Warped Wilson line DBI inflation

Journal Article Avgoustidis, A. ; Zavala, I., E-mail: tasos@ecm.ub.es, E-mail: zavala@th.physik.uni-bonn.de - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We propose a novel inflationary scenario in string theory in which the inflaton field is a Wilson line degree of freedom in the worldvolume of a probe Dp-brane, in a warped flux compactification. Kinetic terms for Wilson line fields on the world volume of a D-brane take a nonstandard Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) form. Thus, we work in the framework of DBI inflation. This extends the original slow roll Wilson line inflationary scenario, where only the quadratic piece was considered. Warped DBI Wilson line inflation offers an attractive alternative to ordinary (position field) DBI inflation, inasmuch as observational and theoretical constraints getmore »« less

Combined features in the primordial spectra induced by a sudden turn in two-field DBI inflation

Journal Article Mizuno, Shuntaro ; Saito, Ryo ; Langlois, David - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We investigate the features generated by a sharp turn along the inflationary trajectory in a two-field model of Dirac-Born-Infeld inflation, where one of the fields is heavy. Distinct features are generated by two different effects: the mixing of the light and heavy modes during the turn, on the one hand, and the resonance between the oscillations along the heavy direction after the turn, on the other hand. Contrary to models with standard kinetic terms, the resonance effect is not strongly suppressed because the action contains derivative interactions. Working in the potential basis, we study the oscillations after the turn andmore »« less

DBI potential, DBI inflation action and general Lagrangian relative to phantom, K-essence and quintessence

Journal Article Zhang, Qing ; Huang, Yong-Chang - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We derive a Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) potential and DBI inflation action by rescaling the metric. The determinant of the induced metric naturally includes the kinetic energy and the potential energy. In particular, the potential energy and kinetic energy can convert into each other in any order, which is in agreement with the limit of classical physics. This is quite different from the usual DBI action. We show that the Taylor expansion of the DBI action can be reduced into the form in the non-linear classical physics. These investigations are the support for the statement that the results of string theory aremore »« less

Stochastic inflation revisited: non-slow-roll statistics and DBI inflation

Journal Article Tolley, Andrew J ; Wyman, Mark - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Stochastic inflation describes the global structure of the inflationary universe by modeling the super-Hubble dynamics as a system of matter fields coupled to gravity where the sub-Hubble field fluctuations induce a stochastic force into the equations of motion. The super-Hubble dynamics are ultralocal, allowing us to neglect spatial derivatives and treat each Hubble patch as a separate universe. This provides a natural framework in which to discuss probabilities on the space of solutions and initial conditions. In this paper we derive an evolution equation for this probability for an arbitrary class of matter systems, including DBI and k-inflationary models, andmore »« less

DBI in the sky: Non-Gaussianity from inflation with a speed limit

Journal Article Alishahiha, Mohsen ; Silverstein, Eva ; Tong, David ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We analyze the spectrum of density perturbations generated in models of the recently discovered 'D-cceleration' mechanism of inflation. In this scenario, strong coupling quantum field theoretic effects sum to provide a Dirac-Born-Infeld-like action for the inflaton. We show that the model has a strict lower bound on the non-Gaussianity of the cosmic microwave background radiation power spectrum at an observable level, and is thus falsifiable. This, in particular, observationally distinguishes this mechanism from traditional slow-roll inflation generated by weakly interacting scalar fields. The model also favors a large observable tensor component to the cosmic microwave background radiation spectrum.
