2 introduction GW detected! It exists! aligo detected GW from BH binary Primordial GW soon? PGW observed by the CMB B-mode Projects are on-going e.g. LiteBIRD (Japan), CMB-S4(US), etc..
3 introduction Why PGW? Universal prediction of inflation Vacuum GW: r vac 10 3 H inf GeV 2 New physics & Model selection
4 introduction Vacuum fluctuation Inflation generates fluctuations from vacuum h k + k 2 2 τ 2 h k = 0, h k = 2 2k e ikτ M Pl. δφ & M Pl h ij are produced with amplitude O H inf because H inf is the only dimensionful quantity. P vac h = 2H 2 inf π 2 2 r P h 2 H M Pl P inf ζ
5 introduction Why PGW? Universal prediction of inflation Vacuum GW: r vac 10 3 H inf GeV 2 New physics & Model selection
6 1 Introduction 6 What if r is detected? We now know ρ inf!
7 Are You Sure??
8 If you detect r 0.05, is it 100% OK to report H inf GeV?
9 introduction No! That s not necessarily true.
10 introduction The Golden Rule H inf GeV r obs /2 can be broken.
11 introduction Axion-SU(2) model Larger GW than h vac can be produced r obs = r vac + r add
12 introduction Axion-SU(2) model Larger GW than h vac can be produced r obs = r vac + r add
13 introduction Axion-SU(2) model Larger GW than h vac can be produced r obs = r vac + r add r obs = r vac 10 3 H inf GeV 2
14 introduction Result H inf GeV H inf GeV
15 introduction Result H inf GeV H inf GeV Alternative GW may lead to overestimate of inflation H
16 introduction Plan of talk 1 Model: Produce additional GW, r ρ inf 2 Observation: TB & EB, Non-G, tilt n t 3 Discussion: Lowest ρ inf for r = 10 3??
17 introduction Plan of talk 1 Model: Produce additional GW, r ρ inf 2 Observation: TB & EB, Non-G, tilt n t 3 Discussion: Lowest ρ inf for r = 10 3??
18 introduction Our scenario GW version of Curvaton mechanism [Enqvist&Sloth(2002), Lyth&Wands(2002), Moroi&Takahashi(2002)] L inflaton + L spectator H inf ρ inf vac P GW ρ spec Source spec P GW L inf is arbitrary and responsible for ζ generation. L spec is added just to produce GW during inf.
19 Model How s it work? Adding axion-su(2) gauge spectator sector L = L inflaton χ 2 μ 4 cos χ f F μν a F aμν λ 4f χf μν a F aμν [cf. Chromo-natural inflation: Adshead&Wyman(2012)]
20 Model How s it work? Adding axion-su(2) gauge spectator sector L = L inflaton Inflaton sector P ζ Decoupled χ 2 U χ 1 4 FF λ 4f χf F spec P GW Axion- SU(2) gauge spectator sector
21 Model Why SU(2)? SVT Decomposition Theorem: At the 1 st order cosmological perturbation, scalar, vector and tensor are decoupled. δs, δv i Source δt ij
22 Model Why SU(2)? SVT Decomposition Theorem: At the 1 st order cosmological perturbation, scalar, vector and tensor are decoupled. δs, δv i Source δt ij
23 Model Why SU(2)? Using the 2 nd order pert., GW can be sourced. spec But it s hard to generate P GW vac PGW. i δs j δs, δv i δv j Source δt ij [Biagetti et al.(2013), Mukohyama et al.(2014), TF et al.(2015), Ferreira et al.(2015), Choi et al.(2015), Namba et al.(2016).]
24 Model Way Out Background vector field V i BG helps. Isotropy is violated V i BG δv j Source δt ij V i BG CMB says the universe is isotropic. U(1) gauge SU(2) gauge Anisotropic BG Isotropic BG is Attractor. [Maleknejad&Erfani(2014)]
25 Model Way Out Background vector field V i BG helps. V i BG δv j Source δt ij CMB says the universe is isotropic. Isotropy is conserved A 3 3 A 2 2 A 1 1 U(1) gauge Anisotropic BG A i a = aa BG t δ i a SU(2) gauge Isotropic BG is Attractor. [Maleknejad&Erfani(2014)]
26 Model BG dynamics V(χ) χ BG V eff A BG 1 2 H2 2 A BG + μ4 sin χ f 3gλ A BG A BG χ BG A BG SU(2) gauge field has non-zero vev while χ is slowly rolling down its potential.

28 Model Flow of dynamics BG: Axion χ BG Vector A i BG Pert: t ij = A i BG δa j GW (s) h ij
29 Coupling of Tensor perturbations The T.T. component of A i δa j is named t ij A BG (i δa a j) t ij, i t ij = t ij = 0 The EoM for GW mode function gets source terms h k + k 2 2 τ 2 h k = O Ω A 1/2 tk Now GW has the inhomogeneous solution!
30 Model Beat vacuum We can source h ij at linear order. However A i BG δa j t ij h ij, Source h vac ij Both are 1 st order. No reason for h source h vac. We need to amplify the former, but how? Instability of tensor pert. of SU(2)
31 Instability of Chiral Tensor Background χ and A BG break the parity symmetry (SSB), 0 χ t, x P χ t, x 0 A a i = aa BG a δ P i aa BG a δ i Therefore, when we use left/right-handed polarization t R/L 1 2 t+ ± it, h R/L 1 2 h+ ± ih t R and t L behave in different ways.
