Nonminimal Inflation and the Running Spectral Index
We study a class of models in which the inflaton is minimally coupled to gravity with a term f(R)φ. We focus in particular on the case when f ∼ R, the expansion of the scale factor is driven by the usual potential energy, while the rolling of the inflaton is driven by the nonminial coupling. We show that the power spectrum is in general blue, and the problem of getting a running spectral index ...
متن کاملRunning Spectral Index as a Probe of Physics at High Scales
The WMAP results on the scalar spectral index n and its running with scale, though preliminary, open a very interesting window to physics at very high energies. We address the problem of finding inflaton potentials well motivated by particle physics which can accomodate WMAP data. We make a model independent analysis of a large class of models: those with flat tree-level potential lifted by rad...
متن کاملReconstructing the inflaton potential for an almost flat COBE spectrum.
Using the Hubble parameter as new ‘inverse time’ coordinate (H-formalism), a new method of reconstructing the inflaton potential is developed also using older results which, in principle, is applicable to any order of the slow-roll approximation. In first and second order, we need three observational data as inputs: the scalar spectral index ns and the amplitudes of the scalar and the tensor sp...
متن کاملFlat Tree-level Inflationary Potentials in Light of CMB and LSS Data
We use cosmic microwave background and large scale structure data to test a broad and physically well-motivated class of inflationary models: those with flat tree-level potentials (typical in supersymmetry). The non-trivial features of the potential arise from radiative corrections which give a simple logarithmic dependence on the inflaton field, making the models very predictive. We also consi...
