Asymptotically Safe Non-Minimal Inflation
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the constraints imposed by the requirement of Asymptotic Safety on a class of inflationary models with an inflaton field non-minimally coupled to the Ricci scalar. The critical surface in the space of theories is determined by the improved renormalization group flow which takes into account quantum corrections beyond the one loop approximation. The combination of constraints deriving from Planck observations and those from theory puts severe bounds on the values of the parameters of the model and predicts a quite large tensor to scalar ratio. We finally comment on the dependence of the results on the definition of the infrared energy scale which parametrises the running on the critical surface.

Inflation by non-minimal coupling
Inflationary scenarios based on simple non-minimal coupling aφ2R and its generalizations are studied. First, generalizing the form of non-minimal coupling to K(φ)R with an arbitrary function K, we show that the flat potential still is obtainable when V (φ)/K2(φ) is asymptotically constant. Very interestingly, if the ratio of the dimensionless quartic coupling(λ) of the inflaton field and the no...
متن کاملControlled hypotension and minimal inflation pressure: a new approach for pneumatic tourniquet application in upper limb surgery.
UNLABELLED Minimal inflation pressures are recommended for limb surgery to eliminate complications attributable to high inflation pressures with the pneumatic tourniquets. We applied controlled hypotension and a minimal inflation pressure (CHAMIP) technique to provide a bloodless surgical field. Thirty-six patients scheduled for upper extremity surgery were randomized equally to receive either ...
متن کاملA Minimal Length from the Cutoff Modes in Asymptotically Safe Quantum Gravity
Within asymptotically safe Quantum Einstein Gravity (QEG), the quantum 4-sphere is discussed as a specific example of a fractal spacetime manifold. The relation between the infrared cutoff built into the effective average action and the corresponding coarse graining scale is investigated. Analyzing the properties of the pertinent cutoff modes, the possibility that QEG generates a minimal length...
متن کاملD-term inflation in non-minimal supergravity
D-term inflation is one of the most interesting and versatile models of inflation. It is possible to implement naturally D-term inflation within high energy physics, as for example SUSY GUTs, SUGRA, or string theories. D-term inflation avoids the η-problem, while in its standard form it always ends with the formation of cosmic strings. Given the recent three-year WMAP data on the cosmic microwa...
