Scalar Perturbations in a String Inspired Inflationary Scenario
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider an inflationary model inspired in the low energy limit of string theory. In this model, the scale factor grows exponentially with time. A perturbation study is performed, and we show that there is a mode which displays an exponential growth in the perturbation of the scalar field.

A Predictive Inflationary Scenario Without The Gauge Singlet
We propose a new realization of the chaotic inflationary scenario in which the scalar field responsible for inflation also spontaneously breaks the underlying gauge symmetry at a superheavy scale ∼ 1015− 1017 GeV . A possible framework is provided by the superstring inspired gauge models, in which case several predictions are essentially model independent. The spectral index for the scalar pert...
متن کاملSome Aspects of Brane Inflation
The inflaton potential in four-dimensional theory is rather arbitrary, and fine-tuning is required generically. By contrast, inflation in the brane world scenario has the interesting feature that the inflaton potential is motivated from higher dimensional gravity, or more generally, from bulk modes or string theory. We emphasize this feature with examples. We also consider the impact on the spe...
متن کاملComplete constraints on a nonminimally coupled chaotic inflationary scenario from the cosmic microwave background
In spite of its many successes, the standard big-bang theory has faced serious problems, namely, the horizon, flatness, and monopole problems. In the beginning of the 1980s, an epoch-making idea called the inflationary scenario was advocated to solve these cosmological puzzles [1,2]. Later it was recognized that the concept gives us not only a solution to such puzzles, but also to the origin of...
متن کاملNonlinear perturbations of cosmological scalar fields with non-standard kinetic terms
We adopt a covariant formalism to derive exact evolution equations for nonlinear perturbations, in a universe dominated by two scalar fields. These scalar fields are characterized by non-canonical kinetic terms and an arbitrary field space metric, a situation typically encountered in inflationary models inspired by string theory. We decompose the nonlinear scalar perturbations into adiabatic an...
متن کاملString Gas Cosmology and Structure Formation -a Brief Review *
For suitable cosmological backgrounds, thermal fluctuations of a gas of strings can generate a scale-invariant spectrum of cosmological fluctuations without requiring a phase of inflationary expansion. We highlight the key points of this mechanism, and discuss cosmological backgrounds in which this scenario can be realized. The spectrum of cosmological perturbations has a small red tilt (like i...
