A pr 1 99 9 Some remarks on Oscillating Inflation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a recent paper Damour and Mukhanov describe a scenario where inflation may continue during the oscillatory phase. This effect is possible because the scalar field spends a significant fraction of each period f oscillation on the upper part of the potential. Such additional period of inflation could push perturbations after the slow roll regime to observable scales. Although we show that the small region of the Damour-Mukhanov parameter q gives the main contribution to oscillating inflation, it remained until now not satisfactory understood. Further, it drives to an expression for the energy density spectrum of perturbations, which is well behaved in the whole physical range of q .

Cosmic inflation is the only known mechanism with the potential to explain the very special initial conditions which are required at the early stages of the evolution of our universe. This article outlines my work with Joao Magueijo which attempts to construct an alternative mechanism based on a time-varying speed of light.

We show that Nambu-Poisson and Nambu-Jacobi brackets can be defined inductively: an n-bracket, n > 2, is Nambu-Poisson (resp. Nambu-Jacobi) if and only if fixing an argument we get an (n − 1)-Nambu-Poisson (resp. Nambu-Jacobi) bracket. As a by-product we get relatively simple proofs of Darboux-type theorems for these structures.

In forthcoming years, connections between cosmology and particle physics will be made increasingly important with the advent of a new generation of cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. Here, we review a number of these links. Our primary focus is on new CMB tests of inflation. We explain how the inflationary predictions for the geometry of the Universe and primordial density perturbat...
