  1. YKIS2018a symposium @ YITP 2018/2/19 - 2018/2/23 Primordial perturbations from hyperinflation Shuntaro Mizuno (YITP, Kyoto) with Shinji Mukohyama (YITP, Kyoto) arXiv: 1707.05125 [hep-th] (Physical Review D 96, 103533)

  2. Inflation • Phenomenological success - Solving problems of big-bang cosmology (Flatness problem, Horizon problem, Unwanted relics,… ) - Providing origin of the structures in the Universe almost scale invariant, adiabatic and Gaussian perturbations supported by current observations (CMB, LSS) • Theoretical challenge Still nontrivial to embed the single-field slow-roll inflation into more fundamental theory (Review, Baumann & McAllister, `14) - Difficult to obtain a flat potential - Scalar fields are ubiquitous in fundamental theories

  3. Inflation with negative field-space curvature • Formulation to analyze perturbations Sasaki & Stewart, `96, Gong & Tanaka, `11, Elliston et al, `12 • Examples (without significant effect on perturbation) - Inflation with large extra-dimension Kaloper et al, `00 Kallosh, Linde, Roest , `13, ….. - Alpha-attractor scenario • Examples (with significant effect on perturbation) - Geometrical destabilization Renaux-Petel & Turzynski, `15 - Hyperinflation SM & Mukohyama, `17, (See also Brown, `17)

  4. Model Hyperbolic field-space with curvature scale : radial direction : angular direction (for ) Potential with rotational symmetry, a minimum at cf. ``spinflation ” Easson et al, `07 : integration constant

  5. Background dynamics of scalar-fields • Basic equations with for ``slow- roll” • Inflationary attractors standard inflation hyperinflation with parametrizing angular velocity

  6. Power-law hyperinflation • Potential (constant) • Slow-roll parameter for general potential • Condition for hyperinflaion For , we can obtain inflation from steeper potential !! cf. for standard power-law inflation

  7. Basic equations for linear perturbations • Perturbation ( spatially-flat gauge, ) • Canonical variables with • Equations of motion ( conformal time ) Coupling depending on h

  8. Behavior of perturbations in asymptotic regions • Asymptotic solutions on subhorizon scales Bunch-Davies vacuum • Asymptotic solutions on superhorizon scales (Adiabatic mode, constant shift in , two heavy modes) For the concrete value of , we need numerical calculations !!

  9. Time evolution of perturbations 10 larger angular velocity 8 6 4 2 0 -2 -15 -5 -1 0 -20 -10 Instability starts at at late-time

  10. Curvature perturbation ・ Curvature perturbation ・ Super-Hubble evolution of in multi-field inflation Gordon, Wands, Bassett, Maartens `01 entropic For hyperinflation adiabatic

  11. Observational constraints Exponential enhancement in h !! ・ Power spectrum ・ Spectrum index cf. Planck constraint Deviation from exponential potential must be small !! ・ Tensor-to-scalar ratio GW detection will reject hyperinflation with large h !!

  12. Summary • We have studied hyperinflation with action (See also, Brown, `17) • We have quantified the deviation from de Sitter spacetime Inflation from potentials steeper than usual for !! • We have calculated the power spectrum of Potentials deviating from exponential are strongly constrained !!
