online 14 May 2013 Editor: M. Cvetič Recent results from the Planck satellite combined with earlier observations from WMAP, ACT, SPT and other experiments eliminate a wide spectrum of more complex inflationary models and favor models with a single scalar field, as reported by the Planck Coll...
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...
متن کاملPeculiar Relics from Primordial Black Holes in the Inflationary Paradigm
Depending on various assumptions on the energy scale of inflation and assuming a primordial power spectrum of a Broken Scale Invariance (BSI) type, we explore the possibility for Primordial Black Holes (PBH) and Planck relics to contribute substantially to cold dark matter in the Universe. A recently proposed possibility to produce planck relics in 4-dimensional string gravity is considered. Po...
متن کاملFalse Vacuum Inflation Beyond the Planck Scale in Supergravity
We present a false vacuum inflationary scenario in which the inflaton field takes values considerably larger than the Planck scale. It is based on a class of inflationary potentials which can be derived from singular Kähler potentials in supergravity. Our scenario allows for a detectable gravitational wave contribution to the microwave background anisotropy.
متن کاملA model-independent fit to Planck and BICEP2 data
Inflation is the leading theory to describe elegantly the initial conditions that led to structure formation in our universe. In this paper, we present a novel phenomenological fit to the Planck, WMAP polarisation (WP) and the BICEP2 datasets using an alternative parameterisation. Instead of starting from inflationary potentials and computing the inflationary observables, we use a phenomenologi...
