Couplings and spectra in modular inflation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-02-12 v2

Abstract

We analyze how the spectrum of perturbations produced in a multi-component modular inflation model proposed by Kadota and Stewart depends on couplings between the two moduli. Although some simple direct couplings give essentially the same results as the original model, dn/dlnkn1dn/d\ln k \propto n-1, simple indirect couplings produce a power law spectrum, n1=constantn-1 = \textrm{constant}, which can naturally be close to scale invariant.
