15 Dispersion Relation from the Effective Field Theory of Inflation (EFToI) In unitary gauge where the inflaton fluct. are eaten by the perturbation of the metric, the time diffeomorphism is broken. In this gauge, the most general action that respects the remaining spatial diffeomorphism is The time-diffeomorphism which is non-linearly realized can be restored using the Stueckelberg procedure t! t + 0 (x µ ) 0 (x µ )! (x µ ) then we demand that under t! t + 0 (x µ )! 0

16 Dispersion Relation from the Effective Field Theory of Inflation (EFToI) u = a K ij (@ j i g 0j ), u 00 +( 0 k k k )u =0 2 In fact implementing the stueckelberg mechanism to the spatially invariant action, yields As expected terms proportional to k 6 2 appears. However terms proportional to appears too which leads to Ostrogradski ghosts. Also there will be correction of the dispersion relation from the from the presence of k 4 2 and k = 2 = 4 =0 k 6 at high momenta

17 Dispersion Relation from the Effective Field Theory of Inflation (EFToI) Also there will be correction of the dispersion relation from the from the presence of k 4 2 and k = 2 = 4 =0 k 6 at high momenta With 3 > 0, we can achieve our desired scenario where 0 > 0, 0 < 0 and 0 > 0 0 and respectively the speed of sound could be always set to one by a reparameterization d! c s d We also assume that the dispersion relation never becomes tachyonic on sub-hubble scales z We also assume there is one horizon-crossing event corresponding to! 2 (k) =2H 2 For z> 1 3, there is only one turning point automatically. For 1 4 apple z apple 1 3

21 Estimation of Bogoliubov coefficients Sixth Order Polynomial with an intermediate negative group velocity For 0 =0.2

22 Estimation of Bogoliubov coefficients Sixth Order Polynomial with an intermediate negative group velocity Introducing the variable x k u 00 k + 0x 4 0 x x 2 u k =0. The positive frequency WKB mode in infinite past as the initial condition one can integrate the mode equation for specific values of and. 0 0 Largest enhancement in the power spectrum is obtained for P S = S P B.D. where for these values of parameters S ' ' 0.2 and 0 ' Now we wan to translate this to the language of excited states. Unfortunately does not saturate as! 0. Mathematica can find an implicit solution for the e.o.m. u k (x) =c 1 u (1) k (x)+c 2u (2) k (x) c 1 c 2 c 2 c 1 = i. u (i) k (1) = 1 u(i)0 k (1) = 1 and

23 Estimation of Bogoliubov coefficients Sixth Order Polynomial with an intermediate negative group velocity c 1 c 2 c 2 c 1 = i. c 1 = 1 p 2a and c 2 = i a p 2 where a 2 R a is determined such that the power spectrum from result. u k ( ) is the same as the numerical There will be four solutions where two of them are negative of the other ones. p We look for a solution u X h i k ( ) = k H (1) 2 3/2 ( k )+ (2)( k ) kh that produces such 3/2 value for power spectrum, it is continuous at an earlier point and it s derivative is also continuous at that point. From all 4 solutions for a, only has such a characteristic that u k ( ) and u X k ( ) reconcile after the point of integration.

25 Conclusion Not always true that the effect of evolution of the modes when they have high momenta is sub-dominant. If there is modified dispersion relation with an interim phase with negative group velocity, the corrections to the power spectrum could be quite large. I also showed how one can realize these dispersion relations in the EFToI. I provided a method to Bogoliubov coefficients such that they lead to the exact estimate of the power spectrum. With the help of dispersion relation were built.! 2 = k 2 0 k k 6 excited states with k & 9 If perturbations start from such super-excited states, M. few 10H

26 Conclusion Generally, we will have enhancement of the non-gaussianity in the local shape for such super-excited states. Position-dependent modulation of these states can be used to explain the observed hemispherical anomaly. Rotational Symmetry Breaking Excited Initial States can create power spectrum with statistical anisotropy and anisotropic bispectrum. Bispectrum in such modified dispersion relations is what we are investigating. Effect of (rk) 2 on tensor perturbations EOM is under investigation too.
