Inflationary Hubble Parameter from the Gravitational Wave Spectrum in the General Slow-roll Approximation
نویسنده
چکیده
Improved general slow-roll formulae giving the primordial gravitational wave spectrum are derived in the present work. Also the first and second order general slow-roll inverse formulae giving the Hubble parameter H in terms of the gravitational wave spectrum are derived. Moreover, the general slow-roll consistency condition relating the scalar and tensor spectra is obtained.

The Effects of Gravitational Back-Reaction on Cosmological Perturbations
Because of the nonlinearity of the Einstein equations, the cosmological fluctuations which are generated during inflation on a wide range of wavelengths do not evolve independently. In particular, to second order in perturbation theory, the first order fluctuations back-react both on the background geometry and on the perturbations themselves. In this paper, the gravitational back-reaction of l...
متن کاملp - adic Inflation
We construct approximate inflationary solutions rolling away from the unstable maximum of p-adic string theory, a nonlocal theory with derivatives of all orders. Novel features include the existence of slow-roll solutions even when the slow-roll parameters, as usually defined, are much greater than unity, as well as the need for the Hubble parameter to exceed the string mass scale ms. We show t...
متن کاملBirefringent gravitational waves and the consistency check of inflation
In this work we show that the gravitational Chern-Simons term, aside from being a key ingredient in inflationary baryogenesis, modifies super-horizon gravitational waves produced during inflation. We compute the super-Hubble gravitational power spectrum in the slow-roll approximation and show that its overall amplitude is modified while its spectral index remains unchanged (at leading order in ...
متن کاملFormalizing the slow-roll approximation in inflation.
The meaning of the inflationary slow-roll approximation is formalised. Comparisons are made between an approach based on the Hamilton-Jacobi equations, governing the evolution of the Hubble parameter, and the usual scenario based on the evolution of the potential energy density. The vital role of the inflationary attractor solution is emphasised, and some of its properties described. We propose...
متن کاملInflaton field potential producing the exactly flat spectrum of adiabatic perturbations Alexei
Presented is the exact solution of the problem of finding a potential of an inflaton scalar field for which adiabatic perturbations generated during a de Sitter (inflationary) stage in the early Universe have the exactly flat (or, the Harrison-Zeldovich) initial spectrum. This solution lies outside the scope of the slow-roll approximation and higher-order corrections to it. The potential found ...
