Title: Quantum cosmic no-hair theorem and inflation

Abstract

We consider implications of the quantum extension of the inflationary no-hair theorem. We show that when the quantum state of inflation is picked to ensure the validity of the effective field theory of fluctuations, it takes only O(10) e-folds of inflation to erase the effects of the initial distortions on the inflationary observables. Thus, the Bunch-Davies vacuum is a very strong quantum attractor during inflation. We also consider bouncing universes, where the initial conditions seem to linger much longer and the quantum “balding” by evolution appears to be less efficient.

Cosmic no-hair theorem in power-law inflation

Journal Article Kitada, Y ; Maeda, K - Physical Review, D (Particles Fields); (United States)

We prove a cosmic no-hair theorem for Bianchi models in power-law inflation. Provided that the potential of an inflaton {phi} is exp({minus}{lambda}{kappa}{phi}) with 0{le}{lambda}{lt} {radical}2/3 , we find that the isotropic power-law solution is the unique attractor for any initially expanding Bianchi-type models except type IX. For Bianchi type IX, this conclusion is also true if the initial ratio of the vacuum energy to the maximum three-curvature is larger than one half.

Power Law Inflation and the Cosmic No Hair Theorem in Brane World

Journal Article Paul, B C ; Beesham, A - AIP Conference Proceedings

We study the cosmic no hair theorem for anisotropic Bianchi models that admit power law inflation with a scalar field in the framework of Brane world. The power law inflationary solution obtained here is driven by the curvature term in the modified field equation in Brane. It is found that all Bianchi models except Bianchi type IX, transit to an inflationary regime with vanishing anisotropy. We note that in the Brane world anisotropic universe isotropizes much faster than that in the general theory of relativity.

Inflation in a renormalizable cosmological model and the cosmic no-hair conjecture

Journal Article Maeda, K ; Stein-Schabes, J A ; Futamase, T - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

The possibility of having inflation in a renormalizable cosmological model is investigated. The cosmic no-hair conjecture is proved to hold for all Bianchi types except Bianchi type IX. By the use of a conformal transformation on the metric we show that these models are equivalent to the ones described by the Einstein-Hilbert action for gravity minimally coupled to a set of scalar fields with inflationary potentials. Henceforth, we prove that inflationary solutions behave as attractors in solution space, making it a natural event in the evolution of such models.

We study the entire coupled evolution of the inflaton {phi}(t) and the scale factor a(t) for general initial conditions {phi}(t{sub 0}) and d{phi}(t{sub 0})/dt at a given initial time t{sub 0}. The generic early Universe evolution has three stages: decelerated fast roll followed by inflationary fast roll and then inflationary slow roll (an attractor always reached for generic initial conditions). This evolution is valid for all regular inflaton potentials v({phi}). In addition, we find a special (extreme) slow-roll solution starting at t=-{infinity} in which the fast-roll stages are absent. At some time t=t{sub *}, the evolution backwards in time frommore »« less

Short distance and initial state effects in inflation: Stress tensor and decoherence

Journal Article Anderson, Paul R ; Molina-Paris, Carmen ; Mottola, Emil ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We present a consistent low energy effective field theory framework for parametrizing the effects of novel short distance physics in inflation, and their possible observational signatures in the cosmic microwave background. We consider the class of general homogeneous, isotropic initial states for quantum scalar fields in Robertson-Walker (RW) spacetimes, subject to the requirement that their ultraviolet behavior be consistent with renormalizability of the covariantly conserved stress tensor which couples to gravity. In the functional Schroedinger picture such states are coherent, squeezed, mixed states characterized by a Gaussian density matrix. This Gaussian has parameters which approach those of the adiabatic vacuummore »« less
