2 We are directly observing the history of the universe as we look deeply into the sky. JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 2
3 At ~10 4 yrs the universe becomes so hot and dense that light cannot penetrate ) CMB It is manifest from the observation of CMB that the universe is highly homogeneous and isotropic at large scales with ~10-5 fluctuations. But why? CMB sky (Planck 2015) JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 3

6 Solution to horizon problem: A period of fast expansion before the thermal big-bang. ) Cosmic inflation. The expansion of universe can be parameterized by the scale factor a(t). In simplest case. big-bang inflation last scattering JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 6
7 A period of exponential expansion before the thermal big-bang era, driven by vacuum energy: Inflation ends with vacuum energy decaying to SM particles, thermalizing the universe. Reheating. Slow-roll paradigm: A scalar field inflaton Very flat potential during inflation Fast decay during reheating JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 7
8 Quantum fluctuations: the most fascinating aspect of cosmic inflation. ds 2 = N 2 dt 2 ĝ ij (N i dt +dx i )(N j dt +dx j ) ĝ ij = e 2(Ht+ ) ( ij + h ij ) scalar mode tensor mode Last scattering comoving scale k 3 k 2 k 1 inflation big-bang time JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 8
9 Both scalar and tensor modes are frozen outside the horizon, and set the initial condition for the evolution of large scale structure as they reenter the horizon. k = H p 4 k 3 (1 + ik )e ik = H 1 e Ht, 2 ( 1, 0) Power spectrum: Scalar mode: h ~k ~k i Tensor mode: hh ~k h ~k i D TT [µk 2 ] D TT JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) (Planck 2015)
10 Scalar power spectrum has been measured with impressive precision (almost but not exact scale invariant spectrum). k = h 2 ki 0 = H2 4 k 3 H ik p (1 + ik )e 4 k 3 n s ' r ' 16 = 1 2 (V 0 /V ) 2, = V 00 /V (Planck 2015) JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 10
11 Scalar power spectrum has been measured with impressive precision (almost but not exact scaleinvariant spectrum). Tensor mode (primordial gravitational wave) hasn t been observed yet. But the observation of tensor mode would provide very valuable information, e.g., quantum gravity, and the scale of inflation. (Planck 2015) JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 11
12 However valuable it may be, the information in power spectrum is limited. (~ scale invariance) A far more fascinating world beyond linear perturbation theory: Non-Gaussianity. Simplest possibility: 3-point function / bispectrum h i, hh 1 h 2 h 3 i, Scale invariant limit: power spectrum becomes a single number, while bispectrum is a function of the shape of triangles. k 1 k 2 k 3 JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 12

14 The most observable signals are usually not the most informative or distinguishable ones, and vice versa. Example: Decay of Higgs boson into two photons. ATLAS 2011 JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 14

