Brane Interaction as the Origin of Inflation
نویسنده
چکیده
We reanalyze brane inflation with brane-brane interactions at an angle, which include the special case of brane-anti-brane interaction. If nature is described by a stringy realization of the brane world scenario today (with arbitrary compactification), and if some additional branes were present in the early universe, we find that an inflationary epoch is generically quite natural, ending with a big bang when the last branes collide. In an interesting brane inflationary scenario suggested by generic string model-building, we use the density perturbation observed in the cosmic microwave background and the coupling unification to find that the string scale is comparable to the GUT scale.

Brane Q-ball, branonium and brane Q-ball inflation
We consider a time-dependent brane configuration that corresponds to the Q-ball in the effective Lagrangian. We discuss the brane Q-balls, branonium and brane Q-ball inflation, which might have the same origin. We show the allowed parameter regions for these configurations. It is shown that the brane Q-ball looks similar to a conventional Q-ball when it is large, but its decay is dominated by t...
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 کاملReheating a multi-throat universe by brane motion
We propose a mechanism of reheating after inflation in multi-throat scenarios of warped extra dimensions. Validity of an effective field theory on the standard model (SM) brane requires that the position of the SM brane during inflation be different from the position after inflation. The latter is supposed to be near the tip of the SM throat but the former is not. After inflation, when the Hubb...
متن کاملBrane Inflation : String Theory viewed from the Cosmos ∗
Brane inflation is a specific realization of the inflationary universe scenario in the early universe within the brane world framework in string theory. The naturalness and robustness of this realistic scenario is explained. Its predictions on the cosmological observables in the cosmic microwave background radiation, especially possible distinct stringy features, such as large non-Gaussianity o...
متن کاملWilson Line Inflation
We present a general set-up for inflation in string theory where the inflaton field corresponds to Wilson lines in compact space in the presence of magnetic fluxes. T -dualities and limits on the value of the magnetic fluxes relate this system to the standard D-brane inflation scenarios, such as brane-antibrane inflation, D3/D7 brane inflation and different configurations of branes at angles. T...
