Large gravitational waves and the Lyth bound in multi-brane inflation

Journal Article Krause, Axel - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

It is shown that multi-M5-brane inflation in heterotic M-theory gives rise to a detectable gravitational wave power spectrum with tensor fraction r typically larger than the projected experimental sensitivity, r{sub exp} = 0.01. A measurable gravitational wave power spectrum entails a large inflationary energy scale and a super-Planckian inflaton variation. They present serious problems for particle theory model building as regards a reliable effective field theory description. These problems are eased or even absent in multi-brane inflation models and multi-M5-brane inflation, in particular.

Sub-Planckian two-field inflation consistent with the Lyth bound

Journal Article McDonald, John - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

The BICEP2 observation of a large tensor-to-scalar ratio, r = 0.20{sup +0.07}{sub -0.05}, implies that the inflaton φ in single-field inflation models must satisfy φ ∼ 10M{sub Pl} in order to produce sufficient inflation. This is a problem if interaction terms suppressed by the Planck scale impose a bound φ ∼< M{sub Pl}. Here we consider whether it is possible to have successful sub-Planckian inflation in the case of two-field inflation. The trajectory in field space cannot be radial if the effective single-field inflaton is to satisfy the Lyth bound. By considering a complex field Φ, we show that a near circular but aperiodic modulation ofmore »« less
