Title: Cosmological gravitational particle production of massive spin-2 particles

Abstract

The phenomenon of cosmological gravitational particle production (CGPP) is expected to occur during the period of inflation and the transition into a hot big bang cosmology. Particles may be produced even if they only couple directly to gravity, and so CGPP provides a natural explanation for the origin of dark matter. In this work we study the gravitational production of massive spin-2 particles assuming two different couplings to matter. We evaluate the full system of mode equations, including the helicity-0 modes, and by solving them numerically we calculate the spectrum and abundance of massive spin-2 particles that results from inflation on a hilltop potential. We conclude that CGPP might provide a viable mechanism for the generation of massive spin-2 particle dark matter during inflation, and we identify the favorable region of parameter space in terms of the spin-2 particle’s mass and the reheating temperature. As a secondary product of our work, we identify the conditions under which such theories admit ghost or gradient instabilities, and we thereby derive a generalization of the Higuchi bound to Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetimes.

Stability, ghost, and strong coupling in nonrelativistic general covariant theory of gravity with {lambda}{ne}1

Journal Article Yongqing, Huang ; Anzhong, Wang - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

In this paper, we investigate three important issues: stability, ghost, and strong coupling, in the Horava-Melby-Thompson setup of the Horava-Lifshitz theory with {lambda}{ne}1, generalized recently by da Silva. We first develop the general linear scalar perturbations of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe with arbitrary spatial curvature and find that an immediate by-product of the setup is that, in all the inflationary models described by a scalar field, the FRW universe is necessarily flat. Applying them to the case of the Minkowski background, we find that it is stable, and, similar to the case {lambda}=1, the spin-0 graviton is eliminated. The vectormore »« less

Completely dark matter from rapid-turn multifield inflation

Journal Article Kolb, Edward W. ; Long, Andrew J. ; McDonough, Evan ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We study cosmological gravitational particle production as applied to “rapid-turn” models of inflation involving two scalar fields. We are interested in the production of massive spin-0 particles that only interact gravitationally and provide a candidate for the dark matter. Specifically, we study two models of rapid-turn multifield inflation, motivated in part by the de Sitter swampland conjecture, that are distinguished by the curvature of field space and the presence or absence of field space ‘angular momentum’ conservation. We find that one of these models leads to insufficient particle production and cannot explain the observed dark matter relic abundance. The secondmore »« less

Ghost dark matter

Journal Article Furukawa, Tomonori ; Yokoyama, Shuichiro ; Ichiki, Kiyotomo ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We revisit ghost dark matter, the possibility that ghost condensation may serve as an alternative to dark matter. In particular, we investigate the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) background evolution and the large-scale structure (LSS) in the ΛGDM universe, i.e. a late-time universe dominated by a cosmological constant and ghost dark matter. The FRW background of the ΛGDM universe is indistinguishable from that of the standard ΛCDM universe if M∼>1eV, where M is the scale of spontaneous Lorentz breaking. From the LSS we find a stronger bound: M∼>10eV. For smaller M, ghost dark matter would have non-negligible sound speed after the matter-radiation equality,more »« less

Nonequilibrium inflaton dynamics and reheating: Back reaction of parametric particle creation and curved spacetime effects

Journal Article Ramsey, S A ; Hu, B L - Physical Review, D

We present a detailed and systematic analysis of the nonperturbative, nonequilibrium dynamics of a quantum field in the reheating phase of inflationary cosmology, including full back reactions of the quantum field on the curved spacetime, as well as the fluctuations on the mean field. We use the O(N) field theory with unbroken symmetry in a spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe to study the dynamics of the inflaton in the post-inflation, preheating stage. Oscillations of the inflaton{close_quote}s zero mode induce parametric amplification of quantum fluctuations, resulting in a rapid transfer of energy to the inhomogeneous modes of the inflaton field.

Catastrophic production of slow gravitinos

Journal Article Kolb, Edward W. ; Long, Andrew J. ; McDonough, Evan - Physical Review. D.

We study gravitational particle production of the massive spin-3/2 Rarita-Schwinger field, and its close relative, the gravitino, in FRW cosmological spacetimes. For masses lighter than the value of the Hubble expansion rate after inflation, m_3/2 ≲ H, we find catastrophic gravitational particle production, wherein the number of gravitationally produced particles is divergent, caused by a transient vanishing of the helicity-1/2 gravitino sound speed. In contrast with the conventional gravitino problem, the spectrum of produced particles is dominated by those with momentum at the UV cutoff. This suggests a breakdown of effective field theory, which might be cured by new degreesmore »« less
