2 Introduction

3 Inflation: the origin of Big Bang Brout, Englert & Gunzig 77, Starobinsky 79, Guth 81, Sato 81, Linde 8, Inflation is a quasi-exponential expansion of the Universe at its very early stage; perhaps at t~10-36 sec. It was meant to solve the initial condition (singularity, horizon & flatness, etc.) problems in Big-Bang Cosmology: if any of them can be said to be solved depends on precise definitions of the problems. Quantum vacuum fluctuations during inflation turn out to play the most important role. They give the initial condition for all the structures in the Universe. Cosmic gravitational wave background is also generated. 3

15 Implications 15

16 16 Inflation as the Origin of All Structures of the Universe

17 Current status 17 scalar spectral index: n s <1 at ~ 5 s tensor/scalar ratio: r < 0.1 implies E inflation < GeV simple, canonical models are on verge of extinction (m f model excluded at > s) R (Starobinsky) model seems to fit best. But why? (large R correction but negligible higher order terms) f NL local <O(1) suggests (effectively) single-field slow-roll (but non-slow-roll models with f NL local =O(1) not excluded) element of non-canonicality is needed

18 18 Beyond (standard model of) Inflation

19 non-canonical models 19 Non-canonical kinetic term? (c s <1?) 1 equil 1 P ( cs: sound speed), fnl c c s non-minimal coupling to gravity? V Planck: c s > 0.04 at 95% CL ( f) f R T 1 r P ( k) P k scalar-tensor with derivative couplings (Hordeski)? c 1, cst, 1, c c, s s s T tensor propagation speed s ( ) Planck: > O(10)? multi-field models, non-attractor inflation, non-existence of Einstein frame? definition of inflation?

20 Anomalies & Features 0 Wiggles (dip) in the power spectrum signature of a heavy field? Chen 11, step/feature in potential? Leach et al. 01,. non-bd vaccum? Easther et al. 0,. Suppressed large scale fluctuations featured potential? open inflation? Linde, MS & Tanaka 99,.

21 Cosmic Landscape? 1 string theory suggests an intriguing picture of the early universe taken from Maybe we live in one of these vacua

22 Universe jumps around in the landscape by quantum tunneling expansion rate it can go up to a vacuum with larger r v de Sitter (ds) space ~ thermal state with T =H/ if it tunnels to a vacuum with negative r v, it collapses within t ~ M P / r v 1/. so we may focus on vacua with positive r v : ds vacua r v 0 Sato, Kodama, MS & Maeda ( 81)

23 Open Inflation in Cosmic Landscape 3 Universe inside nucleated bubble = spatially open universe Friedmann eq. H a r 1 a M a 3 P negative spatial curvature r 1 1 W W 3 M P H a H Observational data indicate 1-W 0 = W K,0 ~< 10 - : almost flat ( 0 stands for current value) K density parameter

24 What if this is the case? 4 two possibilities 1. inflation after tunneling was short enough (N~60) W 1W 10 ~10 K,0 0 3 open universe signatures in large angle CMB anisotropies? Kanno, MS & Tanaka ( 13), White, Zhang & MS ( 14),. inflation after tunneling was long enough (N>>60) W 1 W 1 K,0 0 flat universe signatures from bubble collisions Sugimura, Yamauchi & MS ( 1),

25 scalar suppression on large scales Linde, MS & Tanaka (1999) White, Zhang & MS (014) 5 scalar tensor (no suppression) scalar suppression begins at smaller scale curvature radius H 0-1 if W K 0.01 break scale

26 dipole power asymmetry P( k; n) 1 Adˆ n P ( k) line of sight dipole iso 6 no asymmetry in the direction of ell=1 dipole asymmetry in the direction maximizing the asymmetry

27 Planck 013 XXIII 7 T T 1 T Acos T iso A 0.07

28 Gradient of a field over the horizon scale = Super-curvature mode in open inflation MS, Tanaka & Yamamoto 95 8 curvature radius size of observable universe may modulate the amplitude of perturbation depending on the direction. leading order effect is dipolar 3 if this is the case, then K ~ 10 W Kanno, MS & Tanaka 13 Brynes, Domenech, MS & Takahashi 16

29 9 Scale-dependent non-gaussianity? Planck XVII Slightly above 1-s deviation from zero What if this is primordial? may be due to TSS coupling in a massive tensor theory Domenech, Hiramatsu, Lin, MS, Shiraishi, Wang 16
