Dark matter chaotic inflation in light of BICEP2
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an economical model in which a singlet Z2-odd scalar field accounts for the primordial inflation and the present dark matter abundance simultaneously in the light of recent BICEP2 result. Interestingly, the reheating temperature and the thermal dark matter abundance are closely connected by the same interaction between the singlet scalar and the standard model Higgs. In addition, the reheating temperature turns out to be quite high, TR & 10 GeV, and hence the thermal leptogenesis is compatible with this model. Therefore, it can be one of the simplest cosmological scenarios.

Evidence for bouncing evolution before inflation after BICEP2.
The BICEP2 Collaboration reports a detection of primordial cosmic microwave background (CMB) B mode with a tensor-to-scalar ratio r = 0.20(-0.05)(+0.07) (68% C.L.). However, this result disagrees with the recent Planck limit r < 0.11 (95% C.L.) on constraining inflation models. In this Letter we consider an inflationary cosmology with a preceding nonsingular bounce, which gives rise to observab...
متن کاملDark energy in Chaotic Braneworld Inflation
In this paper, we show that in the framework of chaotic braneworld inflation, after preheating, the remaining oscillating inflaton field can play the role of dark matter with the observed level. Augmented by a non-zero effective cosmological constant Λ4 on the brane, triple unification of inflation, dark matter and dark energy by a single field is realized. Our model perhaps is the simplest one...
متن کاملGravitino problem in supergravity chaotic inflation and SUSY breaking scale after BICEP2
Article history: Received 24 April 2014 Accepted 26 May 2014 Available online 2 June 2014 Editor: J. Hisano Gravitinos are generically produced by inflaton decays, which place tight constraints on inflation models as well as supersymmetry breaking scale. We revisit the gravitino production from decays of the inflaton and the supersymmetry breaking field, based on a chaotic inflation model sugge...
متن کاملViability of the matter bounce scenario in Loop Quantum Cosmology from BICEP2 last data
The CMB map provided by the Planck project constrains the value of the ratio of tensor-to-scalar perturbations, namely r, to be smaller than 0.11 (95 % CL). This bound rules out the simplest models of inflation. However, recent data from BICEP2 is in strong tension with this constrain, as it finds a value r = 0.20 −0.05 with r = 0 disfavored at 7.0σ, which allows these simplest inflationary mod...
متن کاملThe Imaginary Starobinsky Model
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 matte...