17 The Hubble scale during inflation can be much higher than any artificial collider. The energy density during inflation can be as high as GUT scale. Relatively low statistics LHC GUT Planck scale GeV JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 17
18 Our knowledge of new physics is poor, but we do know Standard Model very well. It is important to calibrate the cosmological collider using knonw physics (SM) before exploring new physics. Inflaton must couple to SM fields to ensure efficient reheating. inflaton X. Chen, Y. Wang, ZZX, arxiv: SM fields JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 18
19 The mass spectrum of SM is determined by: 1) Higgs couplings 2) Higgs VEV M X = g X h i When h i6=0: Quarks, leptons, and W/Z are massive. Photon and gluon are massless. JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 19
20 The mass spectrum of SM is determined by: 1) Higgs couplings 2) Higgs VEV M X = g X h i Higgs potential v v ' 246GeV, ' v4 Symmetry phase: E v )h i =0 Broken phase: E v )h i = v JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 20
21 In inflation E H, at least 3 possibilities: H v = O(10 2 GeV) : Usual electroweak broken phase. All fermions and W/Z massive. H v : (Typical) Electroweak symmetry restored. All SM fields are effective massless at tree level. Higgs field itself is the inflaton (Higgs inflation): h i O(10 19 GeV) H, fermions and W/Z pick up huge and time-dependent mass. JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 21
22 Typical inflation: all SM fields are massless. No longer true when quantum corrections are included. For massless fields, higher order loops are as important as leading tree diagrams, because zero modes are strongly coupled in de Sitter space. JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 22
23 Analogy with thermal fields in flat spacetime. 4 In massless theory with finite temperature T, the scalar field gets a thermal mass The BD vacuum in de Sitter appears to be a thermal state for any time-like geodesic observer with temperature. The naïve guess for effective mass in de Sitter m 2 e T 2 H 2 is incorrect. JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 23
24 This can already be understood using mean field theory, in which the effective mass is. For thermal in flat space,. In ds, two competing factors: classical rolling-down along the potential: h 2 i H 3 t quantum fluctuation: The equilibrium is reached at 4 ) h 2 i H 2 / p ) in agreement with solving zero-mode partition function on Euclidean ds,. S 4 t ( p H) 1 JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 24
25 Photon mass? Thermal field theory in flat spacetime breaks Lorentz symmetry ) Electric mass is allowed for photon. The gauge invariant mass corresponds to the nontrivial Wilson loop winding around compact imaginary time direction. BD vacuum is ds invariant. The Euclidean version doesn t allow nontrivial Wilson loop ) No gauge-invariant photon mass? JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 25
26 Subtleties of Wick rotation. No IR divergence or late-time divergence can occur in Euclidean ds (compact and bounded by Hubble radius). For studies of inflation, it is conceptually safer to work with real-time Schwinger-Keldysh formalism without Wick rotation. SK formalism: calculating in-in correlators using Feynman diagrams: hin OO ini = X out hin O outihout O ini JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 26
27 The late-time divergences all come from Higgs loops. Intuitively, a massless scalar field is frozen outside horizon and leads to late-time divergence. Massless fermion and vector boson dies away The action for massless fermion and vector boson is (classically) Weyl invariant. Power counting of scale factor: safe interaction and dangerous interaction à la Weinberg. JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 27
28 Two different types of loops: similar in UV but qualitatively different in IR / late-time. R d 4 xg(x, x) The loop integral itself is time independent by de Sitter symmetry; mass insertion. R d 4 xd 4 yg 2 (x, y) The leading order late-time divergence is from the region where all momenta go soft. JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 28

31 Resummed scalar propagator: G S r = H2 2k 3 ( k ) H 2 /2(2 m) 2 Compare it with massive propagator: Effective mass: G S (m) / ( ) 2m2 /3H 2 Partial resum: order 1 uncertainty; exact in large N limit; canceled out in the ratios of spectrum. JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 31

34 Self-consistency check: finiteness of resummed propagator ) the coefficient of leading late-time divergence should be positive. Quantum corrections don t generate oscillatory behavior (clock signal), at least in perturbation theory. Mass relation of general spin s>0, ) µ = r m 2 H 2 s scalars and photons can receive nonzero mass from loops while spin-1/2 fermion cannot JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 34
35 Typical Inflation: characteristic power dependence on momentum ratio in squeezed limit of bispectrum, from Higgs boson and massive gauge bosons. Very low scale inflation: Standard clock signals with full SM spectrum in the broken phase. Higgs inflation: Clock signals from relatively light fermion loops, with time-dependent mass. ) A possible new way of model discrimination. X. Chen, Y. Wang, ZZX, in preparation JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 35
36 1. Inflation: the large scale structure of our universe has a quantum origin! 2. The primordial non-gaussianity can be utilized as a super particle collider: Cosmological Collider 3. SM has nontrivial dynamics during inflation and can be used to calibrate the cosmological collider. JUN 30, 2016 ZZXianyu (CMSA) 36
