We propose the inflationary cosmology based on the 5-dimensional gravity + gauge theory.

In our model, two scalar fields, radion and gauge-Higgs , are obtained from 5d-gravity field and 5d-gauge field after compactification.

- Can the effective potential be identified with inflaton potential?

- If possible, which scalar fields has the role of inflaton?

- Where did inflaton come from? Gravity, gauge theory or both?

- In string theory point of view, radion appears from closed string and gauge-Higgs appears from open string.

Slow-roll inflation scenario-01Inflation is the rapidly accelerated expansion of space at early stage of our universe.From the particle physics point of view, the slow-roll inflation can be explained using a scalar potential (inflaton potential).Slow-roll approximation( ) gives vacuum conditions and , where and .

inflation solution

: scale factor: Newton const.: curvature

Inflation theory is the dynamics of scalar field(s) “inflaton”.

Constraints on inflaton potential-111) slow-roll conditions : flatness of potential

2) spectral index : amount of scale dependence of fluctuation

3) e-folding number : period in which inflation continues

4) curvature perturbation : reproduce the temperature fluctuations of CMB

5) tensor to scalar ratio : energy scale of inflation

6) quantum gravity correction is negligible.

Fine-tuning problem on inflational cosmology-21

What kind of symmetry can control scalar potential?

Scalar field doesn’t have a 4d symmetry of controlling the potential.

The serious divergent term appears from the quantum correction.We must balance the relation between and .

On the other hand,

Where does the fine-tuning come from?

The gauge and gravity field doesn’t have the mass term, thanks to the gauge symmetry and general coordinate transformation invariance.

Scalar fields are the extra components of the higher-dimensional fields.

Both Gauge-Higgs and Radion are higher-dimension origin. However, each property and behavior differ from each other.We can calculate the finite one-loop potential , thanks to the 5D gauge symmetry and 5D general coordinate transformation invariance.

Besides the vacuum of potential, radion direction is the first rolling direction.

In our model, gauge-Higgs inflation can occur.

This model is large field inflation.However, we could evaluate the potential without serious fine-tuning.

Radion is very important in determining the physical parameters, especially gauge coupling, matter masses and compactification scale.

Summary-F3

Gauge-Higgs is inflaton. What is the role of radion?

- Can the effective potential be identified with inflaton potential?

- If possible, which scalar fields has the role of inflaton?

- Where did inflaton come from? Gravity, gauge theory or both?

- In string theory point of view, radion appears from closed string and gauge-Higgs appears from open string.

Our focus again4Our effective potential can cause inflation.

Gauge-Higgs is inflaton.

Inflation appears from gauge field. However, radion is also essential.

What is the origin of inflaton? “Closed string VS Open string”

Our result could indicate that the quantum theory of gravity such as string theory is necessary to understand the mechanism of inflation more properly.

- It would be interesting to study the inflation based on the effective potential relating several scalar fields such as the dilaton, the moduli (including the radion) and the gauge-Higgs in the framework of string theory.
