LIGO GRAVITATIONAL WAVE DETECTION, PRIMORDIAL BLACK HOLES, AND THE NEAR-IR COSMIC INFRARED BACKGROUND ANISOTROPIES

Journal Article Kashlinsky, A., E-mail: Alexander.Kashlinsky@nasa.gov - Astrophysical Journal Letters

LIGO's discovery of a gravitational wave from two merging black holes (BHs) of similar masses rekindled suggestions that primordial BHs (PBHs) make up the dark matter (DM). If so, PBHs would add a Poissonian isocurvature density fluctuation component to the inflation-produced adiabatic density fluctuations. For LIGO's BH parameters, this extra component would dominate the small-scale power responsible for collapse of early DM halos at z ≳ 10, where first luminous sources formed. We quantify the resultant increase in high- z abundances of collapsed halos that are suitable for producing the first generation of stars and luminous sources. The significantly increasedmore »« less

Primordial gravity waves and weak lensing

Journal Article Dodelson, Scott ; Rozo, Eduardo ; Stebbins, Albert - Phys.Rev.Lett.

Inflation produces a primordial spectrum of gravity waves in addition to the density perturbations which seed structure formation. We compute the signature of these gravity waves in the large scale shear field. In particular, the shear can be divided into a gradient mode (G or E) and a curl mode (C or B). The former is produced by both density perturbations and gravity waves, while the latter is produced only by gravity waves, so the observations of a non-zero curl mode could be seen as evidence for inflation. We find that the expected signal from inflation is small, peaking on the largest scales atmore »« less

Primordial massive gravitational waves from Einstein-Chern-Simons-Weyl gravity

Journal Article Myung, Yun Soo ; Moon, Taeyoon - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We investigate the evolution of cosmological perturbations during de Sitter inflation in the Einstein-Chern-Simons-Weyl gravity. Primordial massive gravitational waves are composed of one scalar, two vector and four tensor circularly polarized modes. We show that the vector power spectrum decays quickly like a transversely massive vector in the superhorizon limit z → 0. In this limit, the power spectrum coming from massive tensor modes decays quickly, leading to the conventional tensor power spectrum. Also, we find that in the limit of m{sup 2} → 0 (keeping the Weyl-squared term only), the vector and tensor power spectra disappear. It implies that their power spectra aremore »« less

Cosmic microwave background statistics for a direction-dependent primordial power spectrum

Journal Article Pullen, Anthony R ; Kamionkowski, Marc - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Statistical isotropy of primordial perturbations is a common assumption in cosmology, but it is an assumption that should be tested. To this end, we develop cosmic microwave background statistics for a primordial power spectrum that depends on the direction, as well as the magnitude, of the Fourier wave vector. We first consider a simple estimator that searches in a model-independent way for anisotropy in the square of the temperature (and/or polarization) fluctuation. We then construct the minimum-variance estimators for the coefficients of a spherical-harmonic expansion of the directional dependence of the primordial power spectrum. To illustrate, we apply these statisticsmore »« less

Analytic description of primordial black hole formation from scalar field fragmentation

Journal Article Cotner, Eric ; Kusenko, Alexander ; Sasaki, Misao ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We report that primordial black hole (PBH) formation is a more generic phenomenon than was once thought. The dynamics of a scalar field in inflationary universe can produce PBHs under mild assumptions regarding the scalar potential. In the early universe, light scalar fields develop large expectation values during inflation and subsequently relax to the minimum of the effective potential at a later time. During the relaxation process, an initially homogeneous scalar condensate can fragment into lumps via an instability similar to the gravitational (Jeans) instability, where the scalar self-interactions, rather than gravity, play the leading role. The fragmentation of themore »« less
