The Imaginary Starobinsky Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent detection by the BICEP2 collaboration of a high level of tensor modes seems to exclude the Starobinsky model of inflation. In this paper we show that this conclusion can be avoided: one can embed the Starobinsky model in supergravity and identify the inflaton field with the imaginary (instead of the real) part of the chiral scalaron multiplet in its formulation. Once coupled to matter, the Starobinsky model may then become the chaotic quadratic model with shift symmetry during inflation and is in good agreement with the current data. ar X iv :1 40 3. 55 31 v3 [ he pth ] 2 A pr 2 01 4

Decoherence in Starobinsky Model
Starobinsky described an inflationary scenario in which quantum corrections to vacuum Einstein's equations drive the inflation. The quantum cos-mology of the model is studied by solving Wheeler-DeWitt equation. A connection between uncertainty requirement, randomness in initial states as well as curvature fluctuation is studied with a Schroedinger-type equation through a time parameter prescrip...
متن کاملStarobinsky-like inflation and neutrino masses in a no-scale SO(10) model
Using a no-scale supergravity framework, we construct an SO(10) model that makes predictions for cosmic microwave background observables similar to those of the Starobinsky model of inflation, and incorporates a double-seesaw model for neutrino masses consistent with oscillation experiments and late-time cosmology. We pay particular attention to the behaviour of the scalar fields during inflati...
متن کاملJu n 19 99 Starobinsky Model in Schroedinger Description
In the Starobinsky inflationary model inflation is driven by quantum corrections to the vacuum Einstein equation. We reduce the Wheeler-DeWitt equation corresponding to the Starobinsky model to a Schroedinger form containing time. The Schroedinger equation is solved with a Gaussian ansatz. Using the prescription for the normalization constant of the wavefunction given in our previous work, we s...
متن کاملUV completion of the Starobinsky model, tensor-to-scalar ratio, and constraints on nonlocality
In this paper, we build upon the successes of the ultraviolet (UV) completion of the Starobinsky model of inflation. This involves an extension of the Einstein-Hilbert term by an infinite covariant derivative theory of gravity which is quadratic in curvature. It has been shown that such a theory can potentially resolve the cosmological singularity for a flat, homogeneous and isotropic geometry,...
