2 1 Introduction Tachyon field cosmology 3 Tachyon inflation in an AdS braneworld 4 Conclusion
3 Introduction The inflationary universe scenario in which the early universe undergoes a rapid expansion has been generally accepted as a solution to the horizon, flatness, etc. problems of the standard big-bang cosmology. Recent years - a lot of evidence from WMAP, Planck, etc. observations of the CMB.
4 Introduction We study (real) scalar field in cosmological context. General Lagrangian action: 4 S d x g ( X ( ), ) Lagrangian (Lagrangian density) of the standard form: (, ) X( ) V( ) Non-standard Lagrangian: ( T, X ) V tach ( T ) 1 X ( T ) 1 X g TT
5 Introduction The action: 4 S d x g X T (, ) In cosmology, scalar fields can be connected with a perfect fluid which describes (dominant) matter in the Universe. Components of the energy-momentum tensor: S T g g T ( P ) u u Pg
6 Introduction T ( P ) u u Pg Pressure, matter density and velocity 4-vector, respectively: P( X, T) ( X, T) ( X, T ) X ( X, T ) X T u X
7 Introduction Total action: term which describes gravity (Ricci scalar, Einstein-Hilbert action) plus term that describes cosmological fluid (scalar field Lagrangian): 4 S d x g R X T (, ) Einstein equations: 1 R Rg T

16 Tachyon inflation in an AdS braneworld Randall Sundrum models (1999) imagine that the real world is a higher-dimensional universe described by warped geometry. More concretely, our universe is a five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space and the elementary particles except for the graviton are localized on a (3+1)-dimensional brane(s). A simple cosmological model of this kind is based on the RSII model.
17 Tachyon inflation in an AdS braneworld Cosmology on the brane is obtained by allowing the brane to move in the bulk. Equivalently, the brane is kept fixed at z=0 while making the metric in the bulk time dependent. The fluctuation of the interbrane distance implies the existence of the radion. Radion a massless scalar field that causes a distortion of the bulk geometry.

26 Tachyon inflation in an AdS braneworld Some numerical results: 60 N 10, 1 1 and
27 Conclusion We have investigated a model of inflation based on the dynamics of a D3-brane in the AdS5 bulk of the RSII model. The bulk metric is extended to include the back reaction of the radion excitations. The ns/r relation here is substantially different from the standard one and is closer to the best observational value. The model is based on the brane dynamics which results in a definite potential with one free parameter only. We have analized the simplest tachyon model. In principle, the same mechanism could lead to a more general tachyon potential if the AdS5 background metric is deformed by the presence of matter in the bulk.
